Joshua McTackett - Meet your Photographer

Who am I?

Born and raised in the picturesque Blue Mountains, NSW, I’m a husband to an amazing wife and beautiful baby girl.

I’m obsessed with living around greenery (My wife says I have too many indoor plants), and the calm feeling of the outdoors.

Capturing events of all kinds, I quickly fell in love with weddings, and they have since been my favourite thing to capture. It’s every couple’s most wonderful day, and helping couples to have the most fun and enjoyable wedding is totally addictive to me.

What’s My Approach?

I believe photography is one of the greatest mediums for telling a story beautifully. Photography on your wedding day should show who you are individually and as a couple beautifully.

I believe both weddings and photography should be really fun for everyone. I strongly believe when you feel energised, happy and comfortable, you’ll look great - To this end, I put focus on you having a light-hearted, enjoyable time for photos instead of having you in an awkward pose and yelling “smile!”.

One of the reasons I am such a big endorser of engagement shoots, is because they never fail to make couples more confident, ready and excited for their wedding images. They also give us a chance to get to know each other in a really low pressure environment, to see how we all get along.

I’m also one of the rare wedding photographers in Canberra who can shoot hybrid photo/video coverage.


I come prepared. I use equipment of a very high quality, that’s capable of completely silent shooting to keep you in the moment, and not thinking about photography. Weddings, especially the important moments, cannot be repeated, so, any responsible photographer should, I also use backup gear end-to-end through my process. This keeps your images as safe as possible from the second they’re captured, until they’re delivered to you.

Because your photographer will be with you through most of your day, My goal is on building a great relationship with you, supporting you while covering your day, so that you can be as much at ease as possible on what is for many, a nervous day. I aim to make the nervous times fun, and to create something naturally beautiful for you. The way I do this is by not taking myself seriously and becoming a welcomed part of your party!
