About
Overview & Vibe
He shoots a mix of digital and 35mm film.
Style & Approach
In his own words, his work sits right between documentary and editorial - candid, high-energy moments alongside colourful, intentional imagery. He is not shy about colour, and says he wants the photographs to feel like the wedding actually felt rather than to look dated in ten years.
Ideal For
Melbourne and Victorian couples during the Australian summer, and anyone planning a destination wedding in southern Italy - where being on the ground half the year is the point.
The Need-to-Knows
- The signature collection is eight hours of coverage, with add-on hours available.
- A larger collection adds a second photographer and complimentary 35mm film.
- A preview selection arrives within 72 hours; the full gallery in four to six weeks.
- He sends a wedding information pack on enquiry.
- No travel fees anywhere within Puglia during the European season.
Standout Feature
He is genuinely resident in both markets rather than flying in - six years of summers in Puglia with family, and he knows Ostuni, Alberobello and the coastline around Polignano a Mare well enough that couples planning from Australia get someone already there.
