Your Wedding Photography Experience In Melbourne & Puglia
Whether you're planning a wedding in Melbourne or celebrating in Puglia, my goal is to create photographs that feel natural, timeless, and true to your story. Below, I'll walk you through the experience of working with me, from our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery.
let's begin
We’ll start with a casual chat over coffee or a video call so I can get to know you, hear your story, and understand what matters most to you on your wedding day. This is a chance for us to connect, talk through your vision, and make sure you feel completely comfortable moving forward. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and confident that everything photography-related is taken care of..
First things first
01
Once you decide we’re a good fit, we’ll make it official with a contract and deposit. Once the contract is signed and deposit received, your wedding date is officially secured in my calendar.
Then we’ll start planning your timeline together. I’ll send over a questionnaire about must-have shots, family dynamics, any special considerations, and will happily work alongside your planner if you have one.
Making it official
02
I arrive fully prepared with professional equipment and backup gear, ready to document your wedding as it unfolds. From the big moments to the quieter moments in between, my focus is on telling the story of your day while allowing you to stay present and enjoy every part of it.

Within 72 hours of your wedding, you'll receive a selection of preview images to share with family and friends while the excitement is still fresh. I then carefully hand-edit each image to create a gallery that feels natural, timeless, and true to your day. Every image is individually selected and edited to ensure your gallery feels cohesive, authentic, and full of emotion. Once your gallery is ready, you’ll receive your images through an easy-to-use online gallery where you can download, share, and revisit your memories anytime.

I normally suggest booking your engagement session about 2-3 months in advance of your wedding day. Do not wait until the last minute because you will have plenty on your mind as your big day approaches.
Planning
03
I love it when couples pick a location that is special or sentimental to them in some way! I can also help you decide on a location. Lighting & backgrounds are very important so keep that in mind!
Locations
02
Weather can be unpredictable. We will keep an eye on the weather as your day approaches so that we can reschedule if needed. Please be flexible because this location will likely be an outdoor location.
Weather & Rain
01
I love capturing all the minute little details you’ve chosen to be a part of your very special wedding day! Once i arrive at your location ,i take about and hour to photograph and style the details. I highly recommend choosing a getting ready location that has natural soft lighting and keeping the area clean of food & trash.
It would be best if you can put all of your rings, jewelry, shoes, veil purse, perfume, accessories, invitations and anything you wan photographed separately in one spot for me. Unwrap your dress so that I can photograph it as well, don’t worry about styling it – i’ll hang it in the best place! And don’t forget a nice wood or metal hanger for your dress. Plastic one’s are just not cool.
Your wedding day is the single most important day of your life
GETTING READY
SEE FOR YOURSELF!
should we do a first look?
First looks are a great way to take a breather before the craziness of your ceremony begins. The photos capture you and your partner in a quiet sweet moment before the wedding. This is the moment when you first see each other and you can get it all caught on camera. I highly recommend opting for a first look. I promise you won't regret it!
FIRST LOOK
I will take a photo of the ceremony venue before guests arrive. This will capture the ambiance and decor of the space and will provide a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony photos. I will be sure to capture photos of the bride and her escort walking down the aisle. This is an important moment and should be captured from multiple angles. Capturing he groom's face as he sees the bride walking down the aisle is sooo important. This is often an emotional moment that the couple will want to remember forever. Remember to work closely with your photographer to ensure that you get all the shots you want and that the photos capture the unique personality of your wedding ceremony.
