Weddings

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.

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. The ones that show what […]

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 […]

“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 […]

This is the person who will be alongside you for much of the day, so feeling comfortable, relaxed and understood matters.

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 […]

Rural wedding photography in Queensland has taken me from family properties around Roma to the riverbanks outside Longreach and stations near Jundah. There’s something special about photographing a wedding somewhere that already means so much to the couple. Home in the Heart of the Bush I grew up on a cattle property—and it’s still home […]
