Newcastle Wedding Photographer|Jess & Luke’s Wedding at Noah’s on the Beach

Jess and Luke’s stunning wedding took place at Noah’s on the Beach, and it went off without a hitch!

I first met Jess when she was a bridesmaid at her friend Katie’s wedding, which I captured back in September 2023. From that, she reached out and booked me for her own big day. That feeling never gets old—knowing you made someone feel comfortable enough to choose you. Side note, always lovely to see my previous couples again.

Getting Ready with a View at Noah’s on the Beach

Jess and her bridesmaids got ready in the Harbour View Room at Noah’s on the beach, overlooking Newcastle’s coastline. Thanks to Chelsea Evans Makeup and Elissa from Empower Hair, they looked absolutely stunning.

Meanwhile, I headed downstairs to meet Luke, capturing moments with his family and groomsmen before the ceremony began.

A Newcastle Wedding Photographer’s Dream

Jess is a planner! Super organised, and it showed—this day ran seamlessly. During their engagement session, she asked if I’d be up for shooting at old buildings, and my answer was ‘absolutely!’ Anything old – I’m up for it!

After a beautiful ceremony inside Noah’s on the Beach, officiated by Nadine Leighton, Jess and Luke hired a bus to take us to their favourite locations. Despite rain on my way to Newcastle, the skies cleared just in time, giving us perfect light and ideal temperatures. One of our stops was under an amazing old tree near Noah’s, and from there, we walked back, gearing up for an unforgettable night.

An Unforgettable Celebration

With entertainment from the Bowtie DJ Guy, heartfelt speeches, and an incredible first dance (they learned it from YouTube—lifts and twirls included!), we all were super impressed!

We even squeezed in a photo dash! As I packed up for the night, the dance floor was in full swing. It was incredible to see Jess and Luke celebrating their hearts out with their favorite people at Noah’s on the beach.

Why I Love Being a Newcastle Wedding Photographer

Newcastle always delivers incredible photo locations—especially when paired with a couple who loves to laugh, be romantic, and embrace a little silliness. Add a fun bridal party, and that makes me one happy wedding photographer. 

What. A. Day.
