Tara and Ollie are the kind of couple who make you believe in all of it. I first had the joy of photographing them for their engagement session, perched on a clifftop overlooking the ocean with the whole of the horizon behind them. They had driven all the way from NSW to Melbourne for that shoot (and I like to think, a little bit for me too!). So when they asked me to come to them in Orange for their wedding, I was completely, genuinely honoured. A stunning garden estate, sunshine pouring through the trees, details that blended modern nostalgia with the most beautiful vintage flair, and two people so deeply in love it was impossible not to feel it in every single frame. Their day was captured on drone, 35mm film and digital, and it was everything

The Engagement

Before the wedding, there was a cliffside and golden light and these two. Tara and Ollie made the trip from NSW to Melbourne for their engagement session, and honestly? It set the tone for everything. Pure connection, total ease, and the kind of energy that makes photographing people feel like the biggest privilege in the world. Scroll through and you’ll see exactly what I mean!

Their Wedding

The estate was gorgeous, the details were thoughtful and considered, and there was joy absolutely pouring out of every corner of that day. The families were so welcoming, the bridal party brought so much fun, and the energy from start to finish was pure magic. But if I’m being honest, the moment that will stay with me forever? Ollie. The second Tara came down the aisle, his voice wavered, the tears came, and I’m fairly certain my brain chemistry was permanently rewired on the spot. His vows were everything. This is the kind of day I got into photography for, full stop.
