Your heart dog belongs in the photos too.
Dedicated wedding dog photography for couples across the Central West, Riverina, Southern Tablelands and Canberra.
For the couples who cannot imagine their day without their dog.
You've already decided your heart dog is going to be there.
That part was never up for debate.
What you might be wondering is how to make it work beautifully. How do you make sure your doggos are comfortable, captured properly, and genuinely part of the story rather than just a cameo in someone else's shot?
That's exactly what I do.
I specialise in all things dog photography, including the incredible connection your doggos share with you.
On your wedding day, I work quietly alongside your photographer, videographer and other vendors, providing a subtle presence while capturing the magical moments that would otherwise go unseen.
Your wedding photographer is doing an incredible job capturing you and your people, but they can't be in two places at once.
What it actually looks like on the day.
Before your day About a month out, we'll hop on a Zoom call to go through your day's schedule, talk through any specific shots you'd love, and make sure we've thought of everything. If you have image ideas you've been saving on Pinterest, bring them. I love working with a vision.
On the day I capture the whole day from your dog's perspective. The way they watch you walk down the aisle. The nose nudge during portraits. The absolute chaos of the confetti moment. Things look wildly different from down there, and those are the shots that make you laugh and cry at the same time.
I also work with you for bride and groom portraits with your dog. Because I specialise in dogs, I know how to get relaxed, natural, stunning portraits without rushing them or stressing them out. The difference is visible in the images.
After your day Within four weeks, you'll receive a watermarked online gallery to choose your favourite images from. From there, I do the fine tuning: removing leads where it makes sense, tidying up dog hair on clothing, minimising tear stains and saliva marks, and spot editing for light and shadow. The images you get back are polished and print-ready.
Packages Packages are custom built to suit what you need, starting from $1,500. Digital images only, or printed products including albums and wall art. We'll work out what's right for you.
A few things worth thinking about before your big day.
After photographing dogs at weddings, here are the things I always recommend:
Hire a dedicated dog handler.
Ideally someone who knows dogs and can read their body language. Having a handler means your doggo/s can be taken somewhere quiet if the crowd gets overwhelming, without you having to think about it mid-ceremony.
Have a solid plan for drop off and pick up.
When does your dog arrive? How long are they staying? Who's taking them home? Sort this in advance so it's not a decision you're making on the day.
Get them groomed a few days before.
(Not the day before) to avoid the post-groom floof situation.
Think about
their outfit.
A bow tie, a floral collar, a flower crown. These details show up beautifully in photos and make the images feel intentional.
Keep them hydrated,
Especially in warm weather. It sounds obvious, but it's easy to forget when the day gets busy.
You might have some questions!

I travel throughout the Central West, Riverina, Southern Tablelands, Canberra and everywhere in between. If you're not sure whether your venue is within range, just send me a message and we'll figure it out.
-
Packages start from $1,500 and are custom built to suit what you need. Some couples want digital images only. Others want a full album or wall art they can hang at home and look at every day. We'll work out what makes sense for you and your doggos.
-
My sole focus is your doggos. I capture the day from their perspective, which means I'm down at their level, in their world, noticing all the things that look completely different from down there.
I also work with you for bridal portraits with your doggos. Because I specialise in dogs, I know how to get relaxed, natural portraits without rushing them or making them feel stressed. That calm approach makes a real difference in how the images turn out.
The best part? You'll barely know I'm there. I'm very good at blending in with your other vendors and working around the schedule for the day.
-
About a month before your big day, we'll jump on a Zoom call to go over the schedule, talk through any specific shots you'd love, and make sure everything is sorted. If you've got image ideas you've been saving, bring them along. I love working with a vision, and this is also a great chance to ask anything you're wondering about how I work alongside your other vendors.

Within four weeks of your wedding, I'll send through a watermarked online gallery for you to browse. From there, you choose the images you love most, and I'll fine tune each one. That includes removing leads where it makes sense, tidying up dog hair on clothing, minimising tear stains and saliva marks on your doggos, and spot editing for light and shadow. What you get back is polished and ready to print.
-
Absolutely, and I love when couples come with ideas. During our Zoom call before the wedding, we'll go through any particular images you have in mind and make sure they're built into the plan for the day. Nothing is too specific.
-
Your wedding photographer is brilliant at what they do, and what they do is focus on you, your people, and the human moments of your day. They genuinely cannot be in two places at once.
During your ceremony, while your photographer is capturing the moment you see each other for the first time, your doggos are doing something extraordinary too. Watching. Waiting. Feeling every bit of it. Those moments deserve someone whose only job is to see them.
I also know how to work with dogs in a way that's calm and unhurried, which matters a lot when it comes to portraits. The difference shows up in every single image.
The photos you'll look at every single day.
Years from now, when you look back at your wedding photos, you'll want your doggos in them. Not as an afterthought. As the heart of the story they already are.
