THE EXPERIENCE
My Philosophy
Whether this will be first time you’ve hired a professional photographer or not – I want you to have a completely open mind and forget any preconceived thoughts you may have about what this part of your wedding planning.
This is an insight in what it’s like to have me as part the dream team for you wedding day, and my approach to capturing the day you’ve always dreamed about!
THE EXPERIENCE
The only thing I need from you is your trust - Allow me that and we are unstoppable.
Documenting your day honestly and authentically is what allows you look back on your wedding day not only know what it looked like, but what it felt like.
Love is love.
End of discussion.
My goal for your experience with me is to feel more like we’re mates hanging out having a laugh.
You are not going to get strict and confusing posing instructions – It can just take the fun right out of it, and makes everyone feel all stiff and awkward.
It’s about capturing real and true emotions and moments.
I won’t leave you hanging in the breeze, so I will totally give you some guidance along the way if you have any ‘What do I do with my hands?’ moments.
Don't get me wrong, there will still be time for some quiet moments, to soak it all in and just love on each other.
YOUR PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL
It’s not all about sunsets and champagne.
On a wedding day, these real and raw moments are far more important than getting those ‘bangers for instagram’.
These are the moments that move you, and you will always be reflecting on when you look back at your wedding day. And ultimately these are the moments that shape the story of your day.
It’s something I truly value capturing.
LOVE OVER LIKES
When you are looking for the right photographer for your wedding, trust your gut.
The connection has to be there. The vibe is like mates hanging out – and for that vibe to exist, you need a good foundation!
Catching up before booking me can be a great way to connect, and to see if we’re on the same page. If the banter is there, the laughs are plenty and we lose track of time chatting – That’s a great indicator that we’re off to a really good start and lay the foundations for an amazing relationship to develop!
If you catch up with a photographer and conversation is forced, you vary on opinions, and just aren’t gelling, that may be an indication they might not be the right fit for you.
After all, your third wheel for the day has to be someone that you think is pretty rad!

"Glen's easy going nature and big energy had us at total ease and in stitches laughing"
May + Mitch
On our wedding day, although we had never met in person, we felt like we knew Glen and he made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
My Husband doesn't usually enjoy photos and groans whenever a camera appears, but Glen made the experience so easy and effortless that we had a lot of fun.
Glen's easy going nature and big energy had us at total ease and in stitches laughing. He fitted in like one our guests and integrated in to the party, enabling us to enjoy time spent with family and friends.
"Described by our guest as the ‘photo ninja’ he captured some of the most wonderful (and unexpected) memories of our wedding day."
Glenn + Hamish
What can you say about Glen? He is genuinely one of nicest guys you will ever meet and a stunningly amazing and outstanding photographer too boot.
Described by our guest as the ‘photo ninja’ he captured some of the most wonderful (and unexpected) memories of our wedding day.
From playing us his favourite Mariah Christmas songs to getting us to whisper (not so sweet) nothings in each other’s ears. We were made to feel completely at ease…which made being photographed so much easier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Catching up before booking in is a great way to connect, have a good chat about your day, learn what about what is important to you both and answer any questions you might have for me!
It also helps us build the foundations of our relationship!
I'm usually booked 12-18 months out from the wedding. That gives us time to form a great relationship in the lead up, so when the wedding day comes, we've actually already known each other for 12 months+
I. Can we meet you before we book?
I've been photographing weddings since 2014. It is the best job in the world, hands down!
II. How long have you been photographing weddings?
Sweet! Super simple. To secure your date with me, all it requires is a $1000 deposit and the signing of our agreement.
BOOM! Easy-Peasy
III. Everything looks great! How do we book you?
Yes. I don't like the idea of being a 'wedding factory' and in order to give each couple the experience they deserve I only take on a limited number of weddings each year.
IV. Do you limit how many weddings you take on each year?
I totally understand where you're coming from! You do not need to be a professional model to get beautiful photographs.
The way I like to photograph is VERY unobtrusive.
I use a lot of prompts and focus on catching authentic interactions, which really helps get genuine moments rather than awkward and uncomfortable posing!
V. I'm not a fan of being photographed, help?!
Let me show you! Here is an example of a full wedding day:
Kate + Adam's Wedding Day
VIII. What does a full day of photography look like?
VI. How do we receive our photos?
You get your photos in the form of a beautifully presented online gallery. It's a place where you can view, share and download your photos in high resolution.
You even have your very own print store, to place orders to receive your own amazing quality prints
VII. How does the payment schedule work?
$1000 date retainer upon booking, 3 months out from the wedding is 50% of the remaining balance and 1 months out from the wedding is the full and final balance is due.
