My style is 70% candid and natural, capturing the real moments as they happen, and 30% gently guided to create beautiful, relaxed portraits without taking you away from your guests for long.

Lisa photographed our wedding in October 2024 and did a maternity shoot last year. Worth absolutely every cent spent. Lisa made sure she understood what we wanted and put her professional expertise in for every moment capture. We would hire her again again. Such a lovely person to work with out her heart and soul into every session.

When I started planning my wedding, I was only picking a date that Lisa was available. Lisa has captured special moments for several of my friends, and I knew she had to capture mine as well. I am amazed how one woman can capture all areas and moments of one event without even being noticed! Lisa communicates the whole way through your event journey and happily accepts any inspirational pictures to make your event/moment extra special! I would recommend Lisa one thousand times over!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Lisa. From start to finish, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was fantastic, she was incredibly professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The photos are simply stunning and captured every special moment so beautifully. Her attention to detail and talent truly shine through in every image. If you're looking for a photographer who is friendly, organised, and delivers exceptional results, we can't recommend Lisa highly enough. Thank you for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

Lisa is lovely. She first helped create a timeline of the day which helped me plan out the rest of my day. I met her the morning of the wedding but it felt like I’ve known her for a life time. Lisa is friendly, funny and professional, she has amazing talent and delivers quickly. Lisa and her work was one of the highlights of our day. Thanks Lisa!!

We had a wonderful experience with Lisa for our wedding. She went above and beyond, her communication was excellent (and quick) and we couldn’t be more happy with our photos. Would happily book again!

Hi! I'm Lisa

I’ve been photographing weddings on the Central Coast for 22 + years and have photographed over 1000 couples.

I’ve learnt that the best wedding photographs aren’t about forcing moments or making you pose all day. They’re about knowing when to step in and when to disappear into the background.

I’m organised, calm, a little bit obsessed with good light, and love making people feel comfortable.

FAQs

I’ve been a wedding photographer on the central coast for 22+ years, capturing more than 1,000 couples across the region and beyond. My photography style is relaxed, timeless, and story-driven, so you can simply enjoy your wedding day while I document every beautiful moment.

Absolutely not, this is why I use my 70/30 approach.

You will have a sneak peek within 24 hours and your full gallery in 1-2 weeks.

Yes! I offer wedding photography packages for both intimate elopements and larger celebrations. Every couple deserves beautiful, heartfelt imagery no matter the size of their day. If you’re planning a smaller celebration let me know in your enquiry.

One thing you cannot change is the weather so we need to embrace it. When choosing a venue please choose one that has a good backup plan in case of weather. For your photos we duck out when we can , shoot under awnings, use umbrellas, whatever is necessary. The shoot goes on and some of my favourite wedding photos have been in the rain.

Your images are delivered through a private online gallery, making it easy to view, download, and share your photos with family and friends. 

A $500 non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your wedding date, along with a signed contract. The remaining balance due one month before your wedding.

If you would like to book the videographer in too she has a separate booking fee of $200.

Absolutely! I actually encourage it. I love meeting up with possible couples. It’s a great way to chat about your vision, timeline, and photography style and to see if we fit well together.
