What do we do?

We specialise in capturing natural, candid and beautiful images in Weddings, Engagements, Eloppements and Portraits all over Sydney, Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands and NSW.

Our focus is not only on creating beautiful images, it’s also the experience before and after the photoshoot or wedding. We carry tremendous pride on making sure every couple and client gets the service they deserve, and that the delivery of the photography is supported.

We like to consult with couples and clients early, we don’t disappear after booking happens but rather we stay in regular communications to help support couples right up to the wedding day/photoshoot.

Every wedding or photoshoot will receive professional editing in very high resolution and online resolution, meaning all images are ready to take to the printers. The presentation of all images is through a beautiful online and personalised gallery, and available for 12 months post the wedding/shoot.

Please view all our portfolio images to the bottom of this page, our recent weddings and feel free to send an enquiry form with any questions and availability checks.

Wedding Portfolio - My Favourite Images

Morgan and Remy, Gunners Barracks, Sydney

Late on a rainy and cloudy Sydney day, in the little courtyard on the grounds of Gunners Barracks in Sydney, Morgan and Remy took their first dance. Un-deterred by the rain, they danced as if they were the only 2 in the whole city. I love how the rain created a silhouette around them, with family and friends applauding their beautiful dance. It was a very tricky photograph to capture!

Elise, Kiama

There’s something that screams sophistication to me in this image. The bride needed all 4 bridesmaids to walk anywhere all the day, combined with the split in the dress and the contrast of the green grass and white shoes, I had to frame this moment perfectly.

Ben and Rose, Milton Park, Southern Highlands

Milton Park Country House is a stunning venue, everywhere you look is luxury and as a wedding photographer it’s heaven. Outside the main hotel entrance is this great big Beech Tree that must be over 100-150 years old. It’s ridiculously beautiful. Putting these two inside was a no-brainer and I knew when I clicked the shutter i’ve just captured magic.

Jess and Scott, North Curly, Sydney

I love so many things in this image. It was the final portraits on Jess and Scott’s engagement photoshoot, we could see the stormclouds coming over the western horizon and the ominous thunder. “Just one more shot”, my favourite catch-line. At the top of north curl curl headland there’s a spot that has a magnificent view west. I set these two up and retreated into the bushes out of sight, within 60 seconds it started bucketing but it didn’t stop these two in their moment together, the storm wasn’t bothering them one bit. I had a rental camera lens at the time and you can see the water droplets on the right side which look like circles. Magic.

Wallyd and Ashley, Ottimo House, Sydney

There’s nothing better than watching the love of your life walk down the aisle, I remember it when it happened to me as clear as crystal. I absolutely buckled I felt so much happiness. To capture the look on Wallyd’s face when he saw his bride for the first time was priceless. Genuine, honest and natural emotion.

Mark and Linda, Sydney Opera House

Being in the Sydney Opera House is special enough but photographing a wedding there is really special, not to mention a private tour around the interior hallways and foyers to take portraits. I remember being shocked when the Opera House guide said we only had 20 minutes to take portraits… I could have spent hours photographing! the hallways, the angles, the architecture, the lights, all stunning. Here’s Mark and Linda having a private intimate moment together outside the Joan Sutherland theatre hall. I love this image because of the space these two held, and the city’s evening backdrop.

Much more to come on this wedding but this one particularly stood out as a favourite to me. As photographer's we're particularly interested in creating ways to add depth and variety to images. 60 seconds earlier we were capturing portraits in the arc
Awesome to shoot for John and Sarah at Jonah's recently, such and incredible venue and especially this time of year. Selfishly it's only a short drive from my house on the Northern Beaches too! Local knowledge helps so much. Congratulations J&S!
Part 2 of Will and Lydia's incredible Sydney Wedding, covering portraits and the reception at ZEST Mosman. So-much-fun! Portraits were taken at the awesome Paddington Reservoir and Walsh Bay. Both can be tricky for parking but very much worth it.
It's been a minute for Cass and Jono, I still remember this day so well. Incredible party, beautiful people. This was taken with a digital camera but I had a 6x6 medium format hasselblad also for film prints.. I think they've been archived, i should
Behind the scenes viewpoint on a harbour cruise before the reception, that's me on the right and my guy shooting video on the left. Photography itself is incredible, an extra element is adding videography to your memory capture. A beautiful highlight
Another 2-parter, there's just so many incredible moments to share from Lydia and Will's wedding recently! A breakdown of the days events; - 6am start - 2 prep locations - Traditional door games - First touch and exchange of gifts at Centennial Par
Super fun engagement shoot with these guys at Lavendar Bay on the weekend. The area can be a tricky spot with foot traffic to find empty spaces for portraits but we lucked out, probably because Saturday was ridiculously nice weather and everyone went

Really fun engagement shoot with Monique and Nick recently around Milsons and Blues Point. The very first question I ask couples is have they been in a photoshoot before? 9/10 times it's a hard-no. But after we setup 2-3, maybe 4 shots, they always
A nice slowdance moment under the sun from a recent wedding in Darling Harbour. I always encourage couples to practice their first dance during the portraits. They lock down their moves, we get the shots 📸 #sydneyphotographer
Hello 👋
Weddings are quieter in the winter months naturally (although I got married in the winter and loved it!), so we like stay sharp and on the tools with engagement photoshoots. Here's some of my favourites from Maris and Andy's photoshoot around the Roc
I've got so many photo's on hard drives and clouds but every now and then while reviewing photoshoots and learning, I stumble over a favourite, usually a single image. This was from an engagement photoshoot 7 or 8 years ago and for some reason i've r
