Blue Mountains Wedding Photographer

Will you help with our timeline?

The photography works best when it’s built into the day from the beginning. Before your wedding, I’ll help you plan a timeline that allows enough time for the photographs without making the day feel rushed or overly structured.
We’ll look at everything from getting ready and family photographs through to portraits, considering your plans, the light and the flow of the day.

In the event that you get sick, what happens?

If the unexpected happens and I’m unable to photograph your wedding, you won’t be left to find a replacement at the last minute. I have a small network of photographers whose work and approach I trust, and I’ll arrange a suitable photographer to step in.
I’ll remain involved in the background and personally edit your final gallery, so the photographs still have the Lonely Hunter look and feel you booked for.

Where in the Blue Mountains do you photograph weddings?

I photograph weddings throughout the Blue Mountains, including Katoomba, Leura, Blackheath, Wentworth Falls, Mount Victoria and surrounding areas. I’m happy to travel throughout the region, whether your wedding is at a well-known venue, a private property or somewhere a little more remote.

What do you charge for wedding photography in the Blue Mountains?

I don't provide a one size fits all price, so the best thing to do is submit an enquiry with some details about the day you are planning, including your date, venue, how much coverage you need etc and i'll put together a tailored quote for you.

What do you do if you haven't worked at our venue before?

Whenever possible, I like to do a venue walkthrough before the wedding day. It gives me the chance to see the spaces in person, understand the light and identify the best locations for photographs before you arrive.
That preparation means I’m not figuring things out on the day, I already know the venue and can focus on photographing you and everything happening around you.

Have you won awards or been featured anywhere?

Over the years, my photography has been recognised through industry awards and published by leading wedding platforms. Highlights include winning the Canon Light Awards and being named a 2025 finalist in the International Photographer of the Year competition.
My work has also appeared in Hello May, Together Journal, Ivory Tribe, Wedshed, Wedded Wonderland, Nouba and Rock 'n' Roll Bride.

How do we find out if our date is available?

Submit an enquiry and I’ll send through my availability, pricing and package options. From there, we can have a chat about your wedding, what you’re looking for and whether I’m the right photographer for you.

As a guide, most full-day weddings result in around 600–1,000+ edited images. Every wedding is different and my priority is always quality and storytelling rather than reaching a set number, so the final gallery is shaped by the moments that best tell the story of your day.

The Answers

What happens if it rains on my wedding day?

I’ve photographed enough rainy weddings and know how to work with the weather without letting it affect the experience of your day. If rain is forecast, don’t worry, we’ll have a plan, and I’ll work with the conditions to create a collection of photographs you’ll love. We’ll talk through the options in the lead-up to your wedding. Please also know, that a little rain can create some incredible Blue Mountains wedding photos.

I recommend securing your date as early as possible, particularly for Saturday weddings and popular dates. Most couples book around 12–18 months ahead and we usually book out because we only take on limited number of weddings each year.

When should we secure our date with you?

I (Richard) will always be the photographer on the day. Lonely Hunter is not a studio.
