Yes. I photograph weddings across Perth and regularly work throughout the Margaret River region, including Yallingup, Dunsborough, and surrounding South West locations.

Perth weddings often involve city venues, beaches, or multiple locations across the day. South West weddings tend to feel more like a destination experience, with guests travelling, staying locally, and celebrating over a full weekend. I’m experienced with both and tailor coverage to suit each setting.

My approach combines timeless editorial portraits with documentary-style coverage.

You’ll receive a mix of:

• Guided, beautifully composed images (your “magazine cover” moments)

• Natural, in-between moments captured as they happen

Most couples who say they want “candid” photos are really looking for images that feel natural and unforced — not stiff or outdated. Creating that look takes experience, direction, and planning, and I guide you throughout the day so nothing feels awkward or confusing.

As a general guide, you can expect around 100 edited images per hour of coverage.

That said, image numbers naturally vary depending on what’s happening across the day — timelines, guest numbers, how events unfold, and how much is packed into each hour all play a role. I take a very quality‑over‑quantity approach and don’t aim for an exact number. I include everything that is genuinely strong and meaningful — never filler images just to reach a quota.

This really depends on the flow of your day. Things like overlapping prep times, separate getting-ready locations, larger guest lists, or a tight timeline can all benefit from having a second photographer.

If your budget allows, I almost always recommend one. It helps the day feel less rushed, allows for more comprehensive coverage, and gives me an extra set of hands for lighting, logistics, and problem‑solving as the day unfolds. I’m always happy to talk this through with you and help you decide what makes sense for your wedding. Second photographers start from $1,200.

You’ll receive a preview gallery the day after your wedding, usually around 10–20 images that touch on each part of the day. These are perfect for sharing with family or on socials, and they also give you a sense of how I’ve edited your wedding. If there’s anything you’d like adjusted tonally, this is the ideal time to let me know before I complete the full gallery.

Your full gallery is delivered approximately 6–8 weeks after your wedding. I always aim to deliver as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. A rushed job shows — and while you won’t notice a week here or there years from now, you will always notice the difference in careful, considered editing.

In short, no.

I don’t use AI to cull images. I’ve tested it extensively and found the results far too unreliable. A computer cannot discern emotion, nuance, or fleeting human moments the way I can — and I’ve seen AI remove truly beautiful frames. I won’t risk that.

Every image you receive has been personally selected and edited by me. Nothing is delivered without being seen by my eyes. I do occasionally use AI‑assisted tools within Photoshop to remove small distractions like cars or rubbish in the background, but these tools have existed in professional retouching for many years. Your images are never sent to overseas editors or third parties.

I am your editor, full stop.

Yes. I will be the one photographing your wedding.

It’s worth being cautious of large, low‑cost companies — particularly those not based in Western Australia — who don’t guarantee the photographer you book will be the one who shows up. I regularly see these companies advertising in photographer groups, looking for last‑minute shooters for upcoming weekends.

When you book me, you are booking me. Barring a true emergency, I will be the photographer documenting your day from start to finish.

Most couples book their wedding photographer 12–18 months in advance, particularly for peak season dates between October and April.

Margaret River and South West weddings often book earlier due to limited availability and travel considerations, so securing your photographer sooner is always recommended if you have a specific date or venue in mind.

Absolutely.

Almost every couple tells me this. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do — that’s my job. I give clear, gentle direction when needed and step back when things are unfolding naturally. You’ll never be left standing around wondering what to do with your hands.

The approach remains the same, but the planning is adjusted.

South West venues often offer everything in one place — ceremony, portraits, and reception — which allows for a more relaxed flow. Perth weddings sometimes involve travel between locations, which requires tighter timeline coordination.

I help you plan coverage that suits your venue, location, and priorities so the day feels organised without being rigid.

Yes. Timeline guidance is included with every booking.

I help you plan:

• How long to allow for portraits

• The best time of day for light

• Family photo logistics

• Buffer time so nothing feels rushed

A well-planned timeline is one of the biggest factors in creating calm, enjoyable wedding photos.
