A REAL WEDDING · 15 August 2026

RON & JOY

FROM MORNING NERVES TO THE LAST DANCE

THE WHOLE FEELING

A photo-led walk through one very full Melbourne wedding: lively preparations, every essential ceremony moment, family tea traditions, four portrait backdrops and a reception that properly let go.

Ron and Joy's wedding had all the important things in place — the ceremony, the family photographs and time for portraits — without ever becoming too serious to enjoy. From the first round of curlers to the last crowded dance, the day kept finding new reasons to laugh.

WHAT THIS DAY LOOKED LIKE

Ron and Joy's gallery is a good picture of how I work: enough direction to make strong portraits, enough freedom for the day to stay yours, and a camera ready whenever the room does something unexpected.
