Their work spans Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Australia-wide and Internationally, and is known for their ability to put clients at ease, resulting in genuine, heartfelt images. Ashleigh also shares her expertise through global workshops and mentoring for photographers and videographers.
Photographing over 800 weddings and a psychology degree in my back pocket, I know how to create space where people feel safe, seen, and celebrated. I work with couples who care deeply about the experience, not just the photos — those who want directed yet documentary, honest storytelling with a side of fashion editorial. My approach is intentional, heart-led, and full of cheeky laughs, helping you feel like yourself (but even more iconic) in front of the lens.

Joel is the calm creative energy you didn’t know you needed. As my right-hand man, assistant photographer and drone aficionado, he brings a keen eye for detail, and candid storytelling through 35mm film, and buttery content that hits just right. Whether he’s capturing the in-between glances or editing reels that make you cry (in the best way), Joel’s role is all about elevating your experience and delivering layers of magic that feel effortless but intentional. You’ll spot him drone in one hand, film roll in the other, documenting the day in a way only he can.

Diane is joy personified. As my go-to associate photographer and second shooter, she’s not only incredibly talented but also the kind of person who makes you feel instantly comfortable. She knows when to step back and observe, and when to step in and cheer you on. You’ll find her right there with us on most wedding days, quietly capturing all the beautiful moments you didn’t even realise were happening, and hyping you up like you’ve just stepped onto a Vogue set. She’s the secret sauce to our dream team energy.

HEARTFELT EDITORIAL MEETS DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY
images THAT feel like you.
I didn’t always know I’d end up a wedding photographer, but looking back, it was inevitable. I’ve always been drawn to people. Their quirks, their stories, the little in-between moments that say the most. With a background in psychology and a camera that quickly became an extension of my hand, I found myself falling in love with the raw, real, and joyfully imperfect.
Thirteen years and 800+ weddings later, this “job” still gives me goosebumps. But what lights me up even more now is knowing it’s no longer just me. We have grown into a team of handpicked creatives who share the same passion for connection, presence, and honest storytelling. Together, we’re bringing a whole new meaning to wedding photography, more support, more perspective, more intention behind every frame.
This isn’t about staged moments or cookie-cutter galleries. It’s about making you feel seen, safe, and celebrated. Telling your story exactly as it is, with a whole lot of heart (and the occasional cheeky laugh, of course).
our story
There’s intention behind every click of the shutter but it starts long before we ever pick up a camera. I don’t believe in surface-level. Before we shoot, we’ll jump on a call and get to know each other — not just the ‘what you do’ part, but the why, the spark, the story behind it all. Because capturing your love story in a way that actually feels like you means understanding your heartbeat, not just your mood board.
values
intention
Around here, we value connection over perfection, presence over performance, and storytelling that’s rooted in truth. If you’re after photos that look good but feel even better, you’re in the right place.
