About

Overview & Vibe

Richard shoots weddings across Sydney and the Northern Beaches, with a background in fashion, travel and lifestyle photography behind him. He is a recommended supplier at more than thirteen Sydney venues, and unless you book a studio package he is the photographer on the day himself.

Style & Approach

Editorial and candid, mostly natural light - he only reaches for flash once the light has genuinely gone. He will guide you toward the best light and composition, but he is explicit that he will not keep you away from your own party for hours.

Ideal For

Couples who want the day to look elevated without being staged, anywhere from a two-hour elopement to twelve hours with a second shooter. He services Sydney, the Southern Highlands, the Hunter Valley, the Blue Mountains and the South Coast.

The Need-to-Knows

Four wedding packages at six, eight, ten and twelve hours, plus two and four hour elopement options.
No additional fees or travel charges at all - travel is inside the price.
Around 100 images for every hour of coverage, so roughly 600 to 1,000 in total.
A highlight reel of 70 to 150 images lands within a week on most packages.
Prices are quoted on enquiry rather than published.

Standout Feature

The gallery turnaround is the fastest of any photographer listed here - every package promises the full gallery within two weeks, and the top package delivers every image inside one. He also publishes his backup routine and offers his public liability certificate straight off the page for venues that ask.
