About

Overview & Vibe

Dan Cartwright Photography is a documentary wedding photographer based in Bowral, with more than 20 years and over 1,000 weddings behind the camera. He photographs across the Southern Highlands, the South Coast and Sydney.

Style & Approach

The approach is quietly documentary: observing rather than directing, photographing silently through ceremonies, and keeping portraits to a relaxed 15 to 20 minutes so couples stay with their guests. Editing is natural, with a soft, film-inspired feel.

Ideal For

Couples who feel awkward in front of a camera and would rather have honest, unposed photographs of the day as it really happened, at Highlands estates or South Coast venues.
