Natural and Fun

My promise to you is not only will you walk away with stunning photos you're going to love forever, we're going to have a ball in the process. 'Making people comfortable in front of the camera' is my middle name (long name I know), so if you're wanting to have fun and get the photos you love then let's do this!

By far the most common concern from couples is that they’ll feel awkward in front of the camera or “we don’t take nice photos”.

Guess what, I get it! Standing and smiling in front of a camera IS awkward. So… that’s simply not how this goes.

My number one, that’s right ‘numero uno’ priority of the day is that you’re both feeling comfortable, you’re having fun and able to connect with each other.  The photos are then such a natural extension of this. We incorporate a lot of movement, seamless prompts and ensuring you’re you're feeling your best!

I live for the details. I'm dedicated to document and deliver everything my couples ask for. The album. The photos. The tears shed when you walk down the aisle.

But it’s also the extra tight squeeze between loved ones, the whispered words of advice from your grandparents, or sneaky little hands at the dessert table that will be the memories we know our couples will hold most dearly.

It means I'm going deep to document the good stuff. To follow the light. To prioritise the details unforeseen.

“THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING EVERY AMAZING MOMENT"

PREPARATIONS TO CELEBRATIONS

Photography

Let's keep this simple, because wedding planning can be confusing! I have two main packages. A shorter 'half day' package for ceremony to the start of receptions and my 'full day' coverage which includes both parties preparations and 3 hours into your reception.

FAQS

What’s your style?

Plus icon

Documentative is my approach, capturing what is unfolding around me. Weddings have so many moving parts, emotions and personalities. From absolute ear to ear smiles to quiet moments of romantic connection. I never interrupt a moment and I’ll always have a trained eye looking out for the action. When it comes to your portraits there’s an element of direction. This is so unique and tailored to each couple and can vary from pumping some music to really letting you and your partner slow down and connect.

Why did you start shooting weddings and what keeps you coming back?

Plus icon

Wow, what a great question, so glad to hear you’re so invested in my back story. My very first wedding was photographing two really close friends of mine who invited me to capture their Byron Bay wedding. To tell you I fell in love would be an understatement. At the time I was working in healthcare, I’d been a paramedic as well as an intensive care nurse and was so accustomed to spending time with people on the worst day of their lives. Suddenly, I was experiencing the opposite. There to help capture and preserve the memory of the BEST day of your life. Now that’s something that fills my heart every single time.

Who will be photographing my wedding on the day and how many of you are there?

Plus icon

It will be me (Brendan) there to photograph and lead the charge on your wedding day. I have an assistant that helps me with some administration and behind the scenes type tasks to ensure I’m 100% focused on the photography side of the biz! I also have a team of videographers who I call upon to film throughout the day who have perfectly complimenting styles to mine so if you’ve booked a video add on one of these legends will be there to help.

How long will you be there for?

Plus icon

How long is a…. Stop me, please. By far the most common and popular coverage is both partners' preparations through to some dance floor shenanigans. A rough guide for you here would be 2 hours of preparations before your ceremony through to 3 hours into your reception which naturally ends up being about 8 hours. There’s of course some elements that would change this from first looks to you wanting your epix sparkler send-off captured before being whisked away into the night.

How many photos do we get?

Plus icon

You can expect between 80-100 images an hour of coverage (minus travel time of course, I keep my hands firmly on the wheel). Your images are then uploaded to a secure photo hosting platform where you can easily share with your family and friends.

Do you do videography?

Plus icon

I have a team of videographers who are absolute wizards at their craft that I enlist and work closely with to get you an incredible wedding film. We will create a film that completely matches your photography style and make it the most cohesive process on your day. I work with my videographers so often we almost have a silent language with each other so we never get in each others or your way.

Do you travel outside the Mornington Peninsula?

Plus icon

Whilst I live and breathe the ‘Ninch I do also venture further and photograph loved up couples all around the state and country. In fact, our family loves a winter trip up the east coast so if you’re planning something a little further afield you might find it’s easier than you think.

What’s your wedding photography superpower?

Plus icon

If you’ve done any type of ‘branding’ you’d know of this question. What’s my superpower? What sets me apart? Why choose me? 

It comes down to my experience as a Paramedic, where I learnt so much about communication, behavior and emotion. If you’ve ever seen a paramedic working, you’ll notice they have a sense of ease about them, no matter what’s happening around. I bring a feeling of calm, coolness, I’m sure to walk, not run. I’m a level head that will keep you grounded, smiling and on-track throughout the day. If you want to know the secret to amazing photos… It’s being relaxed and present and that’s what I bring to the day.

What happens if disaster strikes?

Plus icon

Let me start with this, I have never missed a wedding and I have absolutely no plans for it! However, since 2020 hit the industry like a tonne of bricks I have every base covered. I have a network of over 100 Victorian wedding photographers to call upon who, if the worst should happen, would absolutely take good care of you.

What are your prices?

Plus icon

My wedding photography coverage starts at $3600 for a half day package with full day packages from $4400. I have a host of packages available including videography, albums, slideshows and more. For a more in depth view at my pricing and availability fill in your details on my contact page and reach out.

Do you have a payment plan?

Plus icon

Yes, we can organise to split your payments into four instalments. Just let me know if this would suit you.

We LOVE it! We love you! What next?

Plus icon

Oh stop it, you’ll make me blush…. If you’re as keen as I am and I’ve filled you with confidence knowing you’re not only going to have jaw-dropping photos that truly are worthy of the mantlepiece, but you’re going to been relaxed and have a damn fine time on your day then it’s time to reach out to make sure I’ve still got your date available.
