South Coast Wedding Photographer

Your wedding deserves to be photographed with the same thought and care that went into creating it. As a South Coast wedding photographer, I focus on the atmosphere, emotion and moments that give your day its character. The approach is unobtrusive but considered, allowing genuine moments to unfold while creating imagery that feels elevated, natural and timeless. Nothing forced, just photographs that capture the people, places and feeling of your wedding day.

OMG I LOVE the highlight reel!! You have done an amazing job, You're amazing, They are amazing, it's all amazing!!

Thank you so so much for the photography on the day. You kept our crazy bunch (mostly) on time and were so easy going. 

Do you offer guidance with the running order of the day?

Yes. The timeline is something I like to work through with my couples before the wedding, rather than simply turning up and following whatever schedule has been set. I can suggest how much time to allow for getting ready, family photos, portraits and everything in between, while taking the light and your plans into account. The aim is to make the photography fit naturally into your day, rather than the other way around.

What happens if you can't photograph our wedding day because you are sick?

While it’s extremely rare, I have a trusted network of professional photographers I can call on if I fall sick prior to your wedding. In that instance, I'll make sure you have a suitable replacement and remain involved behind the scenes. I'll also still edit your images, so the final gallery still reflects the style you've booked me for.

Where on the South Coast do you photograph weddings?

The South Coast covers a pretty big area, and I regularly photograph weddings from Wollongong and Kiama through to Berry, Jervis Bay,  Shoalhaven and surrounding areas. I’m more than happy to travel throughout the region, so whether your wedding is on the coast, further inland or somewhere a little off the beaten track, travel isn’t an issue.

What should we budget for South Coast wedding photography?

Most couples invest between $4,000–$5,000 in their wedding photography, depending on the coverage and package they choose. Every package includes photography on the day, professional editing, consultations, timeline guidance, a private online gallery and travel, with no image limits or hidden fees.

What if my wedding is at a venue you haven't photographed at before?

Because I do a lot of research and planning heading into the day, for me it's not really a big deal. For weddings across the South Coast, I'll familiarise myself with the location beforehand, looking at how the light moves through the property, where the best portrait opportunities are and how the different spaces can work throughout the day. That preparation means I can arrive knowing the location and focus on photographing your wedding rather than figuring out the venue as I go.

Have you won awards or been featured anywhere?

My work has been recognised both within the photography industry and by wedding publications. I have won the Canon Light Awards and in 2025 was named a finalist in the International Photographer of the Year competition. I've also had my work featured by Hello May, Together Journal, Ivory Tribe, Wedshed, Wedded Wonderland, Nouba and Rock 'n' Roll Bride, among others.

How do we find out if you're available for our date?

Simply send through an enquiry with your wedding date and a little information about your plans. I’ll let you know whether I’m available and attach my pricing and packages in a return email. We can then organise a chat to talk through your day, answer any questions and see if we’re a good fit.

As a guide, you can expect roughly 100 images per hour of photography. Every wedding unfolds differently, though, so the size of your final gallery will depend on your coverage, the people and the moments that happen throughout the day. Most couples receive 600–1,000+ fully edited photographs, but I never cull images simply to meet a quota. If it adds something to the story of your wedding, it stays in the gallery.

How many photographs will be included in our gallery?

The Answers

What happens if it rains on my wedding day?

Rain doesn't mean your photographs have to suffer. We'll have a plan in place for your venue and can adapt the timeline and locations depending on what the weather decides to do. Often, a little rain can create some of the most atmospheric photographs of the day.

Once your wedding date is locked in, I'd recommend reaching out sooner rather than later. I deliberately take on a limited number of weddings each year, so availability can become limited, particularly for popular South Coast dates during spring and autumn.

How far ahead should we secure our date?
