Upper Hunter Wedding Photography
Our Approach to Weddings
If you are recently engaged and looking for a photographer in the Upper Hunter that will shoot candidly and not pose you, then we are so glad you found us! We specialise in getting natural, fun images from couples that that think they are a bit awkward. With all our wedding and elopements in the Upper Hunter, our goal is for you to enjoy yourselves and have an amazing time at their wedding. If you are relaxed and having a great time, then you will get images that reflect just this.
Our typical couple wants beautiful and timeless images and doesn’t want to pose for photos. They also don’t want to leave their guests for hours to do a photo shoot with a photographer. They are probably a bit camera shy and feel that the best photos of them are the natural candid photos.
It is so so important to us that couples enjoy their day and that photos don’t interfere or dictate the day. It is also important to us that we keep moments real and don’t contrive things, just because “it would make a good photo”. When you manufacture and set up moments you give the photos much less meaning. because it’s fake. When you look back at the photos, you will remember that that is when “we pretended” to do something. We are an Upper Hunter wedding photographer & Upper Hunter elopement photographer, not directors on a film set. We document the day really naturally and candidly and sometimes give you prompts and a tiny bit of direction if needed.
We love to photographing wedding and elopements all over the Upper Hunter and when we photograph your wedding, you’ll find out just how relaxed and fun we are. We have photographed hundreds of weddings… and we have screaming kids… so nothing at a wedding stresses us out. We really want you to let your guard down, open up and let your real personalities shine through. Then we can capture the real laughter, the real emotion and give you awesome images that you will absolutely love!
Upper Hunter Wedding Photography
The Upper Hunter is one of the most beautiful country regions in NSW. It has an amazing mixture of the scenic countryside, vineyards as far as the eye can see and beautiful farmlands. It is located about an hour from Newcastle and two hours from Sydney. There is plenty of accommodation available which makes it a really popular location for weddings and elopements. It is also a great location for destination weddings and in fact, the whole region gets many elopements and destination weddings every year.
Our passion is wedding & elopement photography and we feel so lucky to be invited into people lives each week. So if you are looking for an Upper Hunter wedding photographer then we would absolutely love to be considered.
Our favourite wedding venues in the Upper Hunter include:
Two Rivers Denman
Moonan Cottage
Vines Restaurant at Hollydene Estate
Scone Race Club
The Cottage Scone
Russley Rural Retreat
LynwoodDalwood Estate
Hollydene Estate
But if you were to ask me what my favourite wedding venue was, I would have to say that it is anywhere I haven’t photographed. I love photographing new places, so even I haven’t had a wedding there, I would most definitely love to.
Upper Hunter Elopement Photography
I just love elopements and I really love the Upper Hunter as a location. If you are looking to elope, you could potentially elope at any farm any restaurant or any property in the Upper Hunter region. If you love the place then there is no harm in asking.
Elopements are low impact and they are generally less than twenty people. Sometimes it is just the couple. So for a small fee, you could just about get married anywhere. As an Upper Hunter elopement photographer, I love the intimacy of elopements and small weddings. The day becomes totally about the couple and less about you hosting a party. The Upper Hunter is an awesome elopement destination and I would love to be your photographer for it.
Thank you for considering us for your Upper Hunter wedding and elopement photographer.
Upper Hunter Wedding Photography Testimonials
p.s I’m defiantly keeping that maternity shoot in mind for the future. Would be amazing to have you guys continue to capture our memories
Love
Thanks to Bali internet, it’s been a slow reveal this morning as they’ve loaded, and each time we think it’s the best shot, then the next one loads and it’s the best. Adam has included River and Levi in our photos so fantastically, we can’t express quite how much we love them.
If all goes well, we’ll hopefully be organising a maternity shoot not too far in the distant future!
Thank you again,
Lisa & Jaimie-Lee.
You have truly captured our special day and we are both blown away at your incredible photos.
It has been a dream to work with you both,
Thank you again,
Wishing you all the very best,
We had a truly special weekend and Adam was so lovely to work with.
Back to work this week but only a week and a half until the honeymoon…
Thanks again for your flexibility and creativity.
All the best
We are definitely going to pick our favourites (if we can even narrow it down) and get some framed and hung on the wall.
You will definitely be our number one recommendation for all of our friend’s weddings although I believe you’re already lined up for Zisheng and Cathy next year!!
Everyone also has commented on how friendly, approachable and non-intrusive Adam was on the day. We couldn’t be happier.
Thanks again!!
We are completely blown away by how amazing these photos are!!!! We are over the moon and can’t thank you enough! The pictures perfectly captured every part of the day. So many people have commented on how great Adam was on the day as well as his shots 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you again! Wishing you both all the best for the future.
I have legitimately cried for over 30 minutes just admiring every image. I simply can’t thank you both enough for the time and attention to detail that went into every picture.
We are going to cherish these images for a very long time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love your work and will definitely be back in contact for our next big life events in the future.
You are amazing!
Regards,
We will definitely keep you in mind for further photoshoots!
Cheers,
As I looked through them, it’s exactly how I remembered the day. It was so great to have you around on the day, thank you so much for making getting our photos taken so enjoyable.
Just so you know we have sent a few to some of the vendors at their request and ask that they credit you.
if they are published online or Instagram. Pomme asked Kate to write a little piece on getting ready and asked for a few photos, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.
Thanks again!
