Hey, I’m James! Your Cinematic Wedding Photographer!

I’ve been capturing couples doing their thing and getting hitched since 2017, and have loved every minute of it.

For me, creating a fun and easy, yet cinematic and artistic experience comes paramount for the awesome couples I work with.

I bring along with me over 8 years of experience in creating fantastic and memorable images for my couples to relive years after the confetti has fallen.

This means that when it comes to having curated locations, professional guidance, and award winning photography which will bring back the feelings from the day, I’ve got your sorted and covered.

MORE ABOUT ME

what unique skills I’ll bring to your wedding

  • I’VE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS SINCE 2017, AND FULL TIME SINCE 2018

    After years in the game, I’ve seen it all – torrential rain, power outages, emotional meltdowns, and everything in between. I stay calm when the day gets messy, help couples pivot when things shift, and know exactly when to step in or step back. You’re not just getting someone to take photos – you’re getting someone who can help you stay grounded in the moment, no matter what unfolds.
  • I’VE PHOTOGRAPHED IN WILD LOCATIONS ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND BEYOND

    From coastal cliffs to misty forests, arid deserts to city rooftops – I’ve worked in just about every kind of light and landscape. That means I know how to adapt fast, use what’s around me, and make the most of any setting. Whether we’re chasing light in the Snowies or dodging storms in the Northern Territory, I’ve got the experience to make it work.

  • I ONLY TAKE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF COUPLES PER YEAR

    I’m not here to stack my calendar and burn out. I work with a maximum of 30 couples per year so I can give every story the attention it deserves. That means faster responses, more thoughtful planning help, and deeper emotional investment. You’re never just “another wedding” to me – I want to create something that actually matters to both of us.

  • I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN NATURE CONSERVATION – AND AN EYE FOR CINEMATIC BEAUTY

    Before photography, I worked in conservation, so nature isn’t just a pretty backdrop to me – it’s something I deeply respect and understand. I’m drawn to environments that hold emotional weight, and I use natural light and texture to bring a cinematic, grounded feel to every gallery. I’m also obsessed with visual storytelling and take inspiration from cinema and mood-driven narrative photography. Every frame is crafted like it belongs in a film – because your story deserves nothing less.

James is also the loveliest person ever.
If I’m honest, the number one thing that made me sure I was booking the right photographer was when I had a phone call with him. I instantly knew he was 100% my vibe – friendly, cool and so down to earth.
Neither my partner or I are normally that confident in front of the camera, but with James we were both really feeling ourselves and had a blast!
Our guests adored him. Even the vendors mentioned how respectful, kind and encouraging he was.

adventure engagement session / pre-wedding session

  • Curated Ceremony & Portrait Location Guidance

    Part of the fun is that I’ll hand-pick spots based on your tastes – whether that’s a quiet lakeside grove, a windswept ridge, or a colourful urban laneway. If you’ve got your heart set on somewhere farther afield, I’m happy to travel up to one hour outside Canberra.

  • Natural Connection & Easy Guidance

    No stiff poses or scripted smiles – just gentle prompts and friendly conversation to let your real connection shine. You’ll wander, laugh and discover how effortless it is to be yourselves in front of the camera.

  • Cinematic Keepsake Gallery & Fine-Art Prints

    You’ll receive around 30 fully edited, high-resolution images crafted with a cinematic touch. If you’d like to display your favourites, I offer museum-quality fine-art printing – an elegant way to immortalise your photos and memories at home.

TIMELINE DESIGN & CREATIVE PLANNING SUPPORT

  • Curated Ceremony & Portrait Location Guidance

    Not all venues are created equal – and not every photo-worthy spot is obvious. I’ll help you identify locations around your venue or town that feel meaningful, cinematic, and suited to how you two move through the day. Whether it’s a golden-hour field, a moody bar, or a quiet laneway for portraits, I’ll suggest spots that suit your aesthetic and energy – not just what looks good on Instagram.

  • Timeline Support That Respects How You Want to Feel

    I’ll help you build a wedding timeline that prioritises ease, emotion, and good lighting – not chaos. We’ll find the moments to slow down and breathe, avoid crowd stress or harsh sun, and make sure you get the space you need to enjoy the day without being micromanaged. This is about letting the story unfold naturally, while gently shaping the flow so it feels grounded, not rushed.

  • Styling & Visual Advice for a Cohesive Gallery

    If you want support with colour palettes, outfits, or helping your details tie in with the visual tone you love – I’m here for that too. Whether it’s selecting the right fabric textures, keeping florals natural and expressive, or picking a jacket that complements your partner’s outfit in golden hour light, I’ll offer feedback and suggestions so your gallery feels intentionally styled without ever feeling overworked.

Your Personal Wedding Storytelling Consultant

  • Unlimited Access for Ideas, Planning, and Real Talk

    From the moment you book, I’m in your corner. You’ll have open access to chat about anything wedding-related – from logistics to nerves to photography ideas. Need help deciding between a sunset ceremony or twilight party lighting? Want to ask if a sparkler exit will actually feel good or just look cool? I’ve got you.

  • Vetted Recommendations Without the Overwhelm

    Over the years, I’ve built connections with down-to-earth vendors I actually trust – florists, celebrants, stylists, musicians, and more. If you’re looking for low-key legends who’ll match your vibe, I’ll happily point you in the right direction without the endless scroll.

  • Calm Confidence on the Day

    It’s your wedding – but it’s also your one chance to be in the day. My job is to keep things feeling relaxed and anchored while still getting the shots that matter. I’m tuned in to the energy of the room, the relationships you care about, and the rhythm of the moment. You can trust I’ll move gently, read the room, and always be on the lookout for the kind of moments that hit hardest later.

Award-Winning, Artistic Wedding Photography

  • Candid, Cinematic Storytelling

    I’m drawn to movement, mood, and the kind of body language that says everything without words. From laughter through tears to late-night dancing, I’ll capture what the day really felt like, not just what it looked like.

  • Film-Inspired, True-to-Memory Editing

    Your photos will be edited with earthy, cinematic tones that lean into timelessness rather than trends. Think warm skin tones, soft highlights, deep shadows — the kind of colour that makes a moment feel like a memory already.

  • Everything Delivered, No Surprises

    You’ll receive all your high-resolution, edited images in a beautifully curated online gallery – ready to download, print, and share however you want.
    And because I know how exciting those first few days after the wedding are, I also send through a handful of 48-hour sneak peeks – a taste of what’s to come, ready to relive and share almost immediately.

  • Drone Coverage (Where Permitted)

    When conditions allow and the location makes sense, I include aerial coverage using my drone — to give you wide, sweeping visuals of your setting that ground your story in place. Whether it’s the dramatic coastline, forest canopies, or mountain shadows, drone imagery adds that extra dimension of awe.

  • Haze & Pro Lighting for First Dances

    For couples who want their first dance or reception shots to feel extra cinematic, I bring a full professional lighting setup – including atmospheric haze to create that ethereal, light-beam-through-the-fog vibe. It’s ideal for adding depth, mood, and a real “wow” factor to your party photos without making it feel like a photoshoot.

  • Optional Fine Art Albums

    If you’d like to turn your gallery into something physical and lasting, I offer custom-designed heirloom albums. After I deliver your gallery, I design a draft using your actual images first — so you can see your day in print before deciding anything.

To make your dream wedding a reality.

canberra wedding packages.

Wherever you’re looking to get married in Canberra, you’ll find stunning venues adorned with incredible landscapes, intimate atmospheres, and unique character. I’m here to document your wedding beautifully, whether it’s at an elegant vineyard, a rustic farm, or a scenic garden venue.

what’s included

  • 6+ HOURS OF ARTISTIC, FUN AND RELAXED STORY TELLING COVERAGE BY JAMES

    A full set of polished, beautiful photos from your day, curated to give you the story of your experience. Delivered in a stunning secure online gallery, for easy downloading and sharing.
  • THE WHO SHOT THE PHOTOGRAPHER EXPERIENCE:

From the first conversation, I’ll help shape a timeline that gives you room to breathe – not rush. We’ll talk through what matters most to you, how to build flow into the day, and how to make light, emotion, and energy work in your favour. It’s about making the day feel good, not just look good.

I’m with you in the lead-up, not just on the day. That means chatting through ideas, helping you feel grounded when things get chaotic, and making sure the day actually reflects who you are – not just what a wedding “should” be. I’ll help with anything from location ideas to vendor chats to just being someone who gets it when you need to bounce things off a calm voice.

When I photograph a wedding, I’m always paying attention to the feeling of it – the way you laugh, the way your mates interact, the little stuff in-between that you’ll want to remember. My editing is filmic and earthy, built to reflect memory and emotion more than perfection. I’ve been lucky enough to receive industry awards for this work, but honestly, what matters most to me is that your gallery feels real – not curated. You’ll get high-resolution images delivered in a beautiful gallery, ready to download and share. And if you want to create a fine art album from it, I’ll help you design something meaningful and lasting when the time is right.

frequently
asked
questions.
your questions answered by me.

You’re naturally going to have a few questions about the whole process. I’m here to give you an answer to anything you’re wondering about.

i’m ready, lets get this booked!

The best way to understand what may suit you best would be to jump on a phone call with me, so I can get an excellent understanding of what your perfect day would look like. I want to find what package suits you best, and you can always add more time later down the line when we come to timeline planning too.

200% yes, yes, and yes again! I’d say roughly 95% of couples i work with say something along the lines of “we feel awkward in front of the camera”, or “we don’t like having our photo taken”.

You have nothing to worry about; my whole approach is to create a comfortable and fun environment, where you’ll be focusing on each other rather than a camera in your face.

Yes, children and doggos are most welcome! They are family, after all! I curate your locations and day to ensure that everything will be suitable for whomever you’d love to bring.

As part of the check in I have with you on your big day, we go through what your plan B will be in case it rains. In 95% of circumstances, a simple see through umbrella (which I supply) will sort you both out just fine, but if more work is required, I’ll scout out other locations which would be suitable for you both!

However, in 100% of circumstances where it rains, couples always have a blast, so don’t let the rain get you down!

Nope. Whilst I understand that some weddings can be short and sweet, I believe that offering you a more complete service to honour your story is what I’m best at. This is why my minimum coverage is 2 hours.

I can organise a second shooter to assist me on the day, at an additional charge to yourselves.

However in my honest opinion and experience, a second shooter is only needed in a handful of unique situations at a wedding, such as the two partners getting ready at different sides of a city, and capturing the guests whilst the couple are off for photos.

Unfortunately not. I aim to provide the best possible service and story for the couples I work with, capturing a good balance of candid imagery and guests having a blast. Because of this, my maximum number of people at a wedding I’d capture is 130.

Awesome questions! I truly believe, first that the most important thing about the day you get married, is that it is a day that authentically reflects you. This means that you’re getting the experience to start your marriage off that is authentically ‘you’.

Elopements are really wonderful for couples who don’t gel with the pressures sometimes faced with traditional weddings. If you’d like to read more, take a look at this page for more information.

There is no wrong or right way to get married, so long as you have the day that you truly want.
