Editorial & Candid Wedding Photography Across Italy & Australia

I’m an editorial destination wedding photographer based seasonally between Puglia, Italy and Melbourne, Australia. Splitting my year across two iconic wedding seasons allows me to document luxury celebrations, intimate elopements, and multi-day events with a relaxed, honest storytelling approach.

From May through September, I base myself in Ostuni, capturing destination weddings and elopements across southern Italy. Operating locally throughout the European summer means I offer zero travel fees anywhere within Puglia, including Lecce, Monopoli, Fasano, and Polignano a Mare.

Whether you’re planning a multi-day masseria celebration or an intimate coastal elopement along the Adriatic, I bring a relaxed, editorial approach to documenting your day so you can just be present and enjoy it.

Destination Weddings in Puglia & Italy

From October through April, I return home to Melbourne to photograph weddings across Victoria and wider Australia, from city celebrations in Melbourne’s CBD to estate and vineyard weddings in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula.

My focus is simple: candid moments, great energy, and a touch of editorial flair. I document the atmosphere and design of your day naturally as it unfolds.

ABOUT ME

Originally from London, I moved to Melbourne a few years ago and quickly fell in love with the place. These days, I’m lucky enough to split my year between Australia and Southern Italy, spending part of my time with my wife’s family in Puglia.

When it comes to weddings, my work sits right between documentary and editorial photography. I care a lot about the overall energy, capturing not just how good you both look, but what it actually felt like to party with your favourite people. Shooting a mix of digital and 35mm film lets me chase the raw, honest moments while making sure your photos feel vibrant, emotional, and timeless.


Nice to meet you, I'm Tim
