Editorial & Candid Wedding Photography Across Italy & Australia

I’m a British editorial destination wedding photographer based seasonally between Puglia, Italy and Melbourne, Australia. While deeply rooted in Southern Italy's historic masserie and Victoria’s premier wine regions, I document luxury celebrations, intimate elopements, and multi-day events across Italy, Australia and worldwide.

From May through September, I base myself in Puglia, Southern Italy, capturing destination weddings and elopements throughout the region and across the country. Living locally gives me deep, hands-on familiarity with iconic venues in Lecce, Monopoli, Fasano, and Polignano a Mare.

While Puglia is my seasonal home, I am available for celebrations right across Italy, including Tuscany, Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, and beyond. Whether you're hosting a multi-day masseria weekend or an intimate coastal villa wedding, I bring a relaxed, editorial approach that lets you focus entirely on celebrating with the people who matter most.

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 life by the bay. These days, I’m lucky enough to split my year between Australia and Italy, spending the European summer based with my wife’s family in Puglia while documenting weddings right across the country.

When it comes to weddings, my work sits right between documentary and editorial photography. I care deeply 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 raw, honest moments while making sure your photos feel vibrant, emotional, and timeless.

Nice to meet you, I'm Tim
