Welcome
If you’re searching for a Hunter Valley, Central Coast, or Newcastle wedding photographer who captures genuine connection and effortless beauty, you’re in the right place.
Wedding photography experience is everything when it comes to capturing real moments beautifully and seamlessly. Weddings move quickly, with no second chances. An experienced photographer knows how to anticipate moments before they unfold, adapt to shifting light, and guide couples in a way that feels natural and effortless. Balancing technical skill with genuine emotion is what transforms a gallery from simply beautiful images into a heartfelt story and one that feels uniquely yours.
I bring positive vibes and an easy-going approach to every wedding, blending into the fun while using years of experience to capture it all naturally. Having photographed hundreds of weddings and being a bride myself, I know how important it is for you to enjoy your day, not feel like you’re in a photoshoot.
I’ll offer gentle guidance when needed, but mostly I work quietly in the background, capturing real moments as they unfold. My style is clean, sharp and timeless, with beautiful colours, luminous skin tones, and a mix of colour and black-and-white images that feel natural and true to life.
I have packages starting at two hours of coverage up to the full day.
The past couple of years have highlighted a shift in wedding trends, with couples increasingly choosing smaller, more intimate style weddings. For this reason I offer packages that start at as little as two hours through to packages that cover pre wedding preparations until the last formality of the reception.
On enquiry, I encourage you to tell me a little about your wedding plans and I can offer you a tailored quote if you need.
I’ve teamed up with Bella Taylor of Bella Photo Art – Photo & Film to offer a seamless photo and video package. With nearly 30 years of combined wedding experience, we share the same love for natural light, true colours, and genuine moments. This means your photos and video will feel beautifully consistent from start to finish.
Be quick! This is subject to both of our availability.
Completely optional, but such a wonderful bonus. These sessions let us get to know each other, helping you feel relaxed and comfortable so your images feel natural and personal — and so I feel like a friend when I arrive on your wedding day.
When & Where: Weekday afternoons at a few favourite 2261 locations.
What to Wear: Keep it simple — neutral tones work beautifully, with a pop of colour if you like.
You’ll Receive: A full gallery of gorgeous images to download and share.
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll email you a single link with your invoice, terms and conditions, and wedding questionnaire.
A $400 deposit secures your date. For photo/video packages, you’ll receive two invoices, one from me and one from Bella, with a $200 video deposit.
Please take a moment to read the terms and reach out if you have any questions.

This guide outlines what a full day of wedding photography includes. For six-hour coverage, photography typically begins around 30 minutes before the ceremony at the ceremony location and usually excludes getting ready
This time line shows approximately 7.5 hours shooting, however no driving has been incorporated. My full day is up to 9 hours allowing time to drive to various locations throughout the day.
My full day of photography enables enough time for dancing photos after the first dance.
My hope is I've given you some ideas or tips on creating a special day.
The main thing is, enjoy it! Weddings can be expensive, if something doesn't go quite right - let me tell you - no one notices!
If it rains, we'll deal with it. Rain shots are pretty.
Just have an awesome time.
Hopefully I'm lucky enough to capture it!
If I’m going to recommend one thing, it’s an unplugged ceremony (pardon the pun!). This simply means asking guests to put their phones away during the ceremony.
Why? Phones can create a disconnect. Imagine walking down the aisle making eye contact with your guests, not screens.
If you’ve asked someone to film the ceremony, that’s absolutely fine. As long as we communicate and work together, we can capture it beautifully without getting in each other’s way.
Every couple envisions their day differently. Waiting to see each other at the aisle is a beautiful, meaningful moment, while a private first look can help ease nerves and allow for a few relaxed photos together beforehand. This can also reduce photo time later so you can enjoy your guests sooner.
My biggest tip? You do you — there are no rules, only options to make your day feel right for you.
