— The photographer in me
I could tell you the cliché (but totally true) story of the girl with a disposable camera at school camp, or the teenager who always had her pink digital camera out when friends were over.
But if I’m honest, the moment that really led me here was my own wedding day. We had such a beautiful day full of love, laughter and joy. But parts of the experience felt more stressful than they needed to be, especially during photos.
I remember thinking, this day should feel like us relaxed and fun… not like a production, not stressed and rushed. I didn't know everything about photography at the time, but I knew I could bring people a better experience. One where they feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
That’s where it all began. I poured my heart into learning everything I could. Because yes, anyone can take pretty photos… but I want to give you more than that. I want to help you relive the feeling of the day not just how it looked.
I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. And I care (maybe to much) about preserving your day the way you want to remember it. Because how you feel while taking your photos is how you’ll feel when you look back at them, too. And that feeling? It deserves to be filled with love & joy.
My Style
Growing up with the old Friday night blockbuster trip, I have always been a big lover of cinema and the way it captures the emotions of the moments.
If you're looking for a Melbourne photographer who captures unposed, natural, and heartfelt moments with a moody, film-style finish, that understands your day is about Your wedding isn’t a performance or a photoshoot it’s a deeply personal, fleeting chapter. I photograph weddings in a candid, cinematic style, with some guidance and prompts while remembering this day is all about your love.
Capturing the heart of the day: the unscripted glances, teary vows, and champagne-soaked hugs.
Whether you're planning a romantic Melbourne wedding or a quiet forest elopement in the mountains, I’ll be there weaving together a gallery full of soul and story.
