Why couples book one

The easiest way to feel like yourselves on camera.

  • 01

    Get camera-comfortable

    By the wedding you'll know how we work, what to do with your hands, and that you look good laughing. The day feels easier for it.

  • 02

    Celebrate right now

    The proposal, the ring, the in-between season. It's worth keeping on its own, not just as a warm-up.

  • 03

    Images you'll actually use

    Save-the-dates, a welcome sign, the frame on Nan's mantel. A gallery that earns its keep long before the wedding.

Town courtyard to a headland picnic

Chloe & JoJo

Playful, romantic, a little bit theatrical

A single red rose followed us all afternoon, from a dramatic dip among the palms to a picnic above the surf. A blue bike, a ring box tucked by the basket, and one very curious brush turkey.

The rocks at golden hour

Aris & Mario

Warm light, wild hair, easy closeness

Ochre rock, a bit of wind and two people who couldn't stop laughing at each other. We kept direction light and let the light do the heavy lifting.

  • Mario kissing Aris on the cheek as she smiles with eyes closed
  • Aris resting on Mario's chest among rock pools
  • Close detail of the couple holding hands
  • Wide view of the couple standing between rocky outcrops on the sand

Pandanus path to the shoreline

Jerome & Charlene

Barefoot, unhurried, sun-drenched

We started in the dappled shade of the pandanus and followed the path down to the beach as the sun dropped. A twirl in the shallows, a dip into a kiss, and no rush to be anywhere else.

  • Charlene leading Jerome by the hand along a coastal path under pandanus trees
  • Jerome cradling Charlene's face as they smile at each other in the sun
  • Jerome gently lifting Charlene's chin, moments before a kiss
  • Jerome dipping Charlene into a kiss at the water's edge
  • Jerome and Charlene sitting together on wet sand at sunset

The water session

Cinematic, romantic, unforgettable

For couples happy to get a little wet. Waist-deep at last light, a frangipani tucked behind her ear, and the kind of images that stop people scrolling.

  • Couple embracing as small waves wash around them at dusk
  • Couple laughing nose to nose while sitting in the shallows
  • Detail of a hand tucking a frangipani behind her ear

Notes from our couples

“We recently had a couples shoot with Heather and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and really captured us so naturally. Heather was so lovely, professional and easy to deal with from start to finish.”

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Still wondering? Ask us anything in the form below.

Where do sessions happen?

Anywhere around Port Macquarie and the Mid North Coast: Lighthouse Beach, Tacking Point, Shelly Beach, the breakwall, or a place that's special to you. We'll suggest spots based on the light and tides.

We're awkward in photos. Will that matter?

Almost everyone says this. We use prompts and little games rather than stiff poses, so the images come from you actually interacting. Most couples forget the camera within ten minutes.

What should we wear?

Soft, natural tones that work together without matching. Avoid big logos. After booking you'll get a simple style guide with ideas for beach, rocks and water sessions.

Do we need to get in the water?

Only if you want to. Water sessions are an option, not a requirement. If you're keen we'll plan around tides and bring towels.

What if the weather turns?

We keep an eye on the forecast and will happily reschedule at no cost if it's not looking right. Overcast days often give beautiful soft light anyway.

Is it included with a wedding collection?

Yes. An engagement session is included with Golden Moments and above, or it can be added to any other collection.
