OVERVIEW

Just natural, unobtrusive, candid and beautiful photos.

Hi! My name is Will. I've been photographing weddings full time for 3 years. I’m a little bit different from other wedding photographers. I don't believe in posed photos, I like to capture candid fun and real moments, which reflect your best side and the natural vibe of the day. So for me the most important thing is making sure you and your guests are comfortable and are having an amazing time. The rest is just unobtrusively capturing that joy. 

I’m not great in front of a camera and I guess you need to treat people how you’d want to be treated. So I treat my couples like old friends and their families like my own. I take a step back and allow you to have an amazing time with your friends and family. I’m a fly on the wall, a guest with a camera, and a friend in the background creating an unobtrusive documentation of your wedding.

Every wedding is different so I like to create coverage packages suited to your wishes. I personally photograph the whole day, so depending on the venue, run sheet, timings and your plans, let’s work out a coverage solution that perfectly suits you. If you've just dropped a knee or screamed a giant 'YES!' I'd love to hear about your plans.

About

My name is Will. I've been photographing weddings full time for 3 years. I'm a Melbourne boy who now lives in North Bondi. I shot my very first wedding way back in 2011 in St Tropez, whilst living in France. I did it as a wedding present to a friend. It was my way of giving them a unique gift which they'd cherish forever. They still have a print above their bed. I now travel Internationally and Australia-wide capturing weddings & hanging out with amazing couples and their favourite people.

December 2018

Will was the most amazing photographer we could have wished for. He knew exactly what we were looking for and he captured it perfectly. Will is a great guy and he is very easy going which really helped our day go amazingly well. We didn’t want too many ‘posy’ pictures we wanted more natural ones and Will got exactly what we wanted. The day before our wedding Will rang my wife to make sure she was doing ok as the weather wasn’t looking great for our big day. He assured her that he could still get amazing photos regardless of the weather which I thought was a really nice touch. In the end the weather was mainly great on the day but we had some changes during the day and these actually helped Will to get some really great photos. Will is a great guy and and an amazing photographer and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Will

Will is based in Sydney but he is happy to travel to Melbourne. He was really lovely. We are very happy with our photographs. He was super chilled out and got along with the bridal party very naturally.

do i specifically have to tell my photographer what shots i want, or should i trust them

ive read heaps of forums with brides saying their photographer missed the 'dress hanging up shot' etc. to avoid this happening to me, should i be making a list of shots i want for my photographer?

This Day Forward

In the search for the right photographer, look at their larger body of work and align their aesthetic with yours. What ever you do, don’t ask a photographer to replicate another photographers work. Look for the types of photos you'd like captured on your day. Details, flowers, portraits, couple photos, family snaps, candid fun and the vibe of the day. A good photographer will naturally capture the 'essence' of your wedding. If you have specific things / shots you'd like communicate that with them and then trust that they will do their job.
