Meet your Photographer

Who am I? How did I get here?

I grew up in the Blue Mountains, NSW, which makes it sound like I was destined to be a landscape photographer with a $20,000 European film camera and a beret.

That wasn’t me at all.

What started as a fun weekend thing slowly snowballed into shooting weddings… a lot of weddings. One day I looked at my calendar and realised I was too busy to keep the normal office job I hated anyway.

Now, years later, I’m still here doing what I love, meeting incredible people, and somehow calling this work.

Accidentally found the best job ever.

Whoops :)

What it’s like working with me

Choosing your wedding photographer isn’t just about the photos.
It’s about how the day feels.

Relaxed.
Fun.
Unforced.

When you feel comfortable, and the vibe is right: The moments are real, and the images last.

I focus on creating space for genuine connection, energy, and joy. When you’re relaxed and having a great time with me, the photos take care of themselves.

I’ll be with you through most of the day, so my goal is simple: make things feel easy, lighten the nervous moments, and feel more like part of the party than a stranger with a camera.

I also offer a couple of things most photographers don’t, like a Wedding Night Collection (yes, edited sneak peeks on the night), and hybrid photo/video coverage if you want something in between stills and a full film.

TL;DR:
Joyfully candid images, and an experience that actually feels good.

That’s my approach. Now, see some real wedding photos!

Show me!
