FAQs
Whether you're celebrating a wedding, growing a business or welcoming people through your doors, you're telling a story. My job is to help you tell it honestly.
What makes you different?

After nearly twelve years behind the camera, I've realised photography has very little to do with cameras.
It's about people.
My job isn't to turn up and take photographs. It's to notice the things that matter, help people feel comfortable and create images that feel honest. Whether I'm photographing a family business, a winery or a wedding, I'm always looking for the same thing—real connection.
Beautiful photographs are simply the result of that.

We feel awkward in front of the camera.
Can you help?

Absolutely.
In fact, I'd be more surprised if you told me you loved having your photo taken.
Most of my clients start by saying they're awkward. By the end of the session they're usually laughing, chatting and forgetting I'm even there. That's because I don't expect you to perform—I simply create the space for you to be yourself.
Those are the photographs people connect with.
I've written a little more about this in Choosing a Photographer for an Intimate Wedding.
How do you know what to photograph?

I ask questions.
Lots of them.
Before every shoot I want to understand what's important to you. For businesses, that might be your customers, your team or the experience you create. For weddings, it might be your grandparents, your best mates or making sure you're actually present on the day.
Once I know what matters to you, the photographs become much more meaningful.

Do you photograph weddings or businesses?

Both—and I've never really seen them as being all that different.
Whether you've built a business from the ground up or you're planning a wedding with the people you love most, you're telling a story. You're inviting people into something that matters to you.
That's what I photograph.
People, places and the moments that bring them together.
