I was born in Tamworth (NSW) with my twin sister, Lisa. I like to say that I’m the good twin and she is the evil twin but I might be a little biased. I then moved to the Gold Coast to begin primary school and have lived here ever since. I love that I am able to call the Gold Coast my home.
After high school I studied at Bond University where I graduated with a Bachelor in Film & Television. This is where my love for photography began and I often wonder if I would have never gone to University would I have discovered this passion for photography.
I have worked on 3 short films, all of which have been selected into numerous international film festivals including the Cannes International Film Festival (France) , International Film Festival of Cinematic Arts (USA), Palm Springs International Short Film Market (USA) and the Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival (Ireland).
I have had the privileged of photographing weddings all over the world including Greece, Croatia, and the USA. Destination weddings are always a fun experience as it incorporates my other love which is travelling.
My photography work has had the honour of being featured in numerous print & online publications. In addition to this I have also been featured by numerous international media outlets including E! News, ET Canada, People, Huffington Post & the TODAY show, just to name a few.
In 2020 & 2022 I was recognised & named as a finalist for Wedding Photographer Of The Year.
I love to laugh and consider myself a pretty laid back person so when I’m not photographing a wedding here are some of the fun little hobbies you might find me doing.
- Watching way too much TV– I’m obsessed with any true crime documentary. Some of my favourite shows are Schitts Creek, 24, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Prison Break, Criminal Minds, Weeds, Las Vegas, American Horror Story, Homeland, Nikita, Will & Grace, Orange Is the New Black. I will also shamefully admit to watching those trashy reality shows like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills & Million Dollar Listing LA – because balance, right?
- True Crime Podcasts – I am obsessed with listening to a great True Crime podcast. My favourite has to be Crime Junkie
- Keeping fit– I really love working out, I find it therapeutic. Whether it’s going to the gym, swimming or running I like to stay active. Growing up I was a competitive swimmer and swam at the State Championships so I guess that active lifestyle has stuck with me into my adult life.
- WWE Wrestling -Okay, confession time—I’m a huge WWE fan! One of my favourite memories was going to Wrestlemania in the USA where I was screaming & booing with over 100,000 people in a packed stadium.
- Playing with my dogs– I love animals but specifically my 2 Tibetan Spaniels Chino & Ollie! Let’s be honest – dogs just make everything better!
I love photography and consider myself extremely lucky to be able to do what I love. Hopefully this has given you a little insight into me & if my crazy wrestling addiction has not turned you away yet, please get in touch so we can start planning your dream wedding!
