Melbourne Wedding Photography That Captures RAD Couples Being in Love.

WHAT I OFFER:

My goal is to make you feel like the BABES that you are. Getting photos taken can sometimes feel intimidating - I get it! That being said, I am here to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, make you laugh and be there for you on the day. No silly poses that make you feel uncomfortable, just genuine love and fun vibes. Promise. Also, let’s be honest, it’s your wedding day and you deserve to feel like a gazillion bucks. Alongside providing the most bangin' wedding photos you have ever seen (obvs), I promise to have FUN with you, and remind you constantly how rad, beautiful and amazing you are.

WHO ARE MY COUPLES?

You are the kind of couple who loves adventure and dreams BIG. We get along over our agreed stance that MEMES are a great way to communicate and to never underestimate the power of a good GIF. You are kind, compassionate and a bit of a softy. You cry in rom-coms and aren’t afraid to show it. You think love makes the world go round and you see beauty in the tiny details. You value memories, stories and people. You love making someone’s day and you believe that it’s the small things that count.

Chit Chat

  • “Can we meet you before we book?”
  • Of course! I love meeting my couples first to ensure we are on the same page and that we are a good fit for one another. This is a great opportunity for us to go over my process along with answering any questions you may have. If you prefer, we can Facetime or Zoom, or chat face-to-face with a wine in hand!
  • “Do you photograph internationally?”
  • Sure do. Outside of Australia, I have shot weddings in Canada & New Zealand, and would love to photograph your wedding in some far off magical place. For International weddings I require return flights be covered and ask that at least 3 nights accommodation & car rentals are paid for.
  • “Can we add more hours to our coverage?”
  • You Betcha! Each additional hour is charged out at $400/hr for weddings, and $600 for couples shoots.
  • “Can you make us a wedding album?”
  • I never thought you’d ask. You can purchase a Fine Art Wedding album on it’s own for $1500, or if you decide to go with my deluxe package, it is included in the price (and you save a bit of moola when you pre-order!). Each hardcover album is handmade using only the finest materials and printed on museum-grade paper.
  • “Do you photograph elopements or micro weddings?”
  • A lot of people tire of all the fuss and want to just run away to get married, with no rules but their own…and why the heck not? Elopements are SUPER intimate, romantic and let’s be honest, a bit badass. They are also a great option for couples that would rather spend money on their honeymoon than a massive wedding. So yes, yes I DO!

More about the vendor team

I began taking photos when I was about 10 years old. Back then, it was all film, a medium that had taught me how to slow down, take my time, appreciate the small moments. Film taught me a lot. You really had to carefully choose when you were going to "hit that clicker” and freeze time.

For me, photography is exactly that: Freezing time. Holding moments. Sharing the past with the future. Whether the moments are happy, sad, mundane…they all tell a story, which is why I’m here.

Photographing weddings for me is all about telling that story. I want to make sure that my couples feel represented, heard and that their love story is captured authentically, carefully and lovingly through my lens.

Other than capturing your love, I promise to offer the funnest of vibes, lots of laughs, guaranteed 5-star reviews from your guests, and of course, to make you feel like the babes that you are.

Laura

“Laura was absolutely amazing! Her beautiful and relaxed approach helped us to be comfortable and be ourselves. She was completely inconspicuous throughout the wedding and caught special moments that I didn’t even know were happening. I was blown away with the final result. I highly recommend!!”

"Laura is incredible! From our first interactions with her, we knew she was the photographer for us! You can tell that she has a genuine love for photography and also a genuine care for her subjects!"
