About
Overview & Vibe
A Brisbane wedding and elopement photographer who has built a whole service around the Brisbane Registry Office, the city-hall style wedding on Level 32 of Ann Street, alongside full day coverage across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Style & Approach
Relaxed, candid and documentary-inspired, in her own words: no cheese, no cringe, no awkward poses. The emphasis is on the nervous smiles before the ceremony and the in-between moments rather than set pieces.
Ideal For
Couples marrying at the registry or planning something intimate, who want a real package rather than an hourly rate, and couples who want their photographs back fast.
The Need-to-Knows
- Full day collections of six, eight or ten hours, quoted on enquiry.
- Image minimums are published — 200, 500 and 750 or more.
- Sneak peeks one to three days after the day.
- An engagement or family session is included on the full day collections.
- Travel to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast is quoted separately.
Standout Feature
The registry specialism. She knows the flow of the building and the portrait locations within walking distance, which matters on a day that is over in an hour.
