"Where do we begin!

Nick and his amazing crew went beyond our expectations (the photos are only the beginning) genuinely making our special day everything we could of asked for and more.

Nick was incredibly hands on, especially throughout the build up to our wedding day.

Frequently in communication, visiting the site, planning where moments would be captured.

Nick literally wrote our entire wedding schedule out for us that went to plan as smooth as ever!

Even sneaking in some sunset photos which are some of my favourites.

One of our friends in the bridal party was so impressed by the way nick and his crew were on the day, chilled, calm, easy going,  that after she booked them for her wedding too! The proof is in the pudding!"

Tamsyn & Dale

"We had the most wonderful experience with Nick as our wedding photographer and would strongly recommend him to anyone considering him for their special day. We found Nick to be very reasonably priced and extremely clear on the process. He is also friendly, very easy to work with and a lot of fun. Above all, the quality of Nick's work is outstanding. You only have to check out his insta page to see this. We appreciated that Nick took some time to get to know us as a couple before the wedding day and we think this gave him a sense of what we wanted to get out of the photos."

Cameron & Nick

"We were beyond thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Nick! From the moment we first met, his professionalism and passion for his craft shone through, and it only got better from there.
On our special day, Nick brought an incredible energy that added to the joyous atmosphere. He effortlessly captured every precious moment, from the heartfelt exchanges of vows to the exuberant celebrations on the dance floor. His ability to blend into the background while still managing to capture the essence of the day was truly remarkable. Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure, and we cannot recommend him highly enough."

Sherridan & Jordan

"Nick has been super easygoing since the moment I reached out to him. He took the time to set up a Zoom meeting so he could learn more about our wedding and the styles we are looking for. He was super organised, and he even offered suggestions for our run sheet! On the day. I liked how he gave us cues during the photoshoot so we felt less awkward (lol). We received lots of compliments about how stunning the photos were. He also took lots of photos of our guests, so we had something to share with them after the wedding. Nick's photos are exactly the styles that we like, not to mention the wedding film that we received makes us feel like superstars! If anyone is looking for a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend Nick!🧡"

<p>On a sunny spring afternoon, Natalie and Tim said their vows surrounded by loved ones and the breathtaking views of the Victorian countryside. Their wedding day was a perfect blend of laughter, romance, and heartfelt moments that will be cherished forever.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The couple had a clear vision for their wedding, and every element of the day reflected their unique personalities and love for each other. The ceremony took place in a picturesque garden, where the couple exchanged heart-string tugging vows under the clear blue sky. Their promises of forever were followed by a beautiful marquee reception that overlooked the serene surrounds of the Victorian countryside.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The reception was a delightful affair filled with laughter, romance, and the warmth that only a wedding can bring. The marquee was beautifully decorated, with the stunning panorama of the countryside forming a perfect backdrop for their celebration of love. The guests enjoyed the delicious food and drinks, while the couple basked in the happiness of their special day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the evening descended, the newlyweds and I took a short drive to a secluded forest garden nearby. Here, we captured some stunning couple portraits as the sun set, adding to the dreamy effect of their extraordinary day. It was a fitting end to a day that was filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The wedding was made even more special by the efforts of a fantastic team of vendors. Tracey Basham coordinated the event, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The beauty team from Lavish Hair and Beauty Salon and Gloss Makeup Beauty Studio made sure that Natalie looked radiant on her big day. The Potted Cumquat added to the wedding's beauty with their stunning floral arrangements, while The Cake Cottage Albury created a beautiful cake for the couple. Michele Seymour Catering provided the delicious food, and Celestial Entertainment kept the guests entertained throughout the event. Cozza Coffee Van offered a unique touch with their coffee service, and Watercolour Weddings captured the day's events in a beautiful painting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Congratulations to the lovely couple, and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.</p>

An Enchanting Spring Wedding in the Victorian Countryside: The Story of Natalie & Tim

<p>What an extraordinary day! The air was filled with the scent of sweet ice cream and salty hot chips, the sound of laughter, and the unmistakable buzz of an engagement party. The day was all about Daniel and Janay, who had invited their nearest and dearest to celebrate their engagement. Little did the guests know, they were in for a surprise of a lifetime.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the guests settled, enjoying the ice cream and popping prosecco, wedding celebrant Pip from GetMarriedwithPip, pulled back the curtain to reveal the truth. This wasn&rsquo;t just an engagement party, it was a wedding! Daniel and Janay were about to become husband and wife.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The surprise was delivered in the outrageously vibey Kennylover Icecream Parlor. The couple entered to shocked expressions, instantly replaced with joy and tears of happiness. The atmosphere was electric with excitement as the couple said their 'I do's,' marking the start of their journey as a married couple.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The celebrations didn&rsquo;t stop there though. The newlyweds and their guests moved to the reception venue, Welcome to Thornbury, where the energy levels remained high as they suprised the rest of their family and friends and danced the night away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This was a wedding that broke the conventional norms, and that's part of what made it so special. It was unique, personal, and full of surprises, a perfect reflection of Daniel and Janay's relationship. It was an absolute honor to be part of this wedding, to see the surprise unfold and to capture these beautiful moments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This experience was a reminder of the magic that happens when love, creativity, and a sense of adventure come together. It's weddings like these that make my work feel special.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here's to endless days of ice cream and hot chips, Daniel and Janay. You truly deserve it!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">"How does he do it?!?!?!<br><br>Words cannot describe Nick&rsquo;s talent for all stages of the wedding photography process.<br><br>From initial contact we had a strong feeling he&rsquo;d be our guy. Friendly, professional, beyond creative, and able to answer all questions big and small. His expertise meant it get seamless to coordinate how the day would be captured. We had a surprise wedding so the planning was even more complicated, but he made it work!<br><br>All emails and communications were so clear! He also chose a videographer to work along side him and he was incredible too!!!<br><br>On the day Nick seamlessly fit into the ceremony and party. Every single guest has complimented how amazing Nick was at capturing each moment and had everyone feel so comfortable.<br><br>And then&hellip; the photos and videos&hellip; WE CRIED ALL THE HAPPY TEARS!!!!!<br>We will never recover from how amazed and emotional we felt when we saw the sneak peak and then the whole gallery. All photos immediately became our phone backgrounds and printed for the house. We smile so much when we get to see them and share with friends and family. The way the gallery captured every emotion and moment on the day in such crisp quality from the perfect angles&hellip; just wowwww! We are beyond grateful to have Nick capture the most important day of our lives so far.<br><br>Thank you Nick!!!!!!!!"</h3>

A Surprise Wedding - The Love Story of Daniel and Janay

<p>What a dream wedding it was! The sun was high in the sky, the air smelled of summer, and all around was the hum of a celebration. <br><br>It was at their own picturesque family home, tucked away beneath the beautiful Mount Dandenong, that Dale and Tamsyn chose to commit to a lifetime of love. Their "I Dos" echoed in the warm air and kicked off an unforgettable summer wedding. Their love story unfolding amidst the sound of champagne pops and laughter in the air.<br><br>It was an absolute delight to capture their special day through my lens. Their love for each other, and their baby girl Maya, made taking photos beyond easy. Each moment throughout their day was so beautifully unique. As I sifted through the sneak previews, I couldn't help but be amazed at the sheer number of stunning and memorable photographs we managed to capture. Each picture was a stunning snapshot of their day.<br><br>The wedding was nothing short of extraordinary, and it wasn't just because of the beautiful couple at its heart. The vendors outdid themselves with their attention to detail, ensuring that everything was perfect. The partygoers brought a vibrant energy to the event, their laughter and cheer echoing long into the night. Even the weather seemed to be in a celebratory mood, with clear skies and a gentle breeze adding to the charm of the day. The (totally legal) fireworks were a beautiful addition to top it all off as well!<br><br>So here's to Dale and Tamsyn! Their wedding was a beautiful celebration of their love, and it was a pleasure to be a part of it.</p>
<p>Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness together. 🎉🥂👏</p>
