Why we can't wait to document your day

Seeing two hearts combine and having a killer day brings us to our happy place.

Seriously, when you think about it, what other day is there where we get to peel everything back and share sentiments with each other that we’ve probably never, ever expressed before?! You’ll hear words from your lover, your parents, your best friends that have somehow always gone unsaid, yet they’ve been at the core of your relationships.

It’s such a beautiful thing to behold and never ceases to make us fall in love with humanity.

Hand on heart, every ounce of our energy will go towards making sure that once-in-a-lifetime feeling will stay with you whenever you look at your photos, hijacking your tear ducts all over again.

I am incredibly blessed to run a team of passionate and talented photographers, each one an artist in their own right.

We strive to capture your unguarded moments that you'll look back on and know are unquestionably authentic. During your portrait session, we offer gentle guidance to get those organic moments in the best light and location.

When you hire us, you’re not just getting an internationally awarded creative studio, but a wedding guide and ultimately, a new friend.

My Philosophy

Planning a wedding can be a huge undertaking, but I'm here to help. From the moment you book my services, you can expect a tailored experience, with timely responses and dependable, efficient, professional support and guidance throughout every stage of your wedding planning journey.

My goal is to instil a sense of ease and excitement as you approach your special day.

I will be there for you. When you reach out to me, I'll be ready to assist, leaving no detail overlooked.

IF YOU DON'T THINK PHOTOS ARE IMPORTANT, WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE ALL YOU HAVE LEFT

INVESTMENT

If you seek a photographer fully committed to capturing authentic breathtaking images of your day, someone who shares your passion for human connection, with the people you cherish the most, and who can craft a distinctive, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyable experience from beginning to end, then we would be delighted to work with you.

Photographs act as an enduring record of your wedding, offering a means to revisit every moment with a simple turn of a wedding album page or the click of a button. As time goes by and memories of the day naturally fade, the value of these photos increases exponentially. They become a cherished legacy for friends, children, and grandchildren to look back at your special day.

Recognising that your photos are an investment, it's crucial that your values align with those of your photographer.

EXTRAS

It's your day, so you can call the shots.

Photography By The Hour

Whether you've planned a special morning ritual or a wedding after-party to keep the festivities going, I'm more than happy to help you capture all the moments. Simply add some extra hours to your chosen package and count me in!

+$350 PER ADDITIONAL HOUR

Rush Fee

Don't want to wait the usual 3-4 weeks to see your photos? The excitement is real and we get that. Skip the queue and add the rush service to have your photos in just a week after your wedding.

+$500 RUSH FEE

The Travel

I'd love to capture your destination wedding, no matter where it is in the world. To assist with your planning, I've created some affordable, all inclusive travel packs. Just tack it on, and I'll look after the rest.

+$500 FOR DOMESTIC TRAVEL (WEDDINGS MORE THE 300KM FROM 3777) +$1,500 FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL (WEDDINGS OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA)

The perfect solution to cover multiple locations or big weddings.

SECOND SHOOTER

As much as I'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second shooter on the day.

This is a particularly good idea if:

- You want to get shots of your guests enjoying the canapes and lawn games after the ceremony while we’re off getting your bridal photos

- You and your partner are getting ready at the same time, and the locations are far apart

- You're wanting photos of the ceremony and reception styling, prior to the arrival of your guests

Basically, the second shooter will act as my wingman/ wingwoman, doubling the coverage of your wedding with alternative angles and the ability to be in two places at once.

We'll team up to make sure that everything is captured. Lastly having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken of the ceremony and reception styling, undisturbed by guests.

+$200p/hr for a second shooter

(minimum two hours)

How many professionally taken photos do you and your partner have, ones that you really love and can fill your home with?

An engagement shoot is a chance for us to capture some really beautiful, candid photos of you and your partner in a relaxed environment. Just the two of you, being you.

Plus, if you're a little camera-shy, it's the perfect opportunity for you to practice being comfortable in front of the camera, in the lead up to your wedding day.

Either way, I promise that we'll have a lot of fun while we're at it.

Authentically capturing just the two of you, being yourselves

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

+ 1 Hour Shoot

+ High resolution photos

+ Low resolution images

$1000

When you consider how much went into your wedding day and how quickly it goes by, it’s absolutely criminal to imagine your images trapped away on a USB or online gallery. When was the last time you got out a hard drive from ten years ago to look at the photos? I honestly feel like prints are the best wedding investment you can make because it’s a daily reminder of not just your wedding, but your love and everything your marriage stands for.

Send out those vibes throughout your house and relive your wedding day every time you wake up in the morning, share a glass of wine together or head off to bed at night with these dazzling framed prints on fine art paper - yours to cherish and ooh-ahh over forevermore.

“He is such a fun and friendly guy and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We didn’t once feel awkward and I feel like the photos show our relationship and love for one another so perfectly. I look at each photo and the emotion is so real and makes me feel as if I am back there having the best day of my life.”

- Lija & Rowan

Where are you based?

I'm based in the heart of the Yarra Valley - Healesville, Australia, but I travel all over the globe to capture love.

We’re a bit shy in front of the camera, can you work with that?

Read through my reviews and you’re going to see a consistent, reoccuring theme. I will make you guys feel super comfortable being around me, so much so that your guests will confuse me for an old friend of yours. We’ll have fun together! You’ll ease into it, and you’ll get some cracking photos that actually reflect how you are together.

Do you do same-sex weddings?

A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!

How many photos will I receive?

You'll receive over 450-800 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!

FAQs

How will I receive my photos?

Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots the day after your wedding. 3 to 4 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery and slideshow to watch and relive your wedding day.

How long will it take to receive our photos?

It will take roughly 3 to 4 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.

We don't want our photos on social media.

This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that, just be sure to let me know.

What happens if disaster strikes?

In the unlikely event that I am prevented from making it to your day, I have countless contacts that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers who will take good care of you.

Can I print my photos?

Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.

Do you have any vendors you recommend?

Yes, from years of experience in the wedding industry I have come to work with some of the top wedding vendors. I have produced a mustread wedding guide detailing my best recommendations which you can find here.

If you would like a specific recommendation, just reach out and I'm sure I will have some suggestions I can send you.

Sounds great! How do I lock you you in?

Once you are comfortable with me as your wedding photographer and would like to lock in the date, I will require a 20% booking fee with the remainder to be paid any time before the day of the wedding. We can then look forward to spending one of the best days of your lives together and creating breathtaking moments that will be captured and enjoyed forever.

HOW TO BOOK

I'm so pumped, here's how you can lock us in for your wedding day

THANK YOU! I'm unbelievably excited and honoured that you'd like to book one of our photographers. Let's get the party started!

SHOOT ME AN EMAIL AND LET ME KNOW YOU'RE READY

I'll send you through a quote and an contract. Once accepted, it will generate an invoice with the 20% booking fee to lock in the day.

Please note that we do book out pretty far in advance, so it's best to get in touch with me sooner rather than later, to avoid any disappointment.

"What a beautifully, funny, caring, amazing human"

Matt made every nervous thought disappear. He made everyone laugh and smile and he fitted in with all of us so well. He was no longer the photographer he was family and honestly we would do anything for him. We could write a million things to sum up Matt and it still wouldn’t be enough.

- Sam & Craig - Shot by Matt

"THESE IMAGES ARE SENSATIONAL"

Kaye and I and the whole family are delighted with how Dave has captured the key moments and emotion of our wedding.We can’t thank you guys enough for all the helpful tips along the way and support This led to an awesome outcome on our wedding day. Love your work!!!
