KIND WORDS
“We fell in love with Jack instantly”
“He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, and after meeting him, we knew we didn’t need to meet any other photographer. Our wedding got delayed for almost 2 years due to Covid, and Jack stood by us, with the utmost patience, comfort and guidance. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding day. Words will not do Jack justice for the memories he helped us create that we will now be able to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Do not look anywhere else. Everything you need in a wedding photographer is right here in Jack. Art gallery worthy photos, the grace and subtlety of a seasoned professional, and someone we can say has turned into a true friend. He is above and beyond the perfect addition to any wedding and absolutely priceless.
Thank you so much Jack.”
Laura & Brenton
“He is so talented”
“There are so many things I want to write about how awesome Jack is! . We LOVE our photos. He’s got great gear – quality cameras, lenses and a drone! We felt so lucky. He even spent extra time with us after our wedding, driving us to an awesome spot to take photos under the stars. The photos are incredible! Jack is kind, thoughtful and funny. I can feel a bit awkward in front of a camera and wanted to find a photographer who felt like a friend, which is exactly what we got with Jack. He was happy to catch up with us a few times before the wedding so we could get to know each other. He made us feel so at ease and I think it shows through in our photos. He is extremely organised. He took time to ask questions to understand the kinds of photos we wanted. He was also realistic about timings and made suggestions about how we could use the time more efficiently on the day. We had a pretty short wedding (ceremony started at 5pm with everything wrapped up by 11pm) so efficiency was key! If you’re considering booking Jack – DO IT!!!”
BEC & NATHAN
“Jack was amazing!!”
“He was so relaxed on the day which made me at ease. He was very professional and just like family at our wedding. So grateful to have jack photograph our big day! Forever grateful for the most beautiful images and memories. He really ran our day so smoothly. Thanks Jack!”
LAURA & TRENT
“JACK WAS OUR HERO”
“Two words: BOOK HIM. […] We had to implement our wet weather plan quite late in the piece and […] Jack absolutely came through. A total professional. And as for the photos? […]. Every photo was so thoughtful, surprising and moving – and I don’t think Jack missed a single one of our guests, yet also managed to capture plenty of all of our
favourite people. Jack went above and beyond and by the end of the night, he felt like a lifelong friend. Thank you Jack!!’”
ARIANA & ANGUS
“Jack is such a champion”
“He goes above and beyond to make sure the photographs for your special event (our wedding in my case) are perfect by studying and getting to know the area and your preferences. Jack has an excellent eye to take advantage of what the weather and moments on the day present too. He is also a top person who is great to have a beer and chat with and is so easy to make mates with.”

why i became a HUNTER VALLEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
For my entire wedding photography career I have been on the road capturing weddings and elopements all over Australia (and the world). The ability to creatively capture stories from every walk of life and the people I get to meet is one of my favourite things about photography.
More and more we found we were asking ourselves where we saw our future.. and it wasn’t in a big city like Sydney. So… where do we go? Frankie and I wanted somewhere that still had close connections to our family, friends, a great lifestyle and access to the great outdoors. It also needed to give us the flexibility to live our best lives in our first home. During a COVID lockdown in 2021 we bought our first home, in Edgeworth! And so we picked up our lives and moved north to Newcastle after living in Sydney for our entire lives.
Making the transition from being a Sydney Wedding Photographer to a Hunter Valley Wedding Photographer has been fun and oh so easy. I already had amazing connections with wedding vendors in the region after capturing weddings up here since 2010. Newcastle has such great access to so many wonderful wedding regions and wedding venues that it was a no brainer that this was the perfect place to be!
I still regularly shooting weddings in Sydney, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Central West, South Coast, and Mudgee. All the while I love exploring new areas and getting to know the Hunter Valley and Newcastle as a local.
What is it like being a wedding photographer in a new area? It’s a joy being able to shoot new locations, capture the world as I see it and meet so many wonderful people in the community. I look forward to servicing the Hunter Valley and Newcastle as a wedding photographer for many years to come.
