Canberra, Snowy Mountains and South Coast Wedding Photographer

Relaxed – Authentic – Timeless

Capturing the day as it unfolds and creating a relaxed experience and beautiful photos with your person.

Congratulations! What an exciting time for you guys!

I am so happy that you’re here and considering me as your wedding photographer.

As this may be your first time being in front of a professional camera, if you think you’re going to feel awkward, that’s totally okay! I’ll help you ease into poses and drop a few dad jokes to make sure you’re not focused on the camera but still getting those beautiful shots you’ll want to hang all over the house.

While i’m based in Canberra I also travel to capture weddings in the Snowy Mountains and South Coast. If you’re looking for authentic, fresh and timeless images that won’t date 5, 10 or 50 years down the road, you have come to the right photographer!

My wedding photography packages include high res digitals on a custom USB, an online gallery to share with friends and family and options to purchase beautiful prints, canvases and albums. You can choose to create a personalised Album Registry for your guests to contribute to which goes towards a beautiful wedding album.

Your wedding day is something that goes by so fast that investing in your wedding photographer is one of the best decisions you’ll make for your day.

An inquiry and chat about your wedding is obligation free. I would love to work with you but also want to make sure you like me (because i’m going to be spending a little bit of time with you on your day!).

WHAT MY BEAUTIFUL COUPLES ARE SAYING

We honestly could not have asked for better. Alex is super friendly and lets you do your thing. She gives great guidance but you soon go into your own little world and she is there to capture those moment so perfectly. Alex has great communication and is just such a great person. We had such a fun day and Alex was seriously amazing and her photos are stunning.

We were absolutely delighted with Alexandra’s work at our wedding. The photos that she produced were beautiful and she was a pleasure to be around on the day. Alex was cheerful, unobtrusive, and professional. She captured the day beautifully and provided the perfect balance of providing helpful suggestions and stepping back to document the afternoon.

Extremely impressed and overjoyed with how my wedding photos turned out! I had spent quite a bit of time researching and comparing galleries between many photographers, but Alex was always at the top of my list. When I actually got to meet Alex and discuss exactly what I was looking for - I was sold!

She was even able to add another photographer to our package with super short notice, which I am forever grateful for.

I am so happy with the final gallery and can not recommend her enough!

We are extremely happy with our wedding photos! Alexandra captured every moment, moments even when we didn’t realise she was there.

There is not one photo that we do not love, thank you.

I am so absolutely delighted with the work Alexandra did for my wedding. She was friendly and fun to work with, and managed to take the perfect photos while remaining entirely unobtrusive. She worked well with everyone: from teenage boys to my 7 year old flowergirl to my grandmas.

She is truly talented, and was able to wrangle my huge family into position for photos together (which we haven't done in years).

She has a very good eye for lighting, background, and poses - she positioned us perfectly when we had no idea how to stand, and the photos look absolutely perfect.

Alexandra was an absolute dream to work with! I've always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera and she made us all feel relaxed and casual with seemingly no effort at all.

We loved that she was able to capture the personality of our group as well, some really fun photos came out of it that we'll cherish forever.

Wedding Photography FAQ's

Where are you based? Do you travel for weddings?

I am based in Canberra but love to travel, so I can certainly come to you! There is a small travel fee for weddings 1 hour or further from Canberra and one or two nights accommodation will be included on packages for weddings a bit further out than that.
I have some special offers on bucket list weddings so check to see if your wedding qualifies for some special deals to get them ticked off!

Do you shoot LGBTIQ+ Weddings?

Heck yes! I would be completely honoured to capture your special day! Bring on more beautiful and inclusive weddings!

What is your style of photography?

My style is a mix of traditional and modern. I like to create timeless portraits but as a candid photographer I also know that the in-between interactions are usually the most special. Sometimes you won't even know I'm there! With my experience in childcare, I have cultivated exceptional child and adult wrangling skills. I'm comfortable creating images using both natural and artificial light but most importantly, we'll create beautiful images that look and feel like you.

Can I have a second shooter?

While I primarily shoot solo as I feel confident I can capture your day in its entirety, for weddings that are rather large or have distances between wedding parties, I am more than happy to bring on a second shooter for you. Just let me know if you would like to include one in your wedding photography package.

How many images will I receive from the day?

I usually deliver between 50-100 images per hour. So it depends on which package you choose. Please rest assured I deliver all photos I feel meet my artistic standard and only get rid of the blinking and blurry photos. There will definitely be some bloopers for your viewing pleasure!

I'm really awkward in front of the camera!

Me too! But that's why you hire a professional. While I like to shoot a lot of candid moments, when it comes to the family photos or important one on one time with just you two or your wedding party, I have a few simple posing techniques to make you feel as good as you'll be looking.

How much photography coverage do we need?

That all depends on your day and what you would like captured. Some people want me to capture the whole day, including hair and make up and stay all the way to the end when everyone gets on the dance floor (and gets a little messy). I recommend 8 hours for that. For the lovers who don't want the pre wedding captured, but would still like some one on one time and the reception, the 7 hour package will cover that. If you're still not sure, I'm happy to figure it out with you!

Have you shot at my venue before?

If you're having your wedding around Canberra, there's a high chance I have, but if I haven't, I always do a location scout to make sure I'm familiar with the area and find where we can get some beautiful images.

Do you require a meal on the wedding day?

If coverage goes over 6 hours, a meal would be most appreciated! A meal and a short break give me a little time to re-energise and prepare me for capturing the rest of your reception.

What do you mean by high res images?

All images I deliver to you are edited and delivered via an online gallery and a custom USB. The online gallery provides you with download options suitable to share on social media and the USB has images that are suitable to print. All images are delivered as a final product. This means that basic exposure, colour correction and temperature have all been tweaked, to get the bold and timeless images you can see in my portfolio. (This also means that I do not deliver RAW files as they are not a finished product.)
While I sometimes remove the odd blemish, I like to keep things pretty natural. If you would like a more extensive edit, such as removal of bags under the eyes, fly-aways, removal of background objects and changing the size and shape of body parts, this all fall under Retouching. If you would like images retouched, they are charged per image.

I want to book you for my wedding! What comes next?

Perfect! Shoot me through an email or give me a call and we can set up a time to meet face to face and you guys can tell me all about you and your wedding and I can give you more information on my wedding photography packages, pricing and answer any questions you may have.
