More Than Just Photos.
It's About the Feelings.
When I photograph a wedding, I’m not just turning up with a camera.
I’m stepping into one of the most important days of your life. And I don’t take that lightly.
My approach is super relaxed. I won’t be barking orders or making you stand stiffly in awkward poses. Instead, I’ll gently guide you when needed and otherwise just blend into the background, catching the real stuff—the teary glances, the belly laughs, the little in-between moments you didn’t even realise were happening.
Over the years, I’ve found that the best photos come when you feel comfortable, seen, and like yourselves.
That’s why I always take the time to get to know each couple, learn your story, and make sure the whole experience feels easy, natural, and fun.
A Smooth, Simple Experience from Start to Finish
From the first message you send, I’m here to make things easy.
Whether you know exactly what you want or you’re still figuring it all out, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
We’ll start with a relaxed chat to get to know each other. From there, I’ll help with timelines, locations, even little tips I’ve picked up from hundreds of weddings.
On the day, you won’t need to think about a thing—I’ll be there capturing it all, calmly and quietly, so you can stay present and soak it in.
And after the day? You’ll get a beautiful collection of images that tell the full story—not just how it looked, but how it felt.
My Style Is All About Real Moments
Forget stiff poses or forced smiles. I focus on the in-between moments—the way you look at each other when no one’s watching, the hugs, the chaos, the quiet.
That’s the good stuff.
Gez has an effervescent, laid-back personality which immediately disarms you, making you feel relaxed and comfortable – a perfect environment for any shoot!

Your Story Starts Before the Wedding Day
Engagement sessions are more than just pretty pictures.
They’re a chance for us to connect, have some fun, and get you both feeling relaxed in front of the camera before the big day.
Whether it’s a beach walk at Newcastle, a golden-hour stroll through the vines in the Hunter Valley, or a cosy at-home session with your pup, these sessions are all about capturing who you are - no pressure, no posing, just real moments.
Most couples tell me this shoot was one of their favourite parts of the wedding journey.
It’s chilled, it’s fun, and it gives you a beautiful set of images to mark this exciting season of life.
The Full Wedding Day Experience
From the quiet anticipation of getting ready, to the laughter over speeches and the chaos of the dance floor—I’m with you for it all.
My goal is to document your day as it unfolds naturally, so you can relive every emotion later.
““He really is the best of the best, it’s so evident he is brilliant at his craft””

Super8 Wedding Films
Being a creative means I’m always pushing the boundaries to stay in focus - to stay sharp.
Capturing a special day in a way so unique to your own love is enough of a reason to invest time, effort and experimentation in using vintage film cameras at weddings to capture amazing cinematic moments.
Super8 films have always been a leisure of love - holding that special meaning when always reliving it and knowing what was captured on the day will only be viewed once the film is processed and scanned in.
This add on shot alongside my photography is just another reason why I love what I do for the special clients I get to work with.
