Kirsten Cunningham Photography

Your people, your place, your party — that’s what it’s all about.

I photograph elevated country weddings that feel as good as they look. The kind where everything feels considered but never overdone — beautiful settings, great energy, and a crowd that’s genuinely there to celebrate. Long tables, late-night dance floors, champagne in hand, shoes off before the night’s over.

My approach is natural and editorial. I won’t over-direct or turn your day into a production — I’ll gently guide when it matters and then step back to let everything unfold as it is. The real moments, the in-between glances, the chaos, the laughter, the quiet breath before you walk down the aisle — that’s where the story lives.

I care just as much about the party as I do about the portraits. The energy of your people, the dance floor going off, your family right in the middle of it all — that’s not the side story, that’s the main event. I’m there for all of it, capturing it in a way that feels honest, elevated, and true to you.

On the day, everything with me is calm, easy, and organised. I’ll keep things moving quietly in the background, make sure you’re in the right light at the right time, and help you feel completely at ease in front of the camera — even if that’s not usually your thing.

Based in Orange, I photograph weddings across the Central West and beyond for couples who want something real, beautiful, and properly fun.

Hey, I’m Kirsten — oh so easy to work with, always up for a good time, and the person behind the camera.

I’m based in Orange, NSW, where I get to photograph weddings among rolling vineyard hills, but I’m originally a coast kid at heart. I’ve somehow ended up in the countryside — and honestly, I love it — but I’m just as happy packing a bag and heading wherever your wedding takes me.

Weddings are my thing. I love people, I love energy, and I love being right in the middle of a really good celebration without ever getting in the way of it. My approach is calm, relaxed, and very go-with-the-flow — I’ll guide you when you need it and let everything else unfold naturally.

I spend most weekends working across Orange, Mudgee, the Blue Mountains, Canberra, the Hunter, Dubbo, and beautiful private properties scattered across the Central West.

I welcome LGBTQIA+ couples with open arms and am always honoured to photograph love in all its forms.

As much as Orange feels like home, I genuinely love to travel. If you’re planning a weekend away, a destination celebration, or something a little out of the way — bring me with you. I’m all in.
