About

Overview & Vibe

Jess Oakenfull is a Hobart-based wedding photographer working across Tasmania, from full-day celebrations at historic estates to two-hour elopements on a beach. She has lived in Tasmania her whole life, and it shows in the work: colour, weather and landscape are part of the picture rather than a backdrop to it.

Style & Approach

She describes her style as relaxed, candid and a little bit nostalgic — nothing forced, just two people getting married and being themselves. Her approach is laid-back and non-intrusive, and she is direct about the fact that most couples tell her they hate having their photo taken. Gentle direction is offered so nobody has to know how to pose.

Ideal For

Couples who want the day documented rather than staged, and who would rather have a photographer who blends into the party than one who runs it. The range of coverage — two hours through to nine — suits a small elopement and a full day equally well.

The Need-to-Knows

Coverage runs from two to nine hours, with all prices in Australian dollars and inclusive of GST. Travel is included within 50km of Hobart and charged as a flat fee beyond it. A non-refundable retainer secures the date and the balance falls due two weeks before the wedding. Small weddings and elopements are not offered on Saturdays between October and April. A highlight gallery of up to fifty images arrives within five days; the full gallery follows in six to eight weeks and stays online for eighteen months.

Standout Feature

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art majoring in Photography and Visual Communication, and worked as a graphic designer before photographing weddings — a background she credits for the way she sees colour and light. Her work has appeared in Hello May, Together Journal and Frankie Magazine.
