gold and grit
Weddings are my favourite type of event. You’re surrounded by all your family and friends, having the most gorgeous day and then you round it off with a smashing party. Really, what could be better than that? Parties are the bomb. I’m all about documenting your hitching in a candid way. Your wedding day should feel fun and relaxed. So there are no stiff poses or cheesy smiles, although I’m sure I’ll make a pun or two

it’s beautiful here
We love the romance, we love the fun, we love the mums, dads, grans and aunts and all the friends just being. Being there for you. And that’s why we love what we do. It’s Beautiful Here is an exploration of ritual and love, observed unobtrusively, documented as an heirloom.
miranda stokkel
Miranda’s passion starting with photographing the people at gigs, (rather than the musicians). She started shooting candid portraits of people at festivals because something about it made my heart go na-na’s and along the way I discovered and completely fell head over heels in love with capturing people at weddings. Lucky for me, weddings are all about atmosphere and people, and that is my jam. Her style is pretty candid and when its not candid, its fun.
MADELINE KATE
So what can I do for you? Priorities: I want to make your day be the BEST it possibly can be. If you’re having a fabulous time then my job is easy. I love getting to know my clients and their story, it goes hand in hand with my work and your final product. My approach is very candid, I will make you feel relaxed (it’s tough work being models!) but I will also guide you with all the directions you need.
LULU AND LIME
For Anna, it’s definitely the people that really make a wedding. A not just the typical ‘wedding-y’ moments - she likes to get your people as naturally as possible. Dad-dancing when no one is watching, your youngest niece having a good old nose pick, Great Aunt Maude sneaking some zzzz’s between courses, the Groom doing a ‘James Bond’ dash across the street (and yes, this actually happened!!) These are just some of my favourite things. Documenting people, their lives and love. As it happens. No posing. Making the ordinary extraordinary
VIDEOGRAPHERS

jac the hitcher
I am a big believer in performing the nuptials your way. There are no rules… okay, so there are a few; you’ll need to include a few short sentences of legal words in front of two witnesses and like, half a dozen signatures… but that’s it in a nutshell! The rest is wide open for you to do whatever tickles your fancy so that your ceremony truly reflects you as a couple.
precious FAWCETT
As an incurable romantic, I want to work with people who are up for making their ceremony something incredible: above all else a ceremony that reflects who YOU are and a day to remember - hopefully with as many laughs and smiles as possible along the way. I don’t care what your gender, sexuality, size or shape is - as long as you’re good people we’ll get along great.
