Let’s connect & get to know each other.

find out more about me, and my love for all things weddings

I’d be telling lies if I said I’d always harboured ambitions to become a wedding photographer, or even photography at all for that matter! Truth be told I’d always wanted to be a racing driver – that was the delusional 8 year old who started racing in go-karts way of thinking.

It was, however, motorsport that got me into photography though, courtesy of my dad. Weddings came about through my interaction with cameras & people. It kind of just happened, and being honest, it was the best thing that happened to me, apart from my kids & my wife of course! It gives me a real kick of self worth delivering couples memories for them.

we all live for something or someone

One of the primary reasons that I started as a wedding photographer was understanding the values and virtues of memories. Our own wedding photos were, in the kindest possible way, pretty bad! They truly were our biggest regret we have about our wedding day, and they still sit on a cd somewhere! I made a promise to myself when I first started doing weddings was to give my couples the very best of me, the very best wedding photography!

Family life is so important to me, my kids are my legacy, and they have given me & my wife so many memories that we have documented through their lives. Your wedding also serves as the foundation of images & memories that’ll provide smiles for generations to come.

Terry is an absolutely brilliant photographer and an all round top bloke!

my wedding photography style & approach

My wedding photography style, from taking the images, to editing the images follows a path of being natural, timeless & true to life. My style was designed & born based on my ethos in life. Everything should be transparent, there should be no gimmicks, just raw & truthful moments that bring the emotion of a wedding to the forefront. There is some direction given to my couples, but it is led with a natural feel.

When you seek solace in the memories of happier moments, I aspire to capture photographs that fill you with pride and warmth. I aim to create authentic images that truly reflect your essence, free from any gimmicks or regrets—simply encapsulating you and your unique love story.
