MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Jamie & Elise

Let’s be honest, who actually likes having their picture taken?! For some reason, when there’s a camera lurking nearby, we (including us) tend to freeze up, act flippin’ weird and pretend to be fascinated with our sweaty hands…

This is EXACTLY why we’ve worked our arses off to become photographers! We love nothing more than capturing people having a rad time with their nearest and dearest and allowing them to be who they are. Forget the awkward poses or the forced “say cheese” grimaces - our goal is for you to look at your photos and go “HOOLEY DOOLEY, um, why didn’t anyone tell us how f*cking gorgeous we are?!”

Besides our (self-proclaimed) AWESOME photography skills, we also look forward to not-so-subtly weaselling our way into your life as future BFFs. To this day, we still go on wild camping trips and catch up with some of our “past clients” because they simply can’t get enough of us…no word of a lie.

So yeah guys, if you choose to have us as your photographers, we’ll pour every ounce of our energy into making sure you have the most epic experience ever. Pinky swear.

I’m Jamie,
your Photographer

I might be *cough* AMAZING *cough* at taking photos of other legends but when it comes to being in front of the camera, it’s a different story. But that’s okay, I ain’t got no one to impress (besides you)…I’m lucky enough to already have a beautiful partner, three incredible kids, and a kelpie.

A country boy at heart, and your standard Aussie bloke, my family is my #1 inspiration. They’re my ‘why’. I also have a soft spot for doggos, beers with the boys, exploring the bush, and cracking corny jokes. I’m happiest when those around me are just as happy.

My love of photography started way back when I used to take photos of fish…. for fun… now that I write it, it sounds kinda sillly! Haha but in all honesty, it did, it started from my love for fishing, the outdoors and picturesque landscapes. An opportunity came up for me to second shoot weddings, and now here we are. Shooting 70+ weddings per year all across the country, and I freaking love it.

Also, I promise you, I’m not an alcho (see pic ;)) I just love that pic hehe… how good is fireball.

I’m Elise,
your photographer
and future bff

I have been a primary school teacher for 8 years where I learned the importance of values such as patience, creativity, uniqueness and empathy.
I absolutely LOVE teaching. I love passing on knowledge to little brains that are like sponges, soaking up everything I share with them. But, what I love more, is being “Mum”.

There's this thing I think is amazing, and that's the ability to make time stop still, just for a moment, so you can remember those feelings for the rest of your life. Remember how soft his little cheek was on your nose, how tight her grip was around your finger, how light he felt in your arms, or how in love you felt in that moment.

Let me tell you something…

I didn't get professional photos taken of my first two babies and only my third pregnancy/child, and I regret it more than anything. My passion for photography started after our second child was born, and I’m so glad it did. Capturing life’s special moments for others is something I am honoured to be part of!
