you’re wanting to marry your best friend.
i’m here to help capture your story.

You’re here because you want to have an intimate experience focused on you both, without the pressure and rule book of a normal wedding.

You’ve got nothing to worry about, and I’m psyched!

hey there!
i’m james!

your wedding photographer, and biggest cheerleader.

It won’t surprise you, but I’m a huge adventure and nature nerd, so much so that I spent 6 months living in the jungles of Madagascar back in 2010!

Because of that, more times than not, I’ll take any excuse to get into nature and explore what is out there. I’ve always found myself constantly surprised by how many wonderful sights there are out there. I live a life of creativity and curiosity and believe in challenging the status quo.

I’m into board games, camping, a nice whisky after a good hike, and bouldering! Give me street food over 5-star dining any day! I find myself constantly jumping through bushes, and running up mountains to get that perfect shot for my couples.

i believe how you feel is the most important thing.
so you can look back and re-live your day.

Your wedding day should be an unforgettable story – one you live fully, knowing the moments most precious to you are being captured with cinematic artistry. I combine rock-solid reliability with an empathetic, unobtrusive style so you can stay present, feel safe, and relive every emotion in stunning detail.

From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, I’ve got your back. I’ll guide you gently – no awkward posing or rushed timelines – so you forget the camera is even there. Then, you’ll receive a beautifully edited collection of images that flow like a film: from the quiet anticipation of your morning prep to the joy-filled energy of your last dance.

You deserve to have a day where:

  • FEELS EFFORTLESSLY SECURE WITH CLEAR COMMUNICATION AND TOTAL PROFESSIONALISM.
  • UNFOLDS LIKE A CINEMATIC FILM WITH GENUINE EMOTION AND SWEEPING VISUALS.
  • KEEPS YOU CALM AND PRESENT THROUGH RELAXED GUIDANCE – NO STIFF POSES.

I’m here to bring your vision to life, and I truly believe in supporting you to have the day you want.

Sure, my job title is photographer

But I’m going to do so much more than just that for you.

From the second we start chatting, I’ll listen to what your dream day should be like, and help you craft that dream and get there, from deep dives on locations you’ve drempt about, to finding the perfect vendors to make it all happen.

You won’t have to lose nights worth of sleep wondering how the timing of the day should go, or what to do if the weather turns. I’ll have your backs, with helpful guides, regular check ins, and a heap of useful infromation from over 7 years of wedding experience.

how the process works.
Step by step how the process works.

01.

let’s pick and date and location.

You may have your venue sorted out, or perhaps you are still looking for ideas. You may also have a date in mind or be flexible. I’ll be here to help research anything you’d need, and then to find a date which works, and get you locked in!


02.

i assist you in planning your day.

You deserve to have someone behind you who will be cheering you on however you want to say your vows and share your love. I’ll be here to support you however you want to start your marriage.


03.

i’ll help you with recommended local vendors.

If you’re still looking to add more people to the A Team, then I’ll be more than happy to recommend industry leaders and some of the best people in the biz. You let me know what you need, and I’ll send over some solid recommendations.


04.

i’ll create a timeline for you day.

Working out the best time for lighting, your ceremony, couples photos, and even a first look can be a bit overwhelming. This is where I’ll come in and make everything a breeze. Having helped over 300 couples, I can provide the best recommendations for what may suit you best.


05.

give you a ‘best friend’ experience on your day.

I believe that the day you get married should be an authentic adventure where you can be yourselves. I’m not the sort of photographer to yell ‘KISS!’ or ‘LOOK LIKE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER!’.
Instead, I prefer gentle prompts and a relaxed approach to really bringing out the raw emotions in your both. No posing experience necessary.


06.

you’ll receive your gorgeous photos

The images and art I’ll create from your wedding will tell the story of who you are and what went down on the day. Landscapes, emotions, laughs, and the real you is what I’m interested in. So, when you look back in 20 years, you’ll remember how you felt on the day, rather than someone who barked orders at you to fake PDA which wasn’t even you.


07.

order your albums and prints.

Turning your house into a home with stunning and personalised art is one of the most rewarding ways to celebrate your story. I specialise in creating some of the very best museum-grade art pieces for you. I can even show you to scale how certain images would look in your home, so you’d be able to have complete confidence in how your final art pieces would look in your home.

“i cried watching one of his videos”

When my fiance and I got engaged, we didn’t know the first thing about hiring a photographer. Neither of us feel particularly comfortable getting our photos taken, so it was a little daunting. When we came across James’ page (recommended by our wedding venue – Poacher’s Pantry) we were blown away by his work (I actually cried when watching one of his videos). We loved how candid his work is, and how it’s natural, with a strong focus on the environment. We knew he’d be perfect for us. When we spoke with James on the phone, then later met him in person, this was further confirmed for us as we felt comfortable straight away.

On the day itself, James somehow achieved the magical balance of being everywhere at once, but also not at all intrusive! We had SO much fun with James during our couples photography session while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. It was like hanging out with a mate you’ve known forever.

For anyone who thinks that wedding photos are usually cheesy or lame, absolutely go with James. We got AMAZING photos and he’s also incredibly kind, communicative and easy to work with. One of our best decisions

As a photographer I knew I wanted my wedding to be captured in a way that represented the mood, happiness and energy of the day and James captured this and more! His easy going personality made us feel comfortable right from the start and nothing was every too much to ask.

On the day James was professional and fun, he very quickly melted into the landscape and we only ever saw him when he wanted to capture some amazing sunset shots. His personal touches and ability to keep us both feeling at ease (when we both don’t like having our photos taken) was a blessing on a day that went so quickly.

The photographs were ready within 3 weeks (which was beyond our expectations) and they were more then we could have ever imagined. The candid shots of friends and family, the stunning colours used throughout and the use of lighting were key elements that I personally love in photography and James got them all!

If we had my time again, we would hire James in a heart beat (and probably for longer next time).

“incredible quality of photos”

My husband and I aren’t massive fans of posing for photos so were looking for a while to find a local photographer who was able to capture more candid and natural images. We found James through word of mouth and were absolutely stunned with his balance of professionalism and totally relaxed vibe as well with the incredible quality of photos that he managed to capture of the day. His photos captured the story of the day, but he also managed to capture the aesthetic change from a bright and colourful aesthetic for the ceremony, moving into a more vintage aesthetic when we moved towards the original house that the reception was at (cigars & whiskey kind of vibes). James enthusiasm was amazing and he will bend over backwards to make sure things are how they need to be in order to produce the best images possible. Definitely read his emails thoroughly because there were some hints and tricks that definitely helped to capture these photos that we otherwise wouldn’t have even thought of! Wealth of knowledge and talent!

a whole day’s worth of photos.
really?

I get it – being “on camera” for 8+ hours can sound daunting. As an introvert myself I completely get that. But that’s not what this is. It’s not an all-day photo shoot. It’s partnering with someone who’s there to capture your story as it unfolds – every spontaneous laugh and quiet moment.

This won’t be what you think of with most ‘wedding photography’ – stuff poses, being ordered around by a drill sergent, or being told to ‘kiss and smile’ for the camera. I just don’t do that, because to me, that isn’t authentic. That isn’t the real you.

Instead, your day is going to look more like this:

  • Morning light wraps around you as you share final moments of getting ready – no forced poses, just genuine anticipation.
  • You walk down the aisle to smiling faces and happy tears, each step framed against your perfectly chosen backdrop.
  • We slip away for portraits – wandering through gardens or along city streets – letting your connection glow in golden-hour light.
  • You celebrate with friends and family, toasts raised under twinkling lights, real moments caught between speeches.
  • Your first dance and reception unfold naturally – no rigid schedules, just the electric energy of your celebration.

Does that sound like an all day photoshoot to you? Me either.

creating art for your home.

One of the best parts of receiving your final images back from the day is deciding how you’d love to showcase your epic adventure in your own space, turning your house into a home.

The great news is that aside from being an expert elopement photographer, I’m acutely trained in helping create art for your home which suits your style and taste.

Best of all, i can even show you to scale how selected images will look to scale in your home with my sophisticated software.

This gives you a little preview of what I can do for you once your final images are delivered, and you’re keen on something on the wall!

What is your style?

classic framed.

, Pricing – Weddings NSW

super customisable.

If you love the ‘museum’ look, and want an art piece that could also compliment the materials and colours in your home, then framed could suit you both.

This piece has a UV coated protection on the glass to help reduce damage from the sun; it is best placed in a room which wouldn’t suffer from a lot of glare.

scandi timber.

, Pricing – Weddings NSW

perfect for minimalist lovers.

If you’re the sort of people who find yourselves becoming obsessed with wood and timber, then these may be perfect for you.

They also have a matte finish, which means that it won’t be as reflective as framed, so this may be perfect if you’re looking for a piece that gets a lot of natural light.

modern canvas.

, Pricing – Weddings NSW

simple and stylish.

If you find yourselves drawn to the more modern and minimalist feel of canvas, then these prints would be perfect for you.

They have a matte finish as well, meaning that they are suitable all over your home, including areas with plenty of natural light!

choice of presentation.
How would you like to display your art?

hero piece.

, Pricing – Weddings NSW

big and bold.

You’re looking for something that really stands on its own and sums you both up in one concise image.

Signature pieces are great if you like the big and bold look of having one big piece at the end of the hallway, or above your bed.

They can also be smaller pieces to compliment other pieces of artwork in your home.

Choose from timber, framed, or canvas.

It comes in all types of configurations, so you can have a massive set above the kitchen table, or a series in the hallway.

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.

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.

Let me help you create an incredibly fun, stress-free
experience while I document the whole story of your day.
