We were lucky enough to have Nate photograph our engagement on a beautiful Saturday sunrise. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease, resulting in candid and authentic captures which we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Nate prioritised the vision and was able to emulate the feeling of the photos i had shared in the lead up to the shoot. He was excellent with communication and prompting us to get the shot!! We can’t wait to have our next milestone captured x

I would like to find people like me with the same values. I spent 15 years working in corporate honing my project management skills and am well versed at problem solving. I shoot in a true to life style and black and white with a focus on capturing the best of people. Write in this style with no oxford commas: my values lay in fun, communication and collaboration. I love capturing joy and adding joy to people's lives, which is why I love photography! It's great being able to add to peoples' special day and fit in with your tribe. It's sad to think about but you never know when a photo will be the last photo taken of somebody and so I take capturing the moment seriously and I know how important these photos are because they are heirlooms.

60-second video highlight reel

La Pera Estate, with its serene beauty and picturesque landscapes, provided the perfect backdrop for Georgia and Nathan's romantic couples shoot. As a photographer, I was thrilled to capture their connection amidst the stunning scenery of this Hunter Valley gem, particularly around the iconic La Pera Estate (formerly Lovedale Chapel) and its surrounding areas.

We started our session at the charming La Pera Estate's wedding chapel. While not a wedding this time, the estate's rustic elegance lent a timeless and romantic feel to the photos, highlighting the depth of Georgia and Nathan's affection for each other. The soft, natural light diffusing across the estate created an intimate yet moody atmosphere, perfect for capturing their tender moments.

From there, we explored the diverse beauty of La Pera Estate. The little undercover boat area provided a secluded and whimsical setting, allowing Georgia and Nathan to relax and be themselves. The resulting photos were filled with natural smiles and genuine connection. We then ventured into the wine vines, where the sprawling greenery and golden light created a magical and romantic ambiance. The vineyard shots perfectly captured the essence of the Hunter Valley and the couple's love story.

The iconic bridge at La Pera Estate was another highlight of our shoot. Here, Georgia and Nathan's joy was palpable, their laughter echoing through the valley. The bridge provided a stunning vantage point, showcasing the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the couple's radiant happiness. An incredible location to bring out the authenticity of a couple!

Throughout the session, I focused on capturing movement and candid / natural moments, allowing Georgia and Nathan's personalities to shine through. Their love for each other was evident in every glance, every touch, and every smile. These images are a testament to their deep connection and the beauty of their relationship.
