Real, joyful moments captured just as you are.

Hey! I’m Dani – the one behind the lens, chasing golden light, real connection, and all those sweet in-between moments.

Your love isn’t stiff or staged, so your photos shouldn’t be either. I’m all about honest, candid storytelling that feels like you. Whether it’s your wedding day, engagement session, or just a chance to celebrate your connection, I’m here to document the magic – the goofy glances, belly laughs, soft touches, windswept kisses, and champagne pops.

Photography pulled me in because of its power and the way one image can take you right back to a moment, a feeling, a heartbeat. That’s what I’m here to give you: gorgeous, genuine images that bring those heart-bursting feelings flooding back.

No awkward posing, no fake smiles – just you two, completely yourselves, while I quietly (and enthusiastically!) capture the good stuff.

If you’re a laid-back, fun-loving pair looking for a Melbourne wedding photographer who’ll let you do things your way and keep it real, I’m your person.

Let’s make something unforgettable together.

FAQ

How would you describe your photography style?

Fun, colourful, and completely relaxed. I take a documentary approach to capture your day as it actually unfolds. No stiff posing—just an easygoing, ‘come as you are’ vibe that’s an absolute lifesaver for camera-shy couples

How many images do couples typically receive?

I deliver every image that’s worth delivering!
Each package has a different minimum number of images quoted, but these are only minimums.

Have you photographed at our venue before?

Great question! It’s hard to get around to all the venues in Victoria. If I have, fab, easy done. If not, I will always arrange a day to scout the venue and meet the team before your wedding.

What is the cost of your services?

My Rosé Hour package (6 hours) sits at $3,500, and my Golden Hour Glow package (12–14 hours) sits at $5,800. I’m also more than happy to customise packages to suit your preferred coverage and budget.

What is included in your wedding packages?

All packages include:
– my time on the day
– pre-wedding communication and timeline planning
– a minimum number of photos
– a 30-minute engagement session
– an online gallery and slideshow

How long does it take to receive our gallery?

I aim to deliver galleries within around six weeks, although during peak season this may take a little longer.

What should couples know before booking you?

I’m here to make the entire process as easy as possible. I’m completely flexible — I happily offer shorter packages, and my inbox is always open for questions leading up to the day. I’ll help you build out your photography timeline and manage the family photo list so you don’t have to stress about fielding requests. All packages include two hours of travel and a complimentary engagement session, but there’s zero pressure to use it or meet up beforehand if you’re flat out. We do things your way.

What makes your wedding business different from others in the industry?

First, I intentionally cap my calendar at 20–25 weddings a year so I can give every single couple my absolute best energy and full attention. I’m a lot more than just a person with a camera — I can read the room, calm the chaos, hype you up and wrangle a rogue bridal party like an absolute pro. Couples always mention how relaxed the experience was, how easy the communication is and how incredible the final photos are. Plus, I love a good surprise: you’ll get sneak peeks within 48 hours, fun little GIFs mixed into your gallery and a secret post-wedding gift in the mail (but shhh!).
