Meet SPENCER
I’m Spencer, a wedding photographer based in Austinmer, nestled along the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales. My journey began in South Australia, where I spent my youth exploring beaches, tending to our family farm, and working in local vineyards. These early experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature, authenticity, and the simple joys of life.
As I grew older, my thirst for adventure led me across Australia’s East Coast and eventually overseas. It was during these travels that I met my incredible partner. Together, we’ve journeyed through life, backpacked across continents, and now share our days with our two spirited, beach-loving kids. Settling back in Australia, we’ve embraced the coastal lifestyle, cherishing every sun-soaked day and misty morning by the sea.
my approach
Having a camera pointed at you can feel intimidating—I get it. That’s why I prioritise building a comfortable and relaxed environment for couples. By fostering genuine connections, I aim to capture images that are warm, authentic, and timeless.
My style is a blend of documentary, editorial, and cinematic photography. I steer away from rigid checklists and instead focus on the organic flow of your day, ensuring that each photograph reflects the true spirit of your celebration.
philosophy
I believe that the most profound moments in life are often the unscripted ones—the genuine laughter, the silent glances, the raw emotions. My goal is to capture these fleeting instances, preserving the essence of your story in every frame.
Photography, for me, is more than just a profession; it’s a way of connecting with people and telling their unique stories. I strive to create images that not only document events but also evoke the feelings and emotions experienced in those moments.
Real moments inspire me.
01. Natural Light
I’m drawn to light that doesn’t try too hard. Soft window light, golden hour glow, long shadows stretching across a floor. It shapes each image in a way that feels honest—warm, textured, and alive.
02. Human Connection
It’s in the unsaid. A hand resting gently on a shoulder. A quiet smile. Laughter that fills the space between two people. These are the moments I’m always watching for—the ones that show us as we truly are.
03. Unique Perspectives
Sometimes it’s a different angle, other times it’s just being present enough to notice something small and true. I love taking the ordinary and showing how beautiful it really is.
