NEWCASTLE & HUNTER VALLEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE 2010

Have the time of your life and I will capture it all, including moments you never knew were happening. With 520+ weddings of experience and 110+ five-star reviews, trust that I have it covered. I love photographing all weddings - any style, size, culture or gender.

Enjoy a distraction-free day as I work in the background with silent cameras. Guests often ask how I know the couple, because of how I put people at ease. I chase unprompted images that were never on the runsheet, but still bring out your best for album-worthy couple portraits. I'm based in Newcastle, NSW and travel throughout Australia.

THE MOMENTS MAN

I'm always in the right place at the right time. With over 14 years experience, I blend in and capture the moments that others miss.

A TRUE PROFESSIONAL

I educate myself on every technicality and spend on the best equipment. Images are backed up securely in multiple locations. I carry insurance and more backup gear than I could need.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Time is a wedding's most valuable currency, so I use every minute. I don't take breaks or film for my socials. I dry your bouquet, pin the boutonnieres, chauffeur you around, fetch a drink and anything else that needs doing. My couples always get more than they pay for.

TIMELESS TONES

My edits are clean & consistent, no dated blur or crooked horizons here. Trends come and go, but natural colours remain gorgeous. I have images in my portfolio from 2012, which blend seamlessly with those from today.
