Oh hey, I'm Alex ORME
(That’s Orme - like warm. Which is also how I hope you feel when you see your photos. Oh, and my full professional name is alexandra orme.)
ABOUT ME
Photography isn’t just what I do - it’s what I love
I’m that person who gets excited about golden hour light, who low-key tears up during wedding vows, and who can’t help but squeal a little when the perfect candid moment unfolds.
Trained by Toddlers,
Backed by a Degree
- 16+ Years Experience
- Hundreds of Weddings
- Thousands of Headshots
After years photographing my own little circus (read: my patient husband and our wild small people), I’ve mastered the art of wrangling chaos with a camera in hand. Whether I’m photographing a boardroom or a backyard, I keep things relaxed, upbeat and real.
Armed with a Photography & Media Arts degree from ANU and behind the camera since 2010, I know how to make people feel comfortable in front of the lens – and how to find great light almost anywhere.
Based in Canberra, Working Across the Region
Today, I photograph weddings, personal branding sessions, professional headshots and events throughout Canberra and surrounding areas, including Queanbeyan, Yass, Bungendore and the Southern Highlands. Whether you’re planning a wedding, growing a business or updating your professional image, my goal is always the same — to create photographs that feel natural, comfortable and genuinely you.
If your brand photos are a mix of iPhone snaps, a blurry team shot and that one decent wedding pic from 2016 – you’re not alone. Most small business owners avoid the camera, even when they know they need to show up. I help you look like you, but on a really good day with brand imagery that’s relaxed, real, and ridiculously useful.
What I Photograph
While no two sessions are the same, most of my work falls into four areas:
Wedding Photography
Capturing the moments that matter most, naturally and without awkward posing.
Branding Photography
Helping business owners show up confidently online with images that feel like them.
Professional Headshots
Relaxed, modern portraits for professionals, teams and organisations.
Event Photography
Documenting conferences, corporate events and celebrations with an unobtrusive approach.
