Your unique story.
Captured in a genuine, heartfelt way.
Let’s make magic together.
My approach to every wedding is to be an observer with an open heart.
I believe the more invisible I am, the more natural the day plays out to be - the day you hope it will be - a day of love in the purest way, a day where you can be true to yourself.
My hope is that you won’t remember me as a hired photographer, but a friend, who felt everything you felt, and who happened to be very good at documenting the in-between moments in a meaningful, artful way.
The Process
VALUES THAT GUIDE ME
Honesty
My hope is to capture your story in the most honest and genuine way possible. I believe my subtle, invisible approach to each wedding gives space for organic, real moments to fully flourish - that space where you can be truly yourselves - authentic & whimsical, silly & wonderful, vulnerable & joyful.
Thankfulness
I’m a big advocate for being thankful and it’s something I try to instil to my kids everyday. Out of thankfulness comes an appreciation for the smaller things in life - the way the light twinkles through a window, the wonder of a child, how a mother looks at her daughter walking down the aisle. These small moments join the dots to connect the bigger story.
Kindness
Kindness is something I keep at the forefront of my mind on a daily basis. It is with this attitude that I approach every wedding and my prayer is that it shows through my photographs with a warmth and sincerity.

FAQ
Do you have a second photographer?
Most of my best work is done solo - I’ve worked for a wedding photographer for more than 15 years so have enough experience of a wedding day to anticipate moments before they happen. On occasion I have brought a second shooter, depending on the schedule of the day.
Do you work with videographers?
Yes, definitely! Most of my clients hire me for my invisible subtle approach, and it’s essential that whoever you end up hiring as a videographers would have a similar approach.
Do you give out RAW unedited photos?
No, because editing is half the battle of processing a digital image. If you ever feel like you are missing photos, feel free to ask! An average 9 hour wedding receives about 800+ images, which is usually covers everything from the day.
Do you help with the planning?
I believe my 15+ years of experience as a wedding photographer can help with the planning of your wedding. I’m pretty creative in coming up for win-win solutions as well, so feel free to ask for help if you do need it!
Do you travel outside of Melbourne for weddings?
Yes! A small travel fee would apply for weddings outside of Melbourne. I can give you a quote for travel once we have a chat about the logistics of your wedding day.
I also frequent Singapore quite often because my family still lives there so if our timings match up, then no travel fee would apply.Do you shoot film for a wedding?
I would love to shoot film for an entire wedding! I’ve shot a couple of family sessions and weddings completely on film and have loved it, but usually as a second shooter or as a favour where there is low risk. If you did want me to photograph completely on film, we can certainly discuss it!
