Illawarra Elopement & Wedding Photographer

Documentary

& Timeless

weddings & elopements in Shellharbour, Kiama, Berry, Jamberoo and Wollongong.

You want your wedding day to feel unhurried—ceremony, portraits, and celebration all in one place.

I’m here to document your day as it naturally unfolds: the way your dad straightens your collar, your dog trotting down the aisle, the squeeze of a hand before vows, the golden quiet at sunset.

I photograph with a gentle, fly-on-the-wall approach so you can be fully present. The result: honest, light-filled images that feel like your day—now and in 30 years.
