I've been fortunate enough to photograph weddings for nine years now. The thing that has always kept me invested in my craft is people. The interactions, the dynamics and most of all, the love. Love and the people that share it are what keep me intwined in this beautiful life I've chosen. How lucky for me that my craft has led me to this point.
I’m a connection focused photographer. I love looking for the unexpected and unnoticed moments, the loved ones crying during your ceremony, the look you and your partner share that is uniquely yours, the way you hold each others hands... it's all part of your story, and I thrive in seeking and drawing out these moments. Above all, I keep it real... and I don't just say that, I action it with everything I do.
My photography style is very intentional. I'm not here to waste hours filling out my portfolio with magazine cover portraits. I'll absolutely help you feel hot as fuck, don't get me wrong. But what's important to me, is what's important to you. And I generally find that means allowing you to enjoy your day and spend time with your loved ones. Through anticipation, experience and empathy I blend being a fly on the wall while also being the go-to guy to keep the day flowing.
I’m conscious of making sure your time with me is easy and fun, we'll build rapport so I'm not a stranger on your day. I'll build a timeline that will work for you, there's no one size fits all. It's crucial to me that you enjoy yourselves, with beautiful photos a by-product of your experience with me.
I will help you with your planning process. From the timeline, to recommending other suppliers I’ve worked with. I’m more than just a photographer and I encourage you to tap into this. You can come to me with any questions regarding your day and I’ll help guide you through it.
Film photography has become a big part of my style and approach (and my bank account statements). It's not only taught me to slow down and appreciate the art, it's crept into how I edit my digital photos and how I approach a scene. You'll find me using a mix of 35mm film and digital, as well as using my drone when necessary too.
Below you can find information and pricing regarding my coverage options.
Kettle of Fish
This package is my most popular, and what I would recommend to anyone looking for coverage for their entire day. Enough time to cover both people getting ready all the way through to the end of your formalities, and just enough dance-floor antics to give you some borderline incriminating photos of your guests.

+ Next day sneak peek gallery (30-50 images)
+ 35mm film photography and drone
+ Option to add a second photographer
+ Travel inclusive within 300kms of Adelaide
+ Web gallery to share with family and friends
+ Keepsake box with USB and 15 5x7 fine art prints

Can of Worms
Can of Worms is perfect if you're planning a more low-key celebration, or only needing coverage for half of the day.
+ 4-6 hours coverage

+ Web gallery to share with family and friends

Frequently asked questions...
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Murray Bridge, South Australia and am available worldwide. I do not charge travel fees within 300kms of Adelaide for my Kettle of Fish package, or 200km for my Can of Worms package.
Are you LGBTQI+ Friendly?
Of course! I love all people regardless of who they are. You're a pretty average human being if you think otherwise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you photoshop your images?
Each photo I edit goes through the process of culling, exposure corrections, colour grading and then photoshopping if needed. I usually remove distracting elements from your photos such as road works, cars, bright objects and even people if I deem it necessary. When photoshopping facial features, I will remove blemishes but will not remove or adjust permanent features.
Will you take care of all the location scouting for photos?
Yep! If it's a venue I haven't shot before, I'll definitely drop in at some stage to get the lay of the land. I'm also open to suggestions and ideas from you and your partner, but I'll have plenty of ideas to keep us covered!
What do we do in case of bad weather?
Your day is your day. I encourage everyone to embrace that. Whether it's sunny skies or an absolute downpour, I'll be right by your side with a smile on my face capturing the magic. I have clear umbrellas in my car at all times so we can make the most of inclement weather. If it's completely unmanageable, I have appropriate lighting to photograph indoors in any conditions.
Will we catch up before the wedding?
Definitely. At the very least by phone call, but I like to aim for a site visit leading up to the day so that we're fully on the same page with how things will run on the day.
What if I get injured or can't capture your day?
I have insurance and public liability to deal with any personal injury that might happen on the day of your shoot. I also have a network of photographers and videographers of a similar skillset to myself who are always ready to jump in at a moments notice.
