Our approach is candid and photojournalistic, allowing you to relax, be yourselves and fully enjoy your wedding day together.
Rather than interrupting the celebration with constant posing, we quietly observe and capture genuine moments as they naturally unfold—the laughter, the tears, the embraces and all the little moments in between. We want you to spend time with your favourite people, celebrate your love and soak up every moment of the day.
When it's time for your couple portraits, we'll provide gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable and confident. We never force awkward poses or expect you to fit into traditional wedding roles. Instead, we photograph the connection that's uniquely yours, creating natural, authentic images that reflect your relationship.

Yes! We know that it is very common for wedding photographers to present styled shoots as their wedding portfolios.
Styled shoots are done under conditions that the photographer fully controls: professional models, no time constraint, no stress, no change of weather and a lot of take 2s!
Unfortunately, they do not accurately represent the ability of the photographer to work in real-life situations or the quality and style of photographs that will be delivered to a client.We are proud that all the photographs you see on our portfolio were taken from real weddings with couples just like you. So what you see is what you get!

"We're so awkward in front of the camera."
It's probably the sentence we hear more than any other.
The good news? Almost every couple says this before their wedding day—and all the photos you see here on our website, is couples just like you!

Although most of your day is photographed candidly, there are moments when a little guidance helps.
During your couple's portrait session, we'll gently lead you into beautiful light and scenic locations, then encourage you to simply spend time together. simple interactions create photographs that feel authentic because they are authentic.
Rather than asking you to hold uncomfortable poses, we create opportunities for you enjoy each other and your loved ones.

Every wedding is unique, so we'll help create a timeline that suits your venue, season, and priorities. -
The right amount of wedding photography coverage depends on your timeline, travel between venues, and what moments you'd like captured. During our consultation, we'll chat about your plans and guide you on the coverage that best suits your wedding day.
As a general guide:
3-hour coverage – Ideal for intimate weddings and elopements. This usually includes the ceremony, family and friends photos, couple portraits, and either one partner's preparations or the beginning of your reception.
6-hour coverage – Perfect for couples wanting the key moments captured, including both getting ready, the ceremony, family and group photos, couple portraits, canapés, and the start of the reception.
8-hour coverage – Our most popular option. It allows plenty of time for both preparations, a relaxed couple portrait session, family photos, a sunset or golden hour session, and all the important reception moments.
10-hour coverage – The ultimate storytelling package. From the excitement of getting ready through to the dance floor and your grand exit, this coverage captures your entire wedding day without feeling rushed.
Every wedding is unique, so we're always happy to help you choose the right coverage based on your plans rather than simply the number of hours.

There's no right or wrong answer. It really comes down to your personalities, your wedding timeline, and how you imagine experiencing your day.
A first look can create an intimate moment together before the ceremony and allow more flexibility with your photography timeline, while many couples prefer the emotion of seeing each other for the first time as they walk down the aisle.For a more detailed pros and cons, read our guide:First Look: To do or Not to do?

“Florent and Angel were a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and responsive. Our wedding photos are lovely and we had so many to choose from to curate a beautiful album of our special day. Florent is very calm and good-natured and made everybody feel comfortable on the day. His approach is to capture natural moments but was also very good in getting everyone together for family/friend shots etc.
We chose Florent because of his great portfolio, excellent value and professionalism. Also, we felt comfortable knowing that he specifically mentioned his support of LGBT weddings on his page. Thanks for capturing our special day so well Florent! Highly recommended.”
Troy & Dallas, Kirribilli
