Meet your Photographer

I’m Amelia, I’m the lead photographer and I don’t take photos. I direct, compose, and feel them. Whether I’m photographing a veil in golden light or shaping a campaign in the studio, I bring obsessive care and emotional clarity to everything I shoot.

  • Having Amelia at our wedding was the best decision we made. She is not only incredibly skilled, but also an absolute delight to work with. So many of our guests commented on how lovely and professional she was. From the very first phone consult, she explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the whole process feel easy and seamless. In the lead-up to the wedding, she stayed responsive and supportive whenever more questions came up. On the day, she was fantastic — arriving early to scout the property and plan locations for our photos. She captured every detail from getting ready to flat lays with so much care and creativity. Even when the schedule ran behind, she stayed calm and made us all feel relaxed. And the final photos? They’re absolutely incredible. I’m blown away by the editing and storytelling.

  • Amelia was absolutely amazing to work with. She made my whole family feel so comfortable, and the photos never felt forced or awkward. The entire experience was natural, easy, and enjoyable. We’re extremely happy with the final outcome — the images are beautiful — and I would recommend her without hesitation. Truly the best photographer I’ve worked with.

  • We both came out of our comfort zones and created some insane work. Thank you so much again for helping my vision come to life, I’m truly so happy!

  • I felt instantly comfortable with Amelia! She has a warm presence and great energy that made me feel safe to be myself. She has a gift for creating safe, expressive spaces which results in images that look and feel authentic and natural!

  • We are absolutely in love with Amelia and her work. As a photographer, Amelia has a fabulous eye that manages to capture not only the forms and colours, but also the feelings and energy of her subjects. There is an almost painterly quality to her work, particularly in her intimate portraiture. At the same time Amelia is able to convey the life and energy of more active scenes, but still with the delicate use of light that is one of her signatures. Amelia is currently our most wanted photographer … Her warm and friendly personality, her willingness to give anything a go, and her stunning work makes Amelia a wonderful creative partner. She is punctual, professional, imaginative and creative, but can easily work to a brief. We can’t wait to see how she grows and succeeds in her career.

  • Amelia has a rare gift … she sees people not just poses. Her photography holds emotion, presence and purpose in perfect balance. Each frame carries a quiet power, revealing not just how we look but who we are. Some of my favourite captures have been through her lens …. timeless, editorial and deeply felt. Amelia brings sensitivity, strength and a soulful eye to her work and it shows.

  • Love Amelia! She’s so down to earth, warm, and pleasant beyond words—made us feel at ease which was great for two novices like us :) What I found refreshing was how she took the time to understand our brand before even picking up the camera. The photographs she captured were fantastic and reflected the very essence of who we are. Collaborating with her felt effortless and intentional. Can’t wait to do more work with Amelia soon ❤️

  • Working with Amelia is a dream. She is so detail oriented and professional whilst still being so warm and inviting. Honestly her work speaks for itself, everything is always so high quality you can just tell she is the best type of perfectionist. I will always recommend her to others and can’t wait for an opportunity to work together again!
