BALLARAT ELOPEMENT & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

​

Thanks for stopping by my website, I would love to be considered to capture your day! I have been so lucky to book 30 weddings since September 2025, so as time goes on I do have limited availability heading into 2027. You can check my availability at the bottom of this page.  

 

I love meeting couples and capturing their day - because every wedding is different and your guests make it so special. My wedding was one of the best days of my life - even when I had to send my brother in law to grab maccas half way through photos, because we were so hungry! Nothing like eating a cheeseburger in a white dress hey? How romantic haha.

 

I love hearing about your story, I love working with all couples; young, matured, same-sex, or somewhere in between. I love capturing the day you where you marry your best friend. ​​I take a more candid approach to the day, capturing the day as it comes, I can direct you and your partner on where to stand or how to not look awkward (if you need it) so don't worry about that - the key is to just be natural and comfortable with each other and affectionate to each other.  If you and your partner like specific inspirational images, or have a crazy idea - let's chat about it and make it happen - I have taken photos of a bride being wheeled around in a woolies shopping trolley which was so much fun - and completely unplanned too! Check that photo out here.

 

I would love to be part of your day and I might even be a bit nosey about all your wedding plans! First, let's meet up and have a chat, see if you like me and want me hanging around on your day, then we can chat about the paperwork and boring things.

MY WEDDING PROCESS

01 

Choose YOUR Package

Choose the package which suits your day and fill in a contact form to check availability and a organise a meet up date for our chat.

 

Start/end times can be customised depending on your schedule.​​​​

​

04 

PRE-WEDDING Checkin

I'm more than happy to keep in contact with you up until your wedding day. Send me inspo or good ideas, or ask questions.

 

A week prior we'll have a call or meet up to discuss your schedule and things we need to remember.

​ 

02

LET's meet UP 

You spend so much time with your photographer on the day, you need to make sure you like me! Let's catch up for a drink and if you are happy to go ahead we can complete the wedding questionnaire and paperwork. Video calls are also welcome.

05 

HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER!

Let's capture your special day and have so much fun doing it! I'll fix your hair, fluff your dress, play with the kids, hold your drink, all the things!

 

If you have a cute or crazy idea - let me know. ​

​

​

03

CONTRACT & DEPOSIT

To protect us both, you will receive a contract and image release form. You can choose the image release option you prefer as I understand everyone has different preferences sharing photos. A deposit is also required to secure your date. 

​

06 

EDITING & DELIVERY

I edit all my images without using AI culling, yes I know, it's so much more work but I might see something different to what AI sees, and I know it's done properly. Once I have selected all your images I will edit each one. Once complete, they will be sent to you via online gallery. You can share the link with family members and guests if you like.

LETISHA & WILL  |  CAVE HILL CREEK

Jay was fantastic on our wedding day and for all the preparations prior. She really wanted to capture our vision, get to know our VIPS, and was always professional and punctual. And her photos were perfectly matched. She captured all of those real moments on our wedding day that make us go back in time and re-live it. Her style is natural, fun and all about those close family and friends. And, she particularly knows how to get the kiddos smiling at the camera. She is affordable for the quality of work she provides, and the commitment. Not only that but she (and her assistant) also supported me by following up with vendors while I was in the makeup chair and had no phone service. I couldn’t have done it without you ladies. We absolutely loved you.

I have a full list of wonderful Ballarat vendors I am more than happy to pass along as part of my wedding packages. Just let me know who you are looking for! 

I understand how expensive weddings are, so if you require a monthly payment plan, please let me know.
