Pillars & Palms


I’ve always been captivated by vintage formal wedding portraits. There’s a unique serenity in those moments—a couple poised before a painted backdrop of ornate pillars and elegant palms, embodying timeless love as they lean gently into their chairs, holding their breath to capture the perfect image through an antique lens. Inspired by a stunning 1920 portrait I discovered in a quaint antique store in rural Victoria, I envisioned a way to infuse this tranquillity and elegance into your own pre or post-marital bliss.


I am thrilled to announce my collaboration with the incredibly talented artist Belinda Wiltshire. Belinda nailed the brief & crafted a breathtaking dusty Australian landscape backdrop that radiates warmth and charm. This is your chance to capture intimate portraits that reflect your love, whether you're planning your wedding day, renewing your vows, celebrating an anniversary, announcing an engagement, or simply cherishing a family portrait amidst the captivating Ghost Gum landscape.


This exquisite backdrop can be unfurled at your chosen location—be it your home, a sunlit studio on Melbourne’s north side, or anywhere that embraces soft, enchanting light. I'll be there to capture your moments, making sure you feel relaxed and at ease as we create some beautiful memories together.
