“I can’t allow my quest for a perfect photo to become the reason I miss an emotionally important, fleeting moment.”
John Dolan
Weddings are some of the greatest moments of our lives. I may be biased, but when else do we get all of our most treasured friends and family together in one place? The beauty, and of course the chaos that unfolds is something I’ll never get tired of witnessing, observing, and documenting.
My focus is always on anticipating moments before they happen and capturing them authentically. I’m not just an observer but a participant in the weekend—I’ll drink with you, laugh with you, and photograph from the perspective of a friend.

Second Photographer
Most weddings I shoot solo, however if you have a particularly large wedding (e.g. 150+) or you have a lot of details you'd like photographed then I'd recommend it.
$750
Super 8 Film
A 2-3min video filmed on Kodak 8mm film and set to music. Think 80s home video but even cooler - because its your wedding.
If you would like more super 8 info or a longer video let me know.
$1500
Couples Shoot
We hang out, get to know each other more and capture some nice low-key portraits either in the city, out in nature or even down south on a mix of film and digital.
$500
Who am i?
I’m the proud father to 3 beautiful children, a husband who adores his wife, a man of faith, a drinker of maybe a little too much wine, I’m passionate about eating good food with great company, tending my garden and being outdoors. I’m born and raised in Western Australia and am so stoked to be able to call this place home.
We spent the last 6 years living in Margaret River but now live on a farm in Bullsbrook raising sheep, chickens, goats and a chubby golden retriever named Dougie.
Why should we hire you?
Feeling a little awkward or uncomfortable in front of the camera is totally normal and every couple feels this way to begin with. I don’t have you in weird, forced, cheesy positions gazing into the camera like a deer in headlights. Just like every other couple I’ve photographed you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy, and actually comfortable being photographed can be.
I’ve photographed over 300 weddings, I can help guide you through the process, together we can create images that are timeless and that you’ll have to treasure for the years to come.
My aim is to serve, help and guide you through not only the wedding day but the whole process, but coming alongside you as friend, and delivering images to be loved and treasured.
I pride myself on capturing the story of your wedding day. The real, raw, organic moments, and all the love, joy and emotions you share with those dearest to you.
I have an unobtrusive, photojournalistic approach, an obsession with the in between moments and a passion for the perfect-imperfect that makes a wedding beautiful.
If you want a photographer who will get amongst it and sink a few drinks with you on your wedding day - then I’m your man.
If you’re keen to talk some more, I recommend we now either catch up for a drink or have a Zoom/Facetime call and get to know each other a little more. There you can ask any questions you may have, see if I’m the right fit for the job and there’s absolutely zero obligation for you to book after the catch up.
I only take on a certain amount of weddings each year so its pivotal that you’re comfortable with me and the better we get along the better the images you’ll get!
Send me an email or text if you’d like to chat more and I look forward to hearing from you.
