big days, little days and all the days inbetween

Ok, so let’s start this off with the most important thing - I love a wedding.

No matter what your day looks like, where it is or who it’s in front of, there’s few things nicer than two people who are ab-so-lutely stoked about tying the knot. One of the greatest things about taking photos is getting to photograph weddings, giving couples tangible little memories they’ll take with them forever.

If you’re here, you’re probably planning out your (big (or little)) day. Drop me a line to chat, but I reckon I’d be pretty chuffed to be there on the day if you’ll have me.

Whoever you are, I’d love to take ya pics

It’s important to say, right up the top of this webpage - I’d love to be at your wedding, no matter who you are and who you love.

If you’re organising a wedding, you deserve the coolest bloody wedding pics out there, and I think I can deliver the goods, here (along with a trillion nifty instant photos for you to take home). If you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, this of course goes and I’d adore the opportunity to be your photographer, to help you celebrate and give you some photos that you can look back on and love for ever.

Have a gaz’ at some of the brilliant lovebirds I’ve had the privilege of photographing, and let me know if you’d like to be the next?

Imogen and Joe in Burnswick in eary 2022. An unbelievable dancefloor, and a sneaky wedding gift of a signed Buddy Franklin footy boot!

Danielle and Daniel, in Jindivic in early 2022. An intimate garden wedding and a nutbush dancefloor that’d put the best Aussie evening to shame.

Tanya and Anthony, in Hawthorn at the end of 2021. A gorgeous and close wedding in a beautiful park, complete with champagne, Polaroids and the most beautifully relaxed vibe.

Matt and Thyme, at their backyard forest elopement. It was the two of them, myself and their brilliant celebrant. It had emotion, silliness, endless smiles and only a couple of leeches to gatecrash.

Rachel and Peter - my first wedding, up in Albury, and one of the most gorgeously-relaxed ceremonies for two people so very much in love.

Bonnie and Darren, at Oakridge in the Yarra Valley. A boiling hot day, a road-related delay and a majestic wedding amongst the vineyards.

Tom and Emily tied the knot at the registry, before some fun photos around the CBD and karaoke with pals. Couldn’t be better.

The memo to visitors: bring sunnies.

Manusha married Corey at Quat Quatta in a teary but lovely ceremony, followed by an absolutely ripper dancefloor session with many many many close friends and family members.

Kaitlyn married Pat at Log Cabin Ranch in Monbulk - a scorcher at 36 degrees, but it didn’t stop them from pulling out flips on the dancefloor.

Zip me a lil’ email if you wanna flag dates, float some ideas or lock in some snazzy snaps.

I’d recommend you do this early as dates fill up, things are on / everything is happening at once / who knows what the future holds / isn’t it nice to get things sorted?
