Congratulations!
If you’re here, it means you are getting married, and are looking for a wedding photographer to capture your day!! How exciting!
Finding a wedding photographer that connects with you, shares the same energy as you and cares enough about your big day just as much as you do can be hard to find. There’s a lot of searching, questions being asked and looking through portfolios to ensure their style resonates with you.
That’s where I can help.
In the realm of elopements and weddings, I adhere to a carefully curated calendar, ensuring that I can dedicate the time and attention that each unique couple deserves. My approach is deeply personalised. I’m here for the genuine connections, the love and the care that’s involved in making your big day one you will never forget.
So, you're engaged...what's next?
Begin by exploring my Wedding Packages page, where you’ll find a curated selection of coverage options designed to suit a range of wedding days.
From there, I invite you to get in touch to check my availability and discuss your plans. Together, we’ll refine the best collection for you — ensuring your coverage reflects the pace, atmosphere, and moments that matter most.
Once your date is confirmed, you’ll receive a private link to my booking portal, where you can secure your wedding with a signed agreement, completed questionnaire, and retainer. This allows me to begin thoughtfully preparing for your day, and to understand you both on a more personal level.
Depending on your chosen collection, we’ll then arrange your complimentary engagement session* — a relaxed and meaningful experience that allows you to become comfortable in front of the camera while creating beautiful imagery ahead of your wedding. Clients who select the Diamond Collection may also choose a boudoir session as an alternative.
In the months leading up to your wedding, we’ll meet to carefully review your timeline, vision, and every considered detail. My role extends beyond photography — I’m here to ensure your day flows effortlessly, while preserving it with care, intention, and artistry.
And then, your wedding day arrives. You step into one of the most meaningful days of your life, and I am there to document it with refinement, honesty, and quiet presence — creating imagery that will endure for generations.
You get married to your favourite person and I capture one of the best days of your life!
*Complimentary engagement or boudoir sessions are included within the Diamond Collection. They may also be added to other collections as an additional offering.
How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?
I usually book 9-12months in advance, sometimes longer.
I always encourage clients to get in touch when they are newly engaged to ensure they don’t miss out on their preferred wedding date.
What makes you stand out from all of the other photographers?
I care. I care about you and your big day, and always provide help and guidance where and when I can. I have a list of vendors that I recommend to help provide assistance as I know how overwhelming planning a wedding can be.
I fit into your wedding day without fuss, ensuring that your day goes exactly how you imagined it.
I edit every single image by hand, and a little bit of my heart goes into every gallery I produce.
Can we meet prior to the wedding day?
YES! I would love to meet you prior to the wedding day. All my packages come with at least 1 phone call or zoom meeting prior to the day. This helps break the ice, and we get to know each other a little better.
Do you have venues that you recommend we use?
As I have been a family photographer for many years now, I have made many valuable contacts throughout the Brisbane and Ipswich areas. After you book in, I can recommend venues to you that perhaps you may not know about that are just stunning, but hidden little gems.
Do you do engagement shoots?
As part of the Diamond Package, you can opt to have a complimentary engagement shoot instead of the wedding boudoir/couples boudoir shoot if that is more your style.
All other packages do not have an engagement shoot included, however can add one on as an extra if you wish.
What camera gear do you use?
I use only the best Canon DSLR equipment. That being a Canon 5D Mark IV, Godox flash, high megapixel SD Cards, 24-70mm lens, 70-200 lens and 85mm lens plus more!
Say HELLO! Let's create magic on your Wedding Day!
