We're Jamie and Mel — a former chef and his wife who traded the kitchen for the confetti. Twenty years in professional kitchens have taught us how to read a room, stay calm under pressure, and blend in like mates. Now we photograph relaxed, documentary-style weddings and films from Port Douglas to the Whitsundays and we stick around for the chapters after: the babies, the familes and the years that follow.
Award-Winning doesn't mean anything if your photos don't feel like you.
Unscripted. Unhurried. Honest.
Engagements & Werddings. The "yes," the nerves, the big day and the messy, happy bits in between.

They captured all the beautiful moments we will treasure forever, but what we will remember just as much is how they made us feel. We never felt like just another couple they were photographing.
We are beyond grateful that we chose them to capture our wedding.
Jamie and Mel - We mention you every time we talk about the wedding day. Thank you both so much. You are amazing people ❤️
What made them so so special was that they were so much more than just photographers on the day they truly became part of our wedding party. They noticed and helped with little details we hadn’t even thought of, kept everything moving, and were there for us every step of the way. They supported us not only physically, but emotionally too. Whether we needed a helping hand, a calming word, or just someone to make us laugh when things got overwhelming, they were there.
"We honestly cannot recommend Jamie and Mel enough! From the very beginning, they made us feel so comfortable, cared for and genuinely excited for our big day."
Emma + Michael
Thank you for being part of our special day ✨
You turned a magical day into the best day ever. It was such fun working with you and will not ever change my mind saying you are the best wedding photographer in the whole of Queensland.

Jamie was super communicative and fun to work with. He was prompt on the day and flexible to go along with any request or suggestions for photos. The photos came out so beautifully and I'm incredibly thankful to have had Jamie capture our day. Our entire family loved him and I'm sure he will get repeat bookings from us.

Not your typical photographers, and honestly, that’s why people trust us. We don’t want to turn up, shoot your day and disappear. We want to know your story, cheer when the baby news comes and be there when the little one turns one. Every session is another chapter, and we’d love to be part of all of them.
We didn't set out to be wedding photographers, but we're sure glad we ended up as your mates!

Jamie was more than happy to help however he could and always made himself available to answer any questions. On our wedding day, both Melissa and Jamie went above and beyond to capture both what they thought would be good photos, but also incorporating what we wanted. They also both stayed well after the reception had concluded to take as many different photos as possible!
We could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day!! The ongoing support both in the lead up, during our engagement photo shoot and on the day was amazing.
"10/10 will be working with them in the future, and would 150% recommend to anyone!"

Real moments, kept for good
I highly recommend Jamie, he is a very talented photographer and amazing to work with. He captured our engagement photos and our wedding day so beautifully. He was so helpful before the wedding with organising timelines etc with great advice.
He fit in so well on the day, made us feel comfortable and worked around the craziness that weddings are. He is professional and friendly and his photographs are incredible. We are very happy with everything, thank you Jamie!

Planning your next chapter should feel exciting, not like another job to manage. If you want relaxed, down-to-earth photographers who’ll show up like mates and capture it the way it actually feels, you’re in the right place. Tell us about your story. We’d love to hear it.
ready for this?
