What is our style

As wedding & portrait photographers, we’re fluent in both digital and analog film photography. Rather than following trends and the latest fads on Pinterest, we strive to create timeless and authentic imagery with an elegant, classic, and clean style. Taking a photojournalistic-meets- natural-styled approach to each session, you will be given plenty of space to comfortably express yourselves, but we will also be there to help with natural and relaxed posing.

What is our approach

As every couple and wedding is unique, our commitment to you through frequent communication leading up to your special day is what sets us apart in a crowded wedding industry, allowing us to get to know you better, including your unique personalities & love stories – creating an exceptional experience that honours your special day.

On the day think of us as one of your guests, as we unobtrusively capture all your special moments. We will only step in and provide direction during your portraits, drawing upon our experience and skills to help you relax while we create natural authentic moments that enhance the magic that is already present.

What your investment means to us

For us, your wedding is not just another job to be completed but an honour & privilege. Because we only take on a limited number of weddings each year we are able to give you our undivided attention to craft images with scrupulous attention to detail, ensuring every component of your day is captured to the highest standards.

We are so delighted our paths crossed, & we’d be honoured to tell your story!

We’re in this together

We know it can be challenging to plan a wedding even in the best of times, and now more than ever just know we are acutely aware of the uncertainty and are all in to help.

Limited dates for 2020 are still available (including shorter ceremony only weddings), with 2021 dates filling up fast.
