Tell us about your business!
I’m Kath, an Australian Wedding and Editorial photographer based in beautiful Perth. A warm, relaxed photographer capturing elegant images, real connections with a documentary feel. I’m always looking for something fresh, taking much inspiration from London and New York however, I believe beautiful photos can be taken anywhere.
9 years ago, I bought a camera and we moved to Italy for a year. Here I fell in love with the art of photography, that magic that surrounds weddings and of course I fell in love with Italy itself.
What would you like couples to know about you?
Trust me, on your day immerse yourselves in your day with your special people and in the amazing place where you are. Embrace the unexpected on your day, every day is unique and your day unfold with its own real moments.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Perth, Western Australia. It’s such a beautiful part of this world and Summertime here is my favourite, where you’ll find us walking down to the beach most mornings with a coffee in hand. Perth is also so remote, so travel is a big part of our lives, which we love.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely, worldwide! I’ve always travelled internationally from a young age and living in Italy a few years ago has further sparked our love for an adventure.
How would you describe your style?
Fresh, modern and authentic. Using natural light and real moments. Every couple and day are uniquely fun and beautiful, so my goal is to create an atmosphere on the day that couples feel completely comfortable in and then capture their real connections.
What inspires you?
I also love meeting new couples, hearing their vision and creative ideas. I am inspired by seeing that vision come to life and experiencing this incredible day with their loved ones.
How would you describe your working style?
I’m a warm, approachable person who takes time to chat and get to know the couple. My style is almost completely documentary, so it’s all about the connections and real moments.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Yes, both. I love the mix of digital and 35mm film in an album, it feels perfectly nostalgic to me.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
Europe, UK and around Australia! After living in Italy and travelling extensively in Europe, I adore the architecture, the languages and of course the food.
