Simmons Memorable Moments

Hey, I’m Jamie—your nerdy third wheel for the best day of your life.

If the idea of stiff poses, awkward direction, and turning your wedding into a full-blown photoshoot makes you cringe… you’re in the right place. Your wedding isn’t a production—it’s a day with your favourite people, and it deserves to be lived in, not staged.

That’s where I come in. As a husband-and-wife team, we blend in like mates, not vendors—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. The real laughs, the quiet moments, the chaos, the connection… all the good stuff. We’ll step in when it matters (family photos and those frame-worthy shots), but the rest of the time? You just enjoy your day—we’ve got the memories covered.

Yeah, I’m not your typical wedding photographer—and honestly, that’s exactly why couples connect with me. I’m a chef by trade and spent 20 years in the chaos of kitchens before ever picking up a camera professionally. Most of my downtime was spent watching sci-fi, gaming, or avoiding being the centre of attention entirely. So if you’re awkward in front of a camera or worried your wedding will feel too staged—I get it.

Together, we built this business around the kind of experience we wished more couples had—relaxed, genuine, and centred around real connection. We’re not here to turn your wedding into a production. We’re here to blend in like mates, keep things calm when needed, have a laugh along the way, and capture your day as it actually felt. The loud moments, the quiet ones, the chaos, the people, and all the in-between bits you didn’t even realise mattered until years later. Still nerdy, still a little rough around the edges—but now I get to tell honest love stories for couples who’d rather live their wedding day than perform for it.

From the moment you enquire, our focus is simple: make this easy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. We’ll help guide you through timelines, answer the random questions, calm the nerves when needed, and make sure you never feel awkward in front of the camera. Most couples tell us they’re worried about posing or “not knowing what to do”—but honestly, that’s our job, not yours. We use natural prompts and movement so you can focus on each other while we capture the real connection underneath it all.

On the wedding day itself, we blend in like mates with cameras. We’re hands-off for most of the day because the best moments happen when you’re actually living them. The hugs from your nan, your mates losing it on the dancefloor, the quiet hand squeeze before the ceremony, the way your partner looks at you when no one else notices—that’s the stuff that matters. We’ll step in when needed for family photos and those mantle-worthy portraits, but the rest of the time, we’re there to document the atmosphere, emotion, and story exactly as it felt.

And when it’s all over? You’ll walk away with more than just pretty photos and cinematic films. You’ll have memories that feel honest. Warm. Nostalgic. A reminder of not just what your wedding looked like, but what it meant. Because years from now, when life changes and grows around you, these are the moments that bring you right back to where it all began.

Based in Townsville, North Queensland, but always keen to travel wherever your story takes you (especially if there’s cake involved).

About

Meeting my wife completely changed the direction of my life, but becoming a father changed the way I see memories altogether. It made me realise how important the tiny moments really are—the quiet cuddles, messy chaos, subtle glances, and all the little in-between memories that end up meaning everything later on. Still a bit nerdy, still a bit rough around the edges—but now I get to show up, have a laugh, and tell stories that matter.
