OVERVIEW

Hi! My name is Will. I've been photographing weddings full time for 3 years. I’m a little bit different from other wedding photographers. I don't believe in posed photos, I like to capture candid fun and real moments, which reflect your best side and the natural vibe of the day. So for me the most important thing is making sure you and your guests are comfortable and are having an amazing time. The rest is just unobtrusively capturing that joy. 

I’m not great in front of a camera and I guess you need to treat people how you’d want to be treated. So I treat my couples like old friends and their families like my own. I take a step back and allow you to have an amazing time with your friends and family. I’m a fly on the wall, a guest with a camera, and a friend in the background creating an unobtrusive documentation of your wedding.

Every wedding is different so I like to create coverage packages suited to your wishes. I personally photograph the whole day, so depending on the venue, run sheet, timings and your plans, let’s work out a coverage solution that perfectly suits you. If you've just dropped a knee or screamed a giant 'YES!' I'd love to hear about your plans.

About

My name is Will. I've been photographing weddings full time for 3 years. I'm a Melbourne boy who now lives in North Bondi. I shot my very first wedding way back in 2011 in St Tropez, whilst living in France. I did it as a wedding present to a friend. It was my way of giving them a unique gift which they'd cherish forever. They still have a print above their bed. I now travel Internationally and Australia-wide capturing weddings & hanging out with amazing couples and their favourite people.

Will is the BEST! Such a wonderful experience. Will is a real professional. We loved the catch-up where we discussed the vibe of the wedding, right up until the day where Will captured all the shots we had asked for and blended in to the party as if he were one of our guests. People just feel so comfortable around him and this allows for great, natural shots. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Will was amazing. We actually didn't meet him in person until the wedding day and you'd never have known it - we felt really comfortable with him straight away. He blended in with the whole day, never once being annoying! And got the most beautiful shots, most of which were candid and natural - exactly what we were after. My personal favourite was the way he used the light - the photos took our breath away and we get so many comments about how good they are. Will is truly talented and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks again Will.

Will was such an incredible photographer to have as part of our big day. His enthusiasm and energy was vibrant yet he never felt intrusive of our space or our guests. We absolutely love the photos he captured, they reflect the exact feel and emotion of the day.

do i specifically have to tell my photographer what shots i want, or should i trust them

ive read heaps of forums with brides saying their photographer missed the 'dress hanging up shot' etc. to avoid this happening to me, should i be making a list of shots i want for my photographer?

This Day Forward

In the search for the right photographer, look at their larger body of work and align their aesthetic with yours. What ever you do, don’t ask a photographer to replicate another photographers work. Look for the types of photos you'd like captured on your day. Details, flowers, portraits, couple photos, family snaps, candid fun and the vibe of the day. A good photographer will naturally capture the 'essence' of your wedding. If you have specific things / shots you'd like communicate that with them and then trust that they will do their job.
