There are weddings where the details are beautiful simply because they’re beautiful — and then there are weddings where almost everything seems to have a story behind it. Jen and Wade’s wedding at The Church Events Venue in Rockhampton was definitely the latter. Family history was woven throughout their day, from old wedding photographs of […]

There’s something pretty special about a wedding that involves catching a ferry to work! Phil and Tab’s Great Keppel Island wedding was a beautiful, intimate celebration with just 15 of their closest family and friends. There was no bridal party, and their children played some of the most important roles of the day. It was […]

Kirsty and Lindsay’s Clermont wedding was one of my favourites this year. With vows beside the weir, gum trees overhead and Kirsty arriving on her horse, there was plenty to love about this afternoon. They said their vows on the bank beneath the gum trees, just as the sun started to drop. And Kirsty arrived […]

If you’re feeling overwhelmed choosing a wedding photographer in Mackay or Rockhampton, you’re not alone. There’s a lot to compare, and it’s often something you’ve never had to think about before. There are different styles, prices and packages, but looking through photographs is only part of the decision. You also want to understand how someone […]

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

If you’re considering family photography in Emerald or elsewhere in Central Queensland, you might be wondering what to expect, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve had photographs taken or you’re unsure how the kids will go. I’m based near Comet and photograph families throughout the Central Highlands, including Emerald and Blackwater. One of […]

Why I Love Photographing Families Over Time One of the things I love most about family photography in Central Queensland is getting to photograph the same families through different stages of their lives. From engagements and weddings to maternity sessions, newborns and growing families, it’s lovely to be invited back as their lives change. Over […]

One of the lovely things about family photography in Blackwater and the surrounding Central Highlands is getting to see families again as their lives change. I photographed Gemma’s maternity session not long ago, so it was wonderful to have her and Mark back in front of my camera, this time with their new baby boy. […]

“Editorial wedding photography” is a term that gets used a lot — and it can mean different things to different people. At its core, editorial photography is about creating images that feel refined, intentional, and elevated, while still looking natural and effortless. It’s inspired by the kind of imagery you’d expect to see in a […]
