THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT DAYLESFORD & MACEDON RANGES
I’m an editorial wedding photographer splitting my year between two distinct seasons: summer in Melbourne and peak wedding season in Puglia, Italy.
When I’m in Victoria, I’m based right here in Melbourne. Having Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges just over an hour away means I know the region inside out, from the historic estates on Wombat Hill to the quiet, secluded forest spots around Mount Macedon.
Because I’m local during the Australian season, you get a photographer who is genuinely familiar with the area and knows how to navigate a Daylesford wedding day seamlessly.
Nice to meet you, I'm Tim

Ultimately, I care that you actually enjoy your wedding as much as you love the final images. The right photographer blends in, lets the room breathe, and captures the natural emotion without turning your day into a non-stop photo shoot.
