What’s included with every package
Every couple gets the same foundation, regardless of which package they choose.
01.
Full-day coverage by James.
Just me – no second shooters you’ve never met. I’m with you from the moment you’re getting ready through to the last dance, capturing everything as it unfolds.
02.
Timeline design & planning support.
I help you build a realistic wedding day timeline well before the day arrives. Knowing when the light hits, how long portraits actually take, and where the gaps are – that’s part of what you’re booking.
03.
Location guidance & venue knowledge.
I’ve photographed weddings at venues across Canberra – from Gorman Arts Centre to Gold Creek Station to the Boathouse. I’ll recommend the best spots at your venue and suggest portrait locations that suit your style.
04.
High-res edited gallery, film-inspired colour.
Every image is edited individually with a warm, cinematic grade built to last decades. Your full gallery (300–500 images) arrives within 6 weeks, with a 48-hour sneak peek so you’re not waiting long.
05.
Travel included within Canberra + 1 hour.
Travel within Canberra and up to one hour outside – including Bungendore, Murrumbateman, and the Snowy Mountains foothills – is included in every package. No hidden travel fees.
06.
Unlimited pre-wedding access & support.
You can reach me any time in the lead-up with questions – venues, weather backup plans, what to wear, how to structure the day. I’m available throughout, not just on the day itself.

To make your dream wedding a reality.
“friendly, cool and so down to earth”
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.

You’re getting me, James, behind the camera and at the editing desk for every wedding here – nearly a decade of experience. My eye, my editing, start to finish.
No hidden fees, no surprise invoices later on. I shoot weddings of all sizes, typically up to around 150 guests. Every price here already has GST in it.

“We had the best time with James on our wedding day! He made us feel so comfortable being in front of the lens where we could just relax and enjoy our day. All the photos are so beautiful and told the story of our wedding day perfectly, it felt like a movie. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! If you’re looking for a photographer for your special day, look no further!”
– Christian & Georgia Denton — Gold Creek Station, Canberra
