Hi, I’m Robert! Your
CENTRAL COAST PHOTOGRAPHER
First off, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to come to my website. I’m truly blessed to be able to serve each one of my clients and that they trust me enough to capture their memories. But the real reason you’re here:
Who am I?
Husband & Father
I was married back in 2016 to my now-wife Anna. We met down in Bendigo through church and instantly knew we were going to be together forever. Fast forward a few years we are now blessed with 2 children who we love dearly.
Being a married man myself, I’ve gone through the various wedding stages. Yes I’m the guy, but I’m an organised one. So we went through all of the planning together and created our dream day!
Primary School Teacher & Goofball
I’ve been a full-time primary school teacher for the past 8 years. I knew it’s what I wanted to do since I was in Year 7, but I was always the ‘technology guy’.
This is where my love for photography really began.
I remember picking up a ‘professional camera’ for the first time and thinking I needed one! And what better way to use it than doing the very thing that made me want to be a teacher in the first place:
Using my skills and interests to serve others.
If I have used the talents I’ve been blessed with to help someone achieve their potential in life, be the person that cares about them or help someone enjoy one day of their lives, then I feel complete. For this reason, I love getting to know my clients on a personal level so that I can show up for their day feeling like a friend, not just another vendor on the list.
Because of my ‘other life’ as a teacher, father and husband, I only do
15 weddings a year.
I want to ensure that your day is given my full attention and that your experience is the best I can offer.
Also, yes. I’m a goofball.
What’s life without having a bit of fun?! If I can make people laugh and have a great time, then that’s a win in my book. And if I think I’m funny and no one else does…then I’ll cry later in bed.
My philosophy
We actually don’t need to be photogenic to have nice photos taken.
Being yourself is where the real moments happen, and I’m here to help you laugh, have fun and look like a superstar along the way.
Photography should be fun.
It’s as simple as that. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, natural, and fully in the moment.
Genuine memories, real emotion, and moments you’ll want to relive again and again are when the real magic happens. And when we wrap up, I want you walking away feeling confident, happy, and thinking, “We absolutely crushed it.”
This is your story.
I’m just here to help you enjoy every second of capturing it.
Wait…

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes I do! For weddings I travel up to 1 hour one way from Tuggerah, NSW before discussing travel fees. If your wedding is further away, we can discuss a travel cost at the time of booking. This may be anything from a tank of petrol to an overnight stay if necessary.
-
Turnaround times may vary depending on the package that has been chosen. However, all family and portrait photos should be expected between 2-3 weeks after your session has been completed and weddings may take from 6-8 weeks!
-
YES! Wedding packages require a $1000 non-refundable retainer with the final payment due 30 days prior to the wedding date. The remaining balance can be paid at your own pace! Mini and family sessions require a 50% retainer upon booking and final payment 3 days prior to your session.
If you require other payment plan options, please let me know. I am happy to discuss this with you.
-
I am happy to discuss this in a bit more detail if you send me through an enquiry. However, neutrals such as blush, tans, light pinks, faint blues and teals, creams, greys and whites will always result in more of a lighter look to your images. These colours photograph softer and look amazing! I also provide guides with tips and advice for topics such as what to wear!
-
Get the photos taken! Believe me, it is perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable in front of a camera. I always recommend our slightly longer packages as it usually takes someone (or a couple!) anywhere from 10-20 minutes to feel comfortable in front of the camera. But don’t worry, I will take care of everything and be with you every step of the way. Personally, I’d prefer to take the plunge and get the photos done rather than miss out on capturing some beautiful memories.
-
Yes there is! Your privacy is very important to me! As much as I’d love to use your photos and share them with the world, I make sure to respect you and the choices you make when it comes to your photos. This is outlined in my contracts which you can read when making a booking.
You’ve made it this far!
