All Day Photography

Looking to get everything from getting ready in the morning, through ‘til after the first dance? This one’s for you. I’ll be there the whole day, blending in with your guests and getting stunning photos of you and your loved ones having a blast at your wedding.

Photography and Video

The best of both worlds, all day photography with a professionally edited 4-7 minute video as well! Relive your special day over and over again with stunning photos, and a video that brings the memories flooding back to you.

About the photographer

Hey, I’m Grae! I’m a photographer, dumpling fiend, and all around nerd who loves the sea. I love my work, and have been known to throw myself bodily into a puddle to get the right shot for my clients.

I care about what I do, and care more about making my couples feel comfortable while also creating epic images that’ll make your jaws hit the floor. I believe everybody deserves to see their love photographed in a way that feels natural to them, so I meet you where you are. Whether that’s splashing about in the waves, eating pizza, or traipsing through a field, I’m here for it.

If that sounds good to you, get in touch. I can’t wait to work with you.
