Wedding & Portrait Photography
Vibrant and authentic - images with heart!
One of the most trusted wedding photographers in the Hunter Valley and Central Coast
Hello!
I'm a Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Newcastle Wedding and Family Portrait Photographer.
My work has stood the test of time thanks to my use of natural light and a timeless editing style. I avoid trendy, fleeting filters, focusing instead on creating natural, enduring images that won't feel dated with time.
My specialty is working with couples who might feel a bit nervous about being in front of the camera. With my down-to-earth approach and laid-back vibe, I help ease those nerves, allowing for natural and authentic images that truly capture your love and personalities.
You don't need to know what to do in front of the camera. My job is to create a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere where you can have fun and let your natural self shine through in every shot.
and my little mate, Pluto
I'm Jodie
I’ve had the privilege of being part of hundreds of weddings since 2010! I love telling the unique stories of so many incredible couples, and I approach my work with great care and passion. I’ll capture your wedding day with my love of focusing on heartfelt moments, the fun and laughter, romance, and the true spirit of your wedding day.
By combining my use of light with the ability to make people feel at ease, I create natural and authentic images, allowing your personalities to shine through. The result is a stunning gallery with sharp, true-to-life colours and vivid imagery.
I'm for couples who want stunning photos without sacrificing precious time with their guests. With years of experience, I capture the moments efficiently, so you can spend more time enjoying your day.
When people are blissfully unaware is when I capture the most heartfelt images.
I like to bring a positive and fun vibe whilst seamlessly blending in with the atmosphere as if I were another one of your guests.
I love photographing families in moments of interaction, showcasing their bonds and allowing their personalities to shine through.
Immediate and extended families.
Couples - maternity, engagement or proposals.
Newborns - only included with family sessions as my sessions are outdoors. Newborns to be held by a family member.
I have a few favourite locations I love to shoot family sessions, however I'm always on the lookout for new spots. It can also happen at your own home. Just like these beautiful kids here - captured on their own property with pets included.
Sessions can be from 20 minutes to an hour. I let young children guide it. All good images from the session are edited and delivered.

Prints and products can be purchased through your gallery.

An elopement is a type of wedding where the couple gets married in a very intimate setting, typically without a large audience. Traditionally, elopements were seen as secretive, with just the couple (and maybe a witness or two), but modern elopements are often still intimate but can include a professional photographer, officiants, a destination or wedding venue.
A micro wedding is a smaller, more intimate version of a traditional wedding. Small but still a full wedding experience with a limited guest list, incorporating elements like catering, entertainment, and a more personalised atmosphere.
