ABOUT ME

Hey there, I’m Hunter.

I grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, spent ten years living on the South Coast, and have recently found myself back where it all began — by the sea, with a camera in hand (and a surfboard under my arm).

Surfing, music, fashion, the outdoors and travel have all been big parts of my life. And it’s through these passions and the people & places they’ve led me to - that I found photography. Over time, I realised it was the small, real moments that mattered most - and that documenting a couple’s story truthfully was where my heart really was.

For almost a decade now, I’ve had the privilege of documenting the weddings of unique and inspiring couples - capturing the raw, joyful, and often fleeting moments that can easily go unseen. With a background in fashion photography, my approach blends editorial storytelling with a natural, documentary style. The result? Images that feel timeless, emotive, and full of life.

My goal is always to create powerful photographs that couples will want to return to again and again - photo that not only look beautiful, but take you straight back to how it all felt.

I bring a calm, relaxed energy to every wedding I shoot. There’s no script, no forced moments - just gentle guidance when needed, space to be yourselves, and the trust that I’ll be there catching all the magic as it unfolds. I focus on tuning into your energy and I let your connection lead the way.

So whether your wedding is big, small, or somewhere in between — if my style resonates with you, I’d love to hear more. Let’s create something special together.

Outside of weddings (and when I’m not in the surf), I like to mix things up and draw inspiration from other areas of photography. I’ve explored everything from architectural and landscape work to kids’ portraits and fashion advertising — and I love the creative variety it brings to my practice.
