01. How would you describe your style & approach?
My style is romantic, photojournalistic, natural, poetic & gentle. Basically a fly on the wall approach. My priority is to keep the day relaxed & fun for you both. I am here to document what really happens in an unobtrusive way, capturing beautiful and truthful pictures with movement and emotion, that tell your story and represent the day as it unfolds. I observe closely & look for the intimacy & the raw emotions in the 'in between' & unseen moments, searching for light, laughter, mood & beauty.

05. Do you travel for weddings? Do you charge a travel fee?
Absolutely. I've been lucky enough to document some pretty incredible and unique celebrations of love all over the world, including Italy, Norway, Malta, Spain, Bali, New Zealand, and locally, from Perth, Brisbane, Tasmania, Adelaide, Sydney, & to some of the most beautiful parts of northern NSW. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia. Let me know whereabouts the big day is taking place and I'll provide you with a personalised quote.
06. Can we chat before booking?
Yes, of course. Whether it's before you make a booking or closer to the wedding day, let’s discuss all of the plans, details & timelines. I am here for you either over the phone or on zoom and available during business hours on weekdays.
07. Can you help us with our timeline for the day?
I will always assist in my recommendations for timings and work with you based on your timeline and time of year.
Feel free to reach out to me at any stage of the planning process for help with this.
08. Do you have back up gear & public liability insurance?
Yes most definitely. I always carry a back up camera and lenses when I am shooting, and have public liability insurance of up to 20 million.
09. Do you have dream vendor recommendations you can share with us?
Whether you're looking for a videographer that’s not going to go to corn-town, a gown that's a little different from the rest, a unique floral arbour that takes your breath away, delicious food that your loved ones will never forget, or an intimate & romantic un-wedding-y venue, whatever it is, here is a collection of some of the incredible vendors I’ve had the pleasure of working with and highly recommend as your dream team.

10. Do you recommend that we book a second photographer?
It is often just me working alongside you on the day, a second photographer is recommended depending on the specific details and guest count of the wedding, and I will be able to let you know should I feel you need one. I advise booking a second photographer with a guest count of 100 or more and for weddings with detailed & fast-paced events taking place throughout the day, especially city weddings with lots of different locations, driving & parking required. I can only be in one place at the same time, whereas a second photographer can offer a second perspective and capture shots that otherwise I may not physically be able to.
Second photographers can be added for $100 per hour for the same original hourly coverage.
11. How can we book you?
In 2024, I am only taking on a maximum of 12 weddings + elopements, this will allow me time for other creative adventures.
In order to confirm your booking, a non-refundable booking fee of $1500 is to be paid, and a signed contract. The remainder is due 4 weeks before the wedding date. All bookings are done electronically. All prices are quoted in AUD and include GST.
