Real Moments turned Art & Portraits that feel like you
..Let’s Talk about a “Perfect Photo”
What has an Honours Arts Degree (please forgive— I never get the change to plug my arts degree in conversation) and 12 years working as a Photographer taught me about making the “Perfect Photo”? Honestly…nothing!
When it comes to weddings a “perfect photo” is completely unique to the humans in the frame. Your relationships, style and personality. Are you about wild horses in meadows or more into your wild sense of humour and your pet chowchow? Whimsical romantic images, or casual and cool? Trust me, the photos that end up on your fridge surrounded by your favourite weird magnets or in frames—they come from moments that speak to who you are. My honours degree in art (sorry I never get to plug that!) and 13 years of experience taking photos can’t teach me about a perfect photo. Some sassy vogue director can’t tell you about your perfect photo. I’m here to help translate your vibe into visuals— you’re not props in a painting! I really care about integrating your comfort and personality in any directed images and getting meaningful candid moments.

So how do you actually want to remember your day?
If it’s hanging upside-down with sparklers over a freezing river because it looks cool on Pinterest we’ll make it happen! But I’m a big fan of authenticity in portraits and candid, emotive photography with a creative spin. I’m obsessed with the quiet and colourful moments in between the obvious ones.
With me you’ll get a photojournalist at heart with a creative director that can help you get in the right lighting, look good and feel confident. You can trust me to help capture those candid moments or create portraits that feel natural—whether you’re creative, classy, or a couple of sexy nerds. If your best friend wouldn’t pose you on a pink flamingo heart neither will I. Tell me a bit about you and I’ll make the rest of it easy!

It’s of course, that moment you first see each other. The awkward joke that one of your parent’s crack while you’re getting ready that makes everyone howl. Your brother being cheesy. Your dog wanting to help. That loving look in your dad or mom (or uncle Jo’s eye). The quiet hand squeeze when you’re at the alter and feeling that “oh my god this is finally happening” intensity. A super real, hot kiss during the fun, dancey part (not just when you’re supposed to). Your kid—squealing in joy on the dance floor or doing something hilarious. I pay attention to these moments. I pay attention to your loved ones and guests, too. All of it is a part of your memory. Beauty, humour, the cheese and the cool. All of it matters.
