Hi, my name is Simon and I’d love to shoot your wedding.
I’m a photographer and video director based in Melbourne.
My goal in being part of your wedding is just to make your day as fun and enjoyable as possible whilst capturing some great memories you’ll cherish for years to come.
When shooting weddings, my approach is best described natural, candid and documentary-style, with some fun and relaxed portraiture mixed in. I aim to capture you and your loved ones having the best time in a way that isn’t overly rehearsed, directed or stylised.
Below you can find plenty of samples to get a sense of my photographic style and plenty of testimonials from previous clients to give you a sense of how I am to work with. At the bottom of the page you’ll find my pricing guide.
I’m available to travel anywhere within Victoria for either photography or videography.
I try to have options available for all budgets, so reach out with more info about your day and we can talk soon. Even if you’re not sure how much time to book or even what you’re looking for in the early stages of planning your wedding, I’m always happy to help!
