Fig. #12 — me

Everyone is a little bit strange

(me included).

So here’s the thing… I like old stuff, creepy stuff and weird stuff. When I grow up I want to be a witch or a cat-lady (or both), and spend my time cooking, gardening and pondering. If I ever grow an edible vegetable in my yard, then, my friend, it will be a very good day.

Now you might be wondering what somebody like me is doing in a place like this. My answer is very simple: I’m fascinated by the human connection and the strange little things that make a relationship unique.

If traditional wedding photography makes you want to run screaming into the nearestst shrubbery, we’re probably going to get along.

I have been photographing weddings across Perth, Fremantle and Southwest of Western Australia since 2009, photographing hundreds of couples as they choose each other and celebrate their lives together. Over the years, I’ve discovered that the most meaningful photographs are not perfectly posed ones. They’re the moments that happen in between - the ridiculous, intimate, messy, emotional and completely unexpected bits that you simply cannot plan.

That’s why I take a candid, documentary style approach to wedding photography. I want you to feel like yourselves in your photographs and be allowed to enjoy your day (warts ‘n’ all) without it feeling like a performance.

You don’t need to know how to pose, or even be particularly comfortable in front of a camera. You don’t need to be featured in Vogue or have a perfectly Instagrammable wedding. You just need to be yourselves. It’s the strange stuff that makes us who we are.

It’s the strangeness that I find beautiful.

That’s what I photograph.
