Tell us about your business!

My imagery is intentional, warm and emotive, the kind of imagery that embodies the energy alive in every fleeting moment. 

My ability to seamlessly blend documentary and editorial styles allows me to effortlessly capture the art within authenticity, with striking sartorial flare and a gentle thoughtfulness. My galleries are a visual love note to modern design, compelling landscapes and the deep connection between the couples in front of my lens.

A series of moments; inspired by art, guided by emotion.

What would you like couples to know about you?

Wedding photography really combines all my greatest joys in life: Travelling the world, compelling architecture, expression through fashion and modern design, and human connection.  

I am a true aesthete at heart – my imagery is an amalgamation of inspirational raptures. I love curating thoughtfully artistic visual narratives that observe 'the art' within 'the authentic’. 

Beyond my love of art, I also love connecting with the beautiful couples who step in front of my lens. It’s incredibly personal and humbling to be invited to document a couples’ story and I take that very seriously. Building a sense of trust, familiarity and warmth with my couples is critical and allows me to capture imagery, which is not only aesthetically beautiful, but fiercely authentic. 

Where are you based?

I am currently based between South East Queensland and Sydney.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely. I am so fortunate to capture weddings across the world, so travel remains intrinsically entwined and celebrated throughout my work.

How would you describe your style?

My style is clean, modern, intentional, and soaked in just the right amount of sartorial flare. My galleries are the artistic amalgamation of who my couples are, how they are together and what they value most, as a couple.

What is your most memorable career moment?

My first international wedding will forever be a career highlight etched in my heart – not only because it took me to the South of France amongst some of the most divine scenery (and Rosé in the world) but because I was so privileged to spend almost a week with my couple and their beautiful family – to be invited into someone’s world, and trusted to look after not only them but their family – that’s a memory I will hold onto forever and a constant reminder that what I do extends far beyond the galleries I deliver.

What inspires you?

I started my photography journey in travel and fashion editorial work, both of which continue to be key sources of inspiration for me. I am particularly drawn to, and inspired by, modern design, the vibrancy of different cultures and personal expression through fashion and art. 

The unique stories, family, connections, cultures and traditions of my couples are also a constant source of inspiration – no two weddings are the same, because no two couples are the same -- and I love the challenge and beauty of that simple fact.

How would you describe your working style?

My approach to wedding photography is very much shaped by the couples I am so privileged to capture and the stories that connect them to their wedding day, long after they have lived it.   The moments I document on a couple’s wedding day are thoughtfully curated into a collection of the life and vibrancy that unfolds while they’re not looking. Whilst they’re present and centred throughout their experience, my focus is always on shaping a couple’s story around warm connections, genuine emotion, contemporary sartorialism and unapologetically joyful celebration. My approach extends beyond capturing candid, unscripted moments – my goal is to embody the emotion and energy alive in every exchange through a loose editorial approach, that is grounded in genuine connection, warmth and trust.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

Yes, I love seeing both formats entwined throughout my galleries – I currently offer digital, 35mm film and super 8mm film. I am very intentional with how I incorporate film into final galleries, as although offering a different perspective to digital, I still very much want everything to feel and look cohesive and thoughtful. Film is where my photography education began so it feels very natural to have returned to that place.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

Absolutely – while my Signature Collections are certainly the most popular, I am always happy to customise my offerings to suit my couples’ distinct vision– from multi-day celebrations to intimate elopements – I adore them all.

What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?

Multi-day celebration offerings are a forever favourite as I love the opportunity to be totally absorbed in a couples’ joyful celebrations.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

Italy forever holds a very special place in heart – Sicily, Amalfi and Puglia are currently at the top of my shooting bucket list!

Who is your dream client?

Couples who are kind, warm and madly, irrevocably in love. I find that I am naturally drawn to couples who truly see and appreciate the artistic value of photography and design, couples who are excited to see how I will see and capture their day through my lens. Working with couples’ who so graciously give me the space and trust to create are my favourites and, in turn, this is when I do my best work.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

I would encourage couples to look for a photographer whose work truly excites and inspires them, but also one who you connect with — someone who will enhance your day, make you feel comfortable and add an extra layer of warmth and love to your journey. 

Wedding photography is a collaboration between the couple and photographer so selecting a photographer who you connect with personally will ensure you feel at ease throughout your day and this will translate into beautiful imagery that truly feels like “you”. 

Building a sense of trust, familiarity and warmth with my couples allows me to capture imagery, which is not only aesthetically beautiful, but deeply personal so building that connection from the very first interaction is so important to me. To be seen is to be loved, and I want to ensure that a connection exists so I can truly see who my couples are and how they are together.
