Beautiful, naturally lit photography by a wedding/fashion photographer. I love candid moments and real smiles :)
I have always been creative. Whether it be writing, painting or drawing, I remember loving getting my hands dirty and trying to create whatever image had burst into my mind that day.
At the age of fifteen I discovered photography, and fell in love instantly. From there, I haven't stopped. I photograph fashion, weddings, couples and families. I love my job and always strive to better myself and my work. I have a Bachelor of Arts and Visual Arts from Monash University and started my own business in 2010.
Weddings are beautiful. No matter who it is with, there is a lovely energy to them - happiness! The opportunity to be a part of your day humbles me, and I never forget what an honour it is.
I try to be as discreet as possible during the ceremony and reception - prefering a candid, photojournalistic approach.
During the photo shoot - my aim is to show the very real, beautiful relationship you and your partner share. I love couples that love to laugh and have fun!
Please do not hesitate to contact me. Tell me your story and let's create some beautiful pictures together!

Well technically you don't have to do anything on your day. It is your day. You don't have to wear white, you don't have to have a cake, you don't need to have a first dance, you can have hundreds or no one at your wedding - you can ultimately do whatever you like. If capturing the day isn't important to you, then ultimately that's your decision. I know some people who just like their memories.
I know for me photographs are vital, but perhaps that's because I am a photographer and therefore a little biased! If its a question of whether you get your friend or a professional to photograph it then definitely a professional. I know a lot of people who have made this mistake and they are left with blurry, crappy photos with nothing to put up on their wall. If capturing the day is important in some aspect then definitely hire a professional and REALLY capture it. All that time and effort and money you put into the day, you might as well have a professional capture it properly, so in twenty years time you still have amazing photographs to look back on and remember what a wonderful time you had :)
