Benjamin Wheeler
I tell the story of your wedding day in a captivating and organic way, working collaboratively with couples who trust me to catch the big moments and the small. I take an imaginative approach, moving with the natural flow of things, shooting predominantly digital, with a little film.

Renee Green
With a background in interior design and landscape architecture, I see light and composition a little differently. I use the surrounding architecture to document the day, and I invest a lot of time in getting to
know couples. I still get so excited about every wedding I photograph.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—UK & Europe from June to August.

Psealms Photo & Film
I’m inspired by small moments: the smell of grass, the sound of wind and genuine human connections. I have an eye for detail, and feel things deeply. I believe a wedding day should be captured as it happens and I create photographs that are authentic.

Amanda Kelly Photography
I have been shooting travel since 2015. My style is natural, candid, and a bit cinematic. I love photos that feel like a movie scene: those split seconds of reaching for your partner’s hand, leaning into each other, moments of love and connection.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—California in June & July; Bali in September; NZ in November & December.

Benny Wylde
You know how some people love the feeling of a weighted calming blanket? Imagine that, but as a person, and that calm weighted blanket person also enjoys shooting weddings. I’m an observer, not
too in your face but also not too much of a fly on the wall. I love to shoot on old 35mm film cameras.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, Iceland, Scotland, England & Ireland, from June to October.

Rachael Khoo
It’s important that we connect as individuals and friends. This impacts the day, how it’s planned, and what the end product looks like. I’m detail-oriented and focused on the narrative of the day, attuned to soaring emotions and the intentional details crafted by the couple. I’m inspired by old world architecture, and the nostalgia and imperfection of film.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—Australia, NZ & Bali in 2024, Europe in 2025.

Meredith Lord
Documentary photography with a relaxed, editorial approach. I like unposed moments, but will offer a little direction throughout the day to help you feel at ease. I love the light and architecture in Europe. It’s always an adventure! I love hearing couples’ stories, how they met, what their story is. I honestly love what I do – it’s a passion, not a job.

Keryn Sweeney
I focus on both the big and small moments, and the connection between the couple and their guests. I love the whole process, from coming up with visual concepts before the wedding to doing all the curating and editing. Each wedding is a personal artistic project for me. I shoot on 35mm and 120mm film and I offer clients either a blend of digital and film, or just film.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—France & Spain in August and September.

I have an editorial eye, and I lean heavily into capturing moments over staged shots. I want your photos to feel like they were taken at a party everyone would have been jealous of not attending. I never get sick
of looking through my family albums for inspiration. They provide the most nostalgic and loving feelings, something I want for my couples when they look at their photos.

Joeyy Lee Photo
I have a clean, cinematic style and love making photos that look like stills from a movie: true to events, true to emotion, highlighting the landscape, utilising the warmth of the sunlight. I’m going to get right amongst it, catching the smiles on your faces and the tears as they fall.

Skye Carter
I make sure I have found common ground with the couples I shoot and that we have laughed a lot. I understand their concerns and priorities and they know I have their back. My couples are fully able to let their guard down and trust me, and I think that shines through in the images I capture. My pictures are honest, emotive and romantic, with a cinematic use of light and attention to detail.
WHERE I’LL BE IN 2024—France, Italy & Spain from June to August.
