What's my photography about...
To me, photography is about connection. Whether it's capturing the connection between loved ones, creating images to connect with future generations or to capture images that will speak in a very personal way with clients.
I truly believe that genuine emotional connection is the foundation needed to create beautiful images. As your photographer, it's so important to me to build that connection and trust with you before the big day so I can capture your emotion-filled day in a beautiful and vulnerable way. I want to invest the time in getting to know you. So let's go on a coffee date, tell me stories of how you fell in love and fill me in about all your plans for the big day.
On your pre-wedding / engagement session, let's do something that you love. Let's go on an adventure and let's experience extraordinary moments together. I truly love it when first time clients becomes life-long friends.

I started wedding photography because...
I feel energised by the creativity that I feel on a wedding day and inspired by the diversity that each great event brings. Over the past few years, I've been working hard on myself and on my craft. Flexing and stretching my creative muscles; as well as sharpening my skills.
Every wedding is different and exciting as it has so many moving parts, people and vendors. I vow to bring fresh perspective and an open mind to each wedding I shoot because you deserve someone to show up and be excited for one of the most wonderful days of your life.

“Thia was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I booked an engagement shoot, loved working with Thia so much that I booked her immediately for our wedding day. She made me and my husband feel really comfortable in front of the camera which is normally quite hard for us. She's extremely dedicated and compassionate. It doesn't just feel like a business transaction. She checks in on you regularly, like a friend. I can wait to work with her again for our next life milestone. I love her.”

“I must have gone through my wedding photos 100+ times since receiving them. I was first approached by Thia in a wedding group approximately a year before my wedding. I was looking for someone to share my unique vision and to capture the love that was reflected on my wedding day. She was so excited to have this opportunity to photograph my unique wedding! I made it very clear from the start; I want to feel the love from these photos and she absolutely ticked the brief.”
“Thia is an incredibly talented photographer with very unique and creative ideas. She photographed my wedding events and also did a pre-bridal shoot, all of which turned out absolutely spectacular and received many compliments from my family and friends. She puts all her energy and hard work into perfecting these photos and the results definitely show. She is very friendly as a person and is very easy to work with. She is without a doubt one of my favourites and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
