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.

    “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.

Six Canberra Weddings I’ve photographed from the last 2 years:

01.

kat & dan.

Kat arrived at the rooftop first look in a pink tutu. The private vows that followed – just the two of them, above the Cork Forest – were the quiet centre of a day that had real personality throughout.

christian & georgia.

Georgia came down the interior staircase into the afternoon window light. The day ran through One Tree Hill, the sunset Jeep, a smoke machine first dance, and red spotlight car portraits that were some of the best of the year.

maddi & logan.

Intimate, close, and held together by the warmth that only a small guest list can produce. The rain came in and the countryside absorbed it. A choreographed first dance closed out a day that had the relaxed pace of a venue that’s been doing this for thirty years.

nick & kasey.

Nick was already crying before Kasey reached the top of the stairs. What followed included the James Turrell Skyspace, a custom car in the NGA car park, and a Hollywood spotlight first dance that the room wasn’t ready for.

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!

My Canberra wedding photography packages start at $5,200 for core coverage and go to $7,900 for complete coverage. That includes me for the full day, planning support, and your full edited gallery. No hidden fees. Travel within Canberra and one hour outside is included in all packages.

Most couples book 6–12 months ahead. Saturday dates in spring and autumn book fastest. I take on a maximum of 30 couples per year – so if you have a date in mind, it’s worth reaching out sooner rather than later to check availability.

Yes. Travel within Canberra and up to one hour outside – including Bungendore, Murrumbateman, the Snowy Mountains foothills, and similar – is included in all packages. For weddings further afield (Sydney, the South Coast, regional NSW or Victoria), travel costs apply. Get in touch and I’ll quote accordingly.

No. About 95% of the couples I work with say this. My approach is conversation and gentle movement rather than posing – you’ll quickly forget the camera is there. The pre-wedding engagement session (included with Complete Coverage) helps enormously with this.

Rain almost always makes for better photographs. I’ve never had a couple regret shooting in the rain. As part of our pre-wedding check-in we’ll go through any contingency locations, and I carry clear umbrellas for use on the day. In 100% of rain days, couples have ended up loving the results.

Yes – elopements and intimate weddings are a significant part of my work, both in Canberra and across Australia. See my Canberra elopement guide or Australia elopement photographer pages for more.

 Yes. I share full galleries from past couples during our initial call or on request. The couple stories on this site show highlights – full galleries give you a much better sense of what a complete day looks like.
