Pre-Wedding Photography in Melbourne




















Honest Storytelling,
with a touch of whimsy
Intimate, Organic, Warm & Heartfelt.
Pre-Wedding Photographer in Melbourne
Your relationship is a story; made up of an infinite number of moments, merged together by the rhythms & repetitions of life, bonded by love. Moments of quiet, moments of softening, moments of strength, moments of whimsy. My belief is that your photographs should reflect who you are as a couple - whether it be loving big adventures, or lazing in on a Sunday morning, or sitting quietly next to each other - the silence feeling as comfortable as any conversation. In many ways, the photographs of you both together should be simple, honest and true.

Hi, I’m Jon
Hi, my name is Jonathan, but you can call me Jon.
I was once asked to describe my photography style. Words like “journalistic, candid, natural, minimalistic” all came to mind. But I finally blurted out - “I hope when you look back at the photographs from your wedding day, it felt like a dear friend had captured those moments.”
A friend’s point of view - intimate, organic, honest and heartfelt. That’s everything I aim for your photographs to look and feel like.

Really happy with the variety of locations and timing we went with, the colours are stunning. Thank you so much, for your amazing direction on the day and your time to edit them. You captured us perfectly.”
“It was wonderful having you shoot our engagement photos. We're not normally a couple thats comfortable being in front of the camera but you made us very at ease. The photos came out beautifully and just what we wanted - candid, natural but dreamy at the same time. Thank you Jon!”
“These photos look amazing!! You are a magician at getting us to look natural and not weird. And we really love the colours - you made them pop! So glad we got you as our photographer. You made us really comfortable. Thank you so much for these! We appreciate you and all you've done for us.”

“Our pre wedding shoot was one of our best investment in the journey of our wedding. We loved the photos - they captured the little intimate moments between us and was everything we wanted & more. Thank you Jon.”
“We have followed Jon’s photography for many years as we really like his style & approach. It was definitely our pleasure to meet and work with him when we visited Melbourne for holiday. We can be quite awkward in front of the camera but Jon did a great job and made the session very easy for us. It's no surprise our pre wedding photos turned out amazing and we love all of them.”
“Jon has an amazing ability to capture the in-between moments - the ones most people would’ve missed; when we were us just being ourselves. He worked his magic to translate those moments into the most beautiful portraits. “
“Jon has a way of capturing not just a beautiful image, but the very essence of a relationship or the moment. It was an absolute pleasure to get our engagement portraits taken by Jon.”
