Attention to detail

In the writing world, there is a concept called “show don’t tell."

The idea is that if a writer wants to communicate the meaning of a moment, they should resist telling the reader the meaning, and instead show it, by describing the actions and details.

In a visual medium like photography, all communication is non-verbal, so the potential for communicating a story through actions and details is bound only by your eye for the small stuff.

A good picture speaks a thousand words, a bad picture just sits there kind of awkward-like.

Being present

The thing with your big day, is that it’s probably going to be- a big day.

Getting-ready photos, wardrobe malfunctions, the emcee has something to tell you, Georgia wants her hug, you forgot your hay fever tablets, and you’re 99% sure nobody invited that guy wearing sunnies at the bar.

Everybody seems to want a piece of you. So what’s left for you?

Well, as a photographer I try to be aware of my presence at your wedding day, remembering that behind every bride and groom, there are two individuals who deserve the space to enjoy their day together.

In the words of the great Alfred Eisenstaedt: “It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.”

The usual spiel

There’s a hundred-and-something wedding photographers around South Australia and you’ve probably realised by now that we’re all losing our minds about timelessness, authenticity, natural vibes etc.

I think you’ve hear quite enough of us nutters chat on about all that,

so check these out.

Some of my favourite work so far…

  • A bride sitting in a vintage white convertible car decorated with a large bouquet of flowers on the dashboard, surrounded by nature with trees and grass in the background.
  • A pair of white high-heeled sandals with bows, placed on an olive green upholstered chair near a window with sunlight casting shadows.
  • A black-and-white photo of a couple in wedding attire, with the man holding a bouquet of flowers behind the woman's shoulders, standing in front of a background of trees.
  • A bride and groom embracing outdoors against a cloudy sky
  • A woman in a wedding dress is buttoning the back of her gown while another person helps, with focus on their hands and the woman's intricate lace dress.
  • A smiling groom in a black tuxedo and bow tie holds hands with a bride in a strapless wedding dress as they walk through a celebration with guests and confetti outdoors.
  • Close-up of a bride's hands resting on her wedding dress, with an engagement ring on her finger.
  • A bride and groom stand closely together outdoors during autumn, surrounded by trees with orange and yellow leaves. The bride wears a white wedding dress and holds a large bouquet of flowers, while the groom is dressed in a dark suit with a tie. They look at each other affectionately near a body of water.
  • A bride and groom sharing a kiss outdoors on a sunny day, with a large tree and rolling hills in the background.
  • People dancing at a lively party or celebration, including an elderly woman in the center, wearing glasses, a black top, and patterned pants, surrounded by smiling guests.
  • A couple in wedding attire holding hands and smiling at each other, walking on a path surrounded by lush greenery and purple flowers.
  • A woman in a floral dress holding a bouquet of flowers standing in a lush, green forest.
  • Close-up of a couple's feet on the beach, with one person barefoot and the other in rolled-up jeans, and a woman in a white dress.
  • A woman wearing a white dress standing on the beach, with her reflection visible on the wet sand. The photo is taken during sunset or sunrise.
  • A couple, a woman in a white wedding dress and a man in a white shirt with suspenders and red bow tie, walking outdoors during a celebration. They are surrounded by people holding cotton candy on sticks, creating an arch for them to walk through. The couple appears happy, with the woman smiling softly and the man smiling widely.
  • A black and white photograph of a bride and groom holding hands under a stone archway outdoors, with trees in the background.
  • A couple holding hands standing in a maze of tall grass outdoors at dusk.
  • A bride in a white wedding dress holding a bouquet walking in a grassy outdoor area, with a man in suspenders and brown pants. Trees with green foliage surround them, and they appear to be running or walking quickly.
  • A couple walking hand in hand in an open grassy field, surrounded by trees and distant mountains under a partly cloudy sky.

Now, allow me to introduce myself…

A young man with dark wavy hair, wearing a denim jacket and gray pants, sitting on a stool against a white fabric backdrop, with green leaves partially visible in the foreground.

Well, much of my free time is spent doom-scrolling Facebook Marketplace for hip-hop CD’s, writing songs for an album that will never exist, and, yes- editing photos.

Beyond that, I’ve taken the art of photography far too seriously for about as long as I can remember.

So, if you want your wedding day photographed by someone who truly loves photography - you’re in the right place.
