Central Coast Wedding Photographer
Relaxed, story-driven wedding photography across the Central Coast NSW — from Avoca and Terrigal to Pearl Beach and the lush hinterlands. Nicole Butler Photography captures weddings with warmth, minimal fuss, and timeless emotion.
I’m Nic — a Central Coast wedding photographer with a documentary approach. Whether you’re getting married barefoot on the beach, in a private garden, or beneath festoon lights, I’ll capture your day as it really felt — full of connection, joy, and beautifully imperfect moments.
From the ocean breeze to the bushland stillness, every celebration has its own rhythm. I won’t pose or stage the magic — I’ll quietly guide when needed, observe when it matters, and create a gallery that tells your unique story.
With over 15 years' experience, I bring calm, creativity, and care to every Central Coast wedding I document.
TIMELESS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
WHAT TO EXPECT
From the moment you get in touch, I’m here to make the experience feel easy, intentional, and completely you. I know that planning a wedding can sometimes feel overwhelming — but your photography shouldn’t be. I’ll help you shape a timeline that flows naturally, make space for spontaneous moments, and ensure there’s always time to chase that golden light together.
On the day, you’ll barely notice me most of the time — I’ll be quietly capturing all the hugs, glances, happy tears and unexpected laughs. When you do see me, I’ll be gently guiding you into light that flatters, spaces that feel right, and moments that unfold without any pressure. No awkward posing or over-directing — just support when you need it, and space when you don’t.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a heartfelt gallery that reflects not just what your day looked like, but how it felt — full of warmth, connection, and the beautiful, fleeting in-betweens.
LET’S MAKE MAGIC
If you’re dreaming of relaxed, heartfelt wedding photography that reflects the spirit of the Central Coast — the ocean breeze, the calm bush surrounds, the joyful chaos of celebration — I’d love to hear more about your plans. My couples are often creatives, nature-lovers, introverts, extroverts, or a mix of both — but all of them want honest, story-driven imagery that doesn’t feel forced or staged.
Whether you’re having a barefoot elopement with just your closest people, or a 150-guest party under festoon lights and stars, I’m here to capture it all with intention and heart. I’ll guide you gently when needed, step back when you’re fully in the moment, and create a gallery that tells your story — in all its laughter, softness, and beautifully imperfect realness.

Nicole Butler Photography is built on the belief that weddings should feel like you — natural, unscripted, and deeply real. After 15 years photographing love stories, I still get excited about the quiet in-betweens just as much as the epic moments. They’re what make your day truly yours.
Whether it’s a barefoot ceremony on Pearl Beach or a wild party in the hinterland, I’m there to document your day as it naturally unfolds — gently guiding when needed, and stepping back when you don’t.
The Central Coast is full of contrasts — serene beaches, lush hinterlands, charming chapels, and rustic barns. To me, these places aren’t just backdrops — they become part of your story. Every corner adds its own character, and I’m always seeking out the small, unscripted details that bring it all to life.
My style is relaxed documentary with a touch of direction when it matters. No awkward poses. Just authentic, beautifully honest storytelling.
Whether you’re planning a celebration under festoon lights, a quiet elopement in the bush, or a beachside gathering at sunset, I’ll be there to capture the feels. I work calmly and intentionally — so you can stay fully present, knowing every meaningful moment is being captured.
I’m here for couples who want to look back and feel everything all over again — the laughter, the tears, the goosebumps, and all the beautifully imperfect in-betweens.
The Central Coast has my heart — the people, the places, the laid-back celebrations. If you’re planning your day here and want images that feel raw, joyful, and soulful, I’d love to chat.
