A curated series of numerous immersive, styled experiences for photographers who crave depth, emotion, and wild beauty in every frame.
When I first started out, I had nothing but a camera and a heart full of fire. No connections, no styled shoots, no flash gear or fancy presets, just raw passion and the aching desire to create something that felt like me. I know what it’s like to feel invisible in a saturated industry, to hustle through late nights with nothing to show but burnout and a dream.
Maybe you’re in that place right now, working another job, juggling kids, navigating relationships and the relentless pace of life, with a dream burning quietly in the background but no time to make it real. I see you.
That’s why I’ve built this: The Storyteller Series is the experience I wish I had.
These aren’t just styled shoots. They’re soul-fed, ready-to-roll content experiences, curated by myself, with your brand, growth, and storytelling power in mind.
You don’t need to organise a thing. Just sign up, show up, and shoot.
Everything else, the concept, styling, REAL loved up couples, location, timeline, light has been intentionally designed so you can walk away with an epic story to tell and images that will elevate your portfolio and attract the clients WANT to attract.

In 2026 we are taking our Storytelling immersions across the beautiful Australian landscapes
At Hanging Rock, the landscape invites reverence. Ancient stone, open air, and a stillness that asks you to slow down.
This storytelling series brings together 7 photographers for an immersive experience rooted in landscape, intimacy, and the quiet sacredness of true elopements.
The Experience
Over up to four hours, you will witness and photograph an elopement story in its entirety—from the moment the couple arrives, through getting ready, the hike, the ceremony, and the unguarded moments that follow.
The story is not segmented or staged. It is allowed to unfold as it naturally would in a real elopement day, with presence guiding every decision.
There is no performance. No repetition. Only what is real.
You will observe how intimacy exists in movement, silence, and shared intention—and how landscape becomes an equal participant in the narrative.

Holding Space & Gentle Guidance
A central focus of this series is learning when not to interfere, and just as importantly, when gentle guidance is needed.
You will learn how to:
Read a couple’s energy in real time
Recognise moments that need space versus moments that benefit from direction
Offer guidance that feels natural, respectful, and emotionally safe
Support connection without disrupting it
This is about holding space first—and guiding only when it serves the story.
What You’ll Walk Away With
This experience sharpens your ability to:
Photograph intimacy without manufacturing it
Work intuitively with adventure couples
Honour the sacredness of elopements
Capture rare, honest landscape-led moments that cannot be recreated
The kind of imagery that comes from trust, patience, and restraint.
