NEWCASTLE & HUNTER VALLEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE 2010

Your wedding is a day to celebrate. Have the time of your life and I will capture it all, including the moments you never even knew were happening. With over 500 weddings of experience and over 100 five-star reviews, you can trust that I have it covered. I shoot all weddings - any style, size, culture or gender.

Guests often ask if I'm a friend of the couple, because of how I put people at ease. I work quickly, with silent cameras. No repeating moments or fake laughs here. Based in Newcastle, but travel anywhere within Australia.

THE MOMENTS MAN

A nickname gifted to me by a celebrant - I'm always in the right place at the right time. With over 14 years of experience, weddings are my natural environment. 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 from the moment of capture. I hold insurance and bring plenty of backup cameras, lenses & lights. Every image is edited to the same standard as those you see here.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

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

TIMELESS TONES

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