This right here? This is my favourite part!

Not pulling you aside every five minutes to fix your hands, adjust your earrings, turn your chin 3 degrees to the left, and recreate the same boring pinterest photo that has already been done a thousand times.

I want the stuff that actually happened.

Because years from now, that’s what brings you back.

Unfortunately, the wedding industry is full of “safe” photography!

Perfectly posed, perfectly curated, perfectly forgettable.

Beautiful, maybe. But often missing the feeling.

For almost a decade, I’ve photographed weddings all over Australia and beyond from Melbourne and Sydney to New York, Los Angeles and the UK and one thing has never changed 😎

I care far more about truth than perfection.

I don’t want your wedding to look like somebody else’s.

I want it to look like yours.

More moments. Less directing.

More feels. Less performance.

More memories that hit you right in the chest when you look back at them.

If that sounds like your kind of wedding photography, I think we’d get along pretty well ✌️

Come say hello!

So yeah, this is how I spend the morning with my people. So called, ’getting ready‘ photos.

None of that pose, pose, pose nonsense where the photographer drags you away from your friends and family just to tell you what to do with your hands, your earrings, your hair, over and over again like some recycled template.

I’m talking real moments. You being you. Your people being your people. Chaos, laughter, movement, energy, everything that actually makes the day yours!

SADLY that cookie cutter approach is everywhere. It is safe, it is predictable, and honestly it is lifeless. It does not tell your story. It just copies someone else’s.

For the last 8 years I‘ve been doing it this way across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and even flying to places like New York, LA, and the UK, and I’m never gonna change and give 0 damn about being ‘one of the boring photographers’. I‘m proud of it baby!

Less staging. More truth. More presence. More of what it actually felt like to be there.

Hey you! Want photos that feel like memory, not instruction? We are already on the same wavelength so girl, what you doing. Hit me up!

Brides, do yourself a favour. Avoid photographers whose ceremony galleries all look the same.

One subject smack bang in the middle of the frame, then everything else blurred into nothing.

Because that’s not what your wedding felt like.

One frame can tell many stories. Sometimes one. Sometimes two. Sometimes four all at once.

That’s where the art is!

A photograph shouldn’t feel static. It should feel alive. It should feel like it’s moving!!

It’s about seeing everything that’s happening and knowing which moments deserve to live together in the same frame.

Been shooting weddings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and beyond for the last 8 years and here’s the truth.

This isn’t about pressing a shutter in the right direction.

It’s about noticing what’s actually happening in real time, not just staging what seems to be in trend.

So when you’re choosing a photographer, find someone who notices more than just the obvious.

Someone who can actually see it.

So yeah, I don’t know how many times I have to say this but the fastest way to make the most boring, lifeless photograph is simple.

One subject slapped right in the middle of the frame, everything else blurred out, and the photographer just following bride and groom around like a zombie and only reacting to what is directly in front of them.

No awareness. No looking around. No intention.

Basically the BEST recipe for a meaningless, forgettable image, and I still see so many of them.

Posting another video breaking down how to ruin the wedding photos and more importantly, how not to 😎

Stop producing something boring AF like this.

Most photographers just immediately lock onto a single subject, usually a bride and groom or anyone who’s standing in front of the camera that’s the centre of the scrne, putting them in the middle of the frame then BAAM! Blurred background. Done.

The problem is that real moments don’t happen in isolation.

At Jess & Gabe’s garden games for an example, the story wasn’t just one person throwing a volleyball or laughing.

It was the reaction’s’. The people in the background. The little moments happening around the main moment.

Less obsession with blur.

More obsession with emotion and stories!

Because years later, everyone wants to remember how it felt, NOT to just boringly look at the the single subject in the middle of the frame then everything blurred.

Am I not right?

Yeah, let’s stop normalizing those bride and groom in the middle, everything blurred kind of photos.

Seriously, what’s the point?

A wedding is full of life.

There are people, there are stories, there are so many little moments happening all at once!

Ditch the boring, generic cookie cutter crap.

Start creating photos that show what it felt like.

Make photos with layers.

Make photos with context.

Make photos that people can keep discovering something new in, even years later.

Because those are the images couples come back to again and again.

I’ve been doing that for the last eight years across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and everywhere in between, and I’m going to keep doing it that way.

Hopefully the right people see this and think “thank god photographers like this still exist!!”

What are you trading off for the fake, posed photo?

Because every 15 minutes spent making something staged, you could’ve spent getting something real instead.

Not performed. Not prettied up. Just honest moments that actually happened.

So I guess it comes down to this: what feels more worth it to lose?

The real parts of the day? or another version of the same photos everyone’s already seen a hundred times.

And if those natural, unplanned moments matter to you more…
then you should say hello to me! Because that‘s what I find far more meaningful then any of those cookie cutter templates.

We normalised “romance” that doesn’t actually look like romance and nobody questions it anymore.

If it didn’t actually happen, why should it look like it did?

The problem is most wedding photos are built from the same formula, so they are starting to look identical no matter where they are taken.

I’m just hoping people realise wedding photos can also be about the ones that still feel true years later. Because what I captured ’actually‘ happened, not staged.

“We want to look back and remember how it felt to be alive.”

“We don’t want to perform.”

“We’re doing this for us, not for Instagram.”

I hear this from couples all the time. Honestly? It’s a breath of fresh air.

If you think those internationally looking same photos are super valuable, or if you need for someone to tell you how to tilt your chin or ask you to put your earrings on three times for a “perfect” shot, I’m not your guy.

The most meaningful photos aren’t the ones we staged. They’re the ones that happen while you’re actually busy living.

The wild, messy, unscripted parts you didn’t even notice me catching.

No shows. No fake scenes.

I’m not pulling you away from your favourite people just to tick off a shot list.

Just live the day. Be yourself. I’ll do the rest.
