event photography that captures the heart & soul of your celebration

There is a commonality in the milestones that we celebrate but it’s how we choose to recognise them that makes them our own.

Whether you’re planning a small intimate gathering to christen your child, or rounding up all of your friends and relatives for a big first birthday bash, a professional event photographer can help you capture it all.

My event photography is for the big and for the small. It’s for the smiles as you laugh with friends, the togetherness of a song and the mums and dads who both want to be in the shot.

These are the moments that form your family. The narrative of your lives. Capture them.

who loves capturing…

your milestones & special events

It’s a well told story that the event that you plan for months and months passes in the blink of an eye. You want to enjoy the moment. Chat to your guests. Be present in the celebrations. But, before you know it the photo opportunity has passed. Or, you’re so caught up taking the photos that you’re not in a single one of them. 

You could let the moment slip by, or you could invest in professional event photography and have your event captured with love, while you enjoy your day.

Let's party

It’s photo time! I’ll arrive 15 minutes early to capture all of your special details and your first guests arrive.

what to expect when you hire me as your event photographer

During the planning stage we’ll discuss the location of your special event and any particular photos you’d like me to capture. We can make a list so no one is forgotten, or take a more relaxed approach.

On the day, I’ll arrive around 15 minutes before schedule. This allows me to capture your decorations, cake and all of the small details before your guests arrive.

My style of event photography is to wander and mingle with your guests. I’ll take a combination of posed and candid shots, as well as the all important moments such as cutting the cake, speeches or christening anointment.

When it comes to birthday party photography, most clients have me capture the festivities until just after the cake is cut. With just a minimum of two hours, I offer flexible event photography services that are perfect for gatherings of all sizes.

frequently asked questions

How do I receive my photos?

Once edited, I’ll send a link to your online gallery. You can download your images in high and low resolution. You have 14 days to download your images before your gallery closes.

Will you travel to more than one location?

Yes, I understand that events such as christenings your celebration is held across two venues. I’ll add my travel time into the booking to accommodate this.

How long will it take to receive my photos?

Officially my turn around time for your initial gallery is two weeks. Generally I’m as excited to view your images as you are, so usually it’s much faster than this.

What does all 'viable' images mean

When it comes to events, I often have to take several photos of the same shot to ensure everyone is looking, no one has their eyes shut and the image is flattering. I’ll select the very best images for your gallery.

Do you take photos of parties held in the evening?

I am a natural light photographer which means I don’t use a flash. If your event is held during daylight savings or has good natural light, I’d love to capture it for you. If it is indoors with little to no natural light a photographer who works with this style of lighting would best capture your event for you.
