About

Overview & Vibe

Lilly at Dawn is Bonnie, a photographer based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, living by the water at Evans Head. She describes herself as the girl from the country with the dust still in her veins, and she came to weddings from a background as a fine art photographic artist. Her line for the work is that everybody has a story, a legacy and a beauty that is more than surface deep.

Style & Approach

Warm, organic, artistic and authentic, in her own four words. She says she does not believe in perfection even though she spent most of her life chasing it, that an image should be felt before it is seen, and that the real beauty sits in the imperfections and the obscure details. The pictures run golden and unhurried, heavy on landscape and light.

Ideal For

Couples eloping somewhere remote, or holding something small with immediate family. She invites couples to name the place, the date and the headcount and shapes the coverage around it, and says she loves working with people who share an adventurous streak.

The Need-to-Knows

Four elopement and intimate-wedding packages are published outright, from two hours through to five. Every one includes a pre-wedding consultation and an online gallery with a slideshow; the larger ones add a fine art album of up to forty spreads, a personalised wooden box holding twenty prints, and a USB of the edited images at high and low resolution. The smallest package has the travel fee built in.

Standout Feature

Range of place. Alongside the Northern Rivers work the portfolio carries weddings shot in the red centre of the country, on beaches, in creek beds, under willows and on red sand dunes, which is unusual for a photographer of this size.

Albums & Prints

Fine Art Album. Description: Up to forty spreads, included in the Hopeless Romantic and Wild Times packages.
Personalised Wooden Print Box. Description: Holds twenty prints and is included in the Hopeless Romantic package.
