About Me

Short Bio

Hi, I'm Kevin

I started taking photos as a kid with basic film cameras and it taught me one important lesson – make it count, you only have 24 shots! Then I spent years working/backpacking (I used to be a chef) around the world. I wanted to capture images of everything I saw. I was drawn to colourful landscapes & portraits of the interesting people I saw in faraway lands. When my images were not representing my experiences I pursued an education in photography. I refined and perfected my skill. Then my 2 sons were born & I naturally pointed the camera at them. Soon my friends wanted me to take pictures of their kids, then came family & friends weddings. My evolution from enthusiastic amateur to professional has been totally organic – I never set out to make it my job, but all those years with a camera in my hand have given me an eye for capturing emotions & so, wedding photography has found me. I live in Northern NSW, Australia. My work is mainly local but I do travel for clients - special preferences given to tropical climates with waves or Japanese snow resorts.

My style combines classic portrait photography and candid documentary style with a relaxed feel. I want the moments captured from a wedding day to stay timeless for the years to come and be vibrant with real life colour. In my approach to the day, I love being both in the action and hiding in the sidelines. It’s a balance between observing, and capturing the little moments, stepping in to give gentle guidance where needed. I’m also so much more than someone who just takes your photos. I’m there for you throughout this whole experience – from the very beginning, to the very end.
