Welcome to my Blog!

I recently listened to a podcast interview with photographer John Dolan, and something he said really stayed with me. He spoke about wedding photos that are imperfect — and how those are often his favourite images. Not the technically flawless ones or the carefully lit portraits, but the photos that hold feeling. The ones that […]

When couples start planning their wedding, one of the most common things they say is that they want the day to feel relaxed. Not rushed, not overly staged — just enjoyable, comfortable, and present. From a photographer’s perspective, a relaxed wedding day isn’t about everything running perfectly. It’s about how the day is paced, how […]

Choosing your wedding photographer is about more than loving a certain style or look. This is the person who will be by your side for most of the day — so feeling comfortable, relaxed, and understood really matters. The right photographer will not only create beautiful images, but will also fit in easily and help […]

How Much Wedding Photography Coverage Do You Actually Need? One of the most common questions couples ask when planning their wedding photography is:“How many hours of coverage do we need?” It’s a fair question — but it’s not always the most helpful way to think about wedding photography. Rather than starting with a set number […]

There’s something incredibly special about a rural wedding. As a wedding photographer based in regional Queensland, I’ve been lucky enough to travel far and wide.

A Relaxed Start to Your Wedding Journey Engagement shoots are one of my favourite parts of being a photographer, and I’m often asked why they’re so important. The answer is simple: they provide the perfect opportunity to build a connection, calm any nerves about being in front of the camera, and have some fun together. […]

I’ve delved into the world of vintage lenses, and the obsession is certainly taking hold! There’s something magical about the character and uniqueness these lenses can bring to an image. I recently purchased the Helios 92mm f2 Projector lens and I finally got to try it out today! Now, I’m typically someone who prefers shooting […]

The Importance of a Well-Planned Timeline for Beautiful Bridal Portraits Your wedding day is packed with unforgettable moments—vows, first dances, cake cutting—but one of the most important photo opportunities happens before all of that: your bridal portraits. These shots are a key part of telling your wedding story, and having a well-planned timeline makes all […]

A few years ago, I made the decision to step back from wedding photography. Before I made that choice, weekends away from my family weren’t a large sacrifice. My kids were still little, and Saturdays didn’t hold much more significance than any other day of the week. But as the kids got older and started […]
