OVERVIEW

Who doesn’t love a wedding? Or better still, photographing one (ME!??) Are you after a friendly and playful photographer who is passionate about capturing all the magic of your day and delivering not just stunning and emotive photography, but has the confidence and experience to put you at ease so you can both just truly enjoy your BEST.DAY.EVER!? Then I think you've found your guy!

Hey there, you must be here because someone’s getting hitched?! Well a big congrats to you BOTH! (Insert virtual hug here!??) And now you’re in that exciting but daunting stage of organising your big day and are probably feeling a little overwhelmed booking your dream team?! Well here’s where I have to vouch for myself and say “you’ve found your photographer!” But firstly, I encourage you to look through my galleries. If you like what you see then that’s amazing, that’s the first step! You need to feel confident that you’ve found a photographer who has a style you LOVE! Secondly, you are looking at taking on another relationship! Apart from all the emails, phone calls and last minute meetings, we’re going to be spending quite a lot of time together to document your day. I’ve got to be the Yin to your Yang! If we can tick both these boxes, then we’re unstoppable!! 

Ok, so some other key points to know;

    • I’m based in the Macedon Ranges/Daylesford area, and have been for quite some time so that’s to YOUR advantage if this is where you’re deciding to get hitched. I already know the best locations at the wedding venue you choose!
    • Yes, I’m a professional wedding photographer since 2013, so I KNOW weddings. I know what works, and what doesn’t. I’m here to guide you from day 1, kind of like your own personal wedding planner! I can even drop some names of the best wedding vendors I’ve worked alongside and hold in high esteem to help create your dream team!
    • Unless you’re a celebrity of some description, then I’m guessing you consider yourself “awkward” in front of the camera? Don’t worry, 95% of my couples say the same thing. But did you see any awkwardness in my galleries? Those couples absolutely rocked the camera and were blown away by how much fun it was. Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you do anything you don’t want to do. Which leads me to the next point…
    • If you do book me, then I’m going to offer you a complimentary engagement session, or what I like to coin an ‘ice-breaker’ sesh! Halfway into it I can guarantee that any awkwardness will soon disappear and you will be playing up to the camera! Let’s call it your dress rehearsal! And the bonus is you get some professional photos to keep, to maybe use on your wedding invites or that website your considering building!
    • Let’s consider your budget. I’m a firm believer that ‘you get what you pay for’, and I honestly believe that my price truly reflects my experience and service. I’m not the cheapest option but by no means the dearest either. But think about this; apart from the wedding dress, maybe some left over cake and your bouquets, your photographs are really the only tangible thing you get to take away from your big day - and you only get one shot at it??- so photography should be considered a worthy investment.
    • I'm for everyone

#loveislove

  • Totally up for travel, I’ll go to the moon and back for you, passport is at the ready!
  • Did I mention I have a drone?!
  • I’m passionate about my work, and creating your love story. I just absolutely LUUUUVVV shooting weddings! I give my all, I feed off the vibes and sometimes go a bit crazy but just know you’re going to get 110% of me from the day you both say YES Adam, we want you to be our wedding photographer to the day I deliver you both the MAGIC! ?

    FAQ

    I’ll go to the moon and back for you!! So pretty far, passport is at the ready!! For any booking that is outside 60km of 3446 where I’m driving to and from the venue there will be a travel charge. If the booking is for an interstate or international wedding then it will cost you the price of a return flight plus luggage costs. Depending on where you are having me, accomodation costs are negotiable.

    I’d go as far as saying my style is inspired by light, love and magic! I’m documenting the day in an unobtrusive manner which is balanced, true and authentic so all of the individual elements tell a story and ultimately evoke emotion again and again…

    I average between 6-16 weeks, depending on how busy my schedule is, to curate, edit and complete your magic! Your wait is also dependant on any extras such as albums or additional framed prints you have opted for before receiving them as these require your selections to complete. The sooner you do this the sooner you will receive your completed package.
    If there are extenuating reasons I can’t honour a 16 week completion, I will keep you informed to give you a reasonable delivery date.

    If I haven’t already, I definitely encourage getting together to discuss the finer details of your day, and preferably at the venue you are getting married at. I’ll chat about your timeline, locations for your portraits, when golden hour is and any other ideas you might have.

    YES! I get it. There are so many things to think about and most likely this is the first time you’ve ever had to! I can offer you unbiased advice, from the obvious to the little details you may have overlooked. After documenting over 100 weddings, I not only ‘know’ weddings but have a broad network of fellow suppliers I can highly recommend too. From the time you book with me, I’m here to support and help you both right up until the minute I leave you on your best.day.ever!!

    I totally get this….every second couple we work with make mention of this too. After all it’s not every day you have a photographer following you around! While it’s my job to capture all the magic that unfolds throughout the day, I know it’s also my job to make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that all those special moments happen naturally. This day is all about you two, and the love you have for each other. I’m there to document this and while I will at times gently guide you to take advantage of the best light and scene, I will be as unobtrusive as possible so you hardly even know I’m there!

    Absolutely!! No two weddings are the same or couple for that matter!! Let me know what your perfect package is and I’ll quote you accordingly.

    As I only shoot a limited number of weddings a year, as soon as you can! I receive many enquiries, usually months, sometimes even years in advance of the wedding date so the sooner you make contact with me the better your chances of booking yours truly! To start the booking process, contact me via the contact form and if the stars align for us, and I am available, then I will provide prices and packages for you to consider and start a conversation either online, over the phone or arrange a one on one wedding consult.

    From our very first consultation over the phone with Adam, to the planning phase leading up to our wedding Adam & Pamela were a treat to liaise with removing any hassle from the planning process with their online event planner. Having Adam & Pamela capture our special day was like having two friends join in on the fun! We highly recommend them both for your upcoming day, you won't be disappointed.

    Journey by Light provided excellent communication leading up to the wedding. Journey by Light were an absolute pleasure to have capturing a day so special to us. Adam was kind and respectful to everyone, and made his part of photographing the day fun and natural. Choosing Journey By Light to photograph our wedding day is a decision we are still so pleased we made.

    Wow!! we could not have asked for a better pair to be handling our wedding photos. From all the sneak peaks to now receiving the many more photos, we are happy with every single one of them and choosing one or two to put in a frame has been the hardest thing yet. Adam & Pam were so accommodating from the very beginning through many many emails as we were still unsure whether we wanted two photographers. But I am so glad we did. They were with us every step of our day. They are very professional and were always ready with their camera to capture those sweet little kisses, to the bear hugs from our mothers! They stayed hidden, which most people like and we didnt notice them at all during the day.. unless they were yelling at us to KISS!! we are so thrilled to have these photos to cherish forever - Thankyou so much Adam & Pam it was so much fun having you on our day with us.

    Adam was amazing from start to finish. When we first met with Adam we told him that we were after a very relaxed and chilled out vibe as we were eloping. On the day he definitely delivered everything we asked for and more. He is second to none in our books, we felt so comfortable in his presence and the sneak peek of the pictures have been everything we could have asked for and more.

    Adam was the most amazing photographer. He fitted in seamlessly and was just fantastic, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention the absolutely beautiful photos we have seen so far. We always knew Adam was the right choice for us, but he went far beyond our expectations. Cannot recommend highly enough.
