About

Overview & Vibe

Courtney Dwyer is a wedding photographer based in Gippsland who works across Phillip Island and the surrounding coast — her own headings put both regions side by side, and Phillip Island leads her page titles. She is a mum of four who describes herself as warm and energetic, and her pitch is to be in the centre of the day rather than at the edge of it: your cheerleader, your confidant, the spare tissue tucked in a pocket. She is currently booking 2025 and 2026.

Style & Approach

She does not put a label on how she shoots, and does not claim one. What she does describe is where she stands: in the middle of things, from the quiet nerves at the beginning through to the dance floor at the end, capturing the moments you notice and the ones you do not realise are happening. Couples writing about her use the same two words repeatedly — calm and comfortable — and one notes she found the right spots at a venue she had never seen before.

Ideal For

Couples marrying on Phillip Island or anywhere across Gippsland who want a photographer from the region rather than one driving down from Melbourne. Her published weddings run from a Phillip Island winery to a Gippsland estate to the Yarra Valley, so she travels for the right day. Couples who also want a highlight film, or who will come back later for family, maternity or newborn photographs, can book all of it from one person.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding pricing is not published — she says all photographs are included in a private online gallery and asks you to get in touch for package prices, so the figures come by enquiry. No coverage hours, album range or delivery timeframe is published either. Her other sessions are priced openly: family, couples and engagement sessions at $595, maternity at $595, in-home newborn at $595, a combined bump and baby package at $995, and a highlight film from $795. None of those is a wedding price.

Standout Feature

Three complete real weddings published as full galleries rather than a curated highlights reel — a Phillip Island winery, a Gippsland estate and a Yarra Valley property, several hundred frames between them. You can see an entire day from beginning to end before you enquire, which is more than most sites in the region show.
