Hey, I’m Russell, husband, dad, and photographer based in Melbourne’s west.

I love being curious and finding the little in-between moments that often go unnoticed. For me, it’s all about family, fun, and soaking up every second of this wild ride we call life.

Let’s capture it together!

Before

“I believe photography should feel natural, fun, and stress-free. My role is to blend in, capture the real moments, and give you images that feel true to your day.”

From the moment you reach out, I’ll make the process simple and stress‑free.

  • I respond quickly so you’re never left waiting.

  • We’ll chat about your vision, timing, and what matters most to you.

  • Packages are clear and straightforward, with no hidden extras.

  • I only take on a limited number of weddings each year, so you’ll always have my full attention.

On The Day

Your wedding day should feel natural, not staged.

  • My style is documentary — I capture moments as they unfold.

  • I blend in with your guests, keeping things relaxed and fun.

  • I’ll give gentle direction only when needed, so you can focus on enjoying the day.

  • From the big moments to the little details, I’m there to tell the full story.

After

The excitement doesn’t end when the day is over.

  • You’ll receive a sneak peek the night of your wedding. Yep! No lie there, I want you to reminisce the day with my photo’s, not aunty Kath’s horrible phone shots.

  • Your full gallery will be ready in 3 weeks, beautifully edited in my clean, crisp style.

  • Expect hundreds of images that reflect the real emotions and atmosphere of your day.

  • Everything is delivered in an easy‑to‑use online gallery, with printing options and easy sharing with family and friends. I also deliver a USB with all your photo’s so need to download them all.
