Hi, I'm Nic

I’m a photographer based in the Hunter Valley and Newcastle, capturing weddings, newborns, and families with a natural, honest style. Whether you're after a wedding photographer in the Hunter Valley, newborn photography in Newcastle, or relaxed family photos that feel like you — I’m here for the real moments.

From the first snuggles with your baby to a love-filled, chaotic afternoon with your crew, or that once-in-a-lifetime wedding day — I keep things relaxed and fun so you can feel comfortable and be yourselves. No stiff poses, just genuine connection, big laughs, and sweet in-between memories you’ll treasure forever.

Genuine, unscripted story-telling with minimal fuss and maximal feels

WEDDINGS

I’m here to bring your unique love story to life with photography that’s creative, candid, and genuinely you. My goal is to capture every unforgettable moment—those big, beautiful moments and the quiet in-betweens—just as they are: real, raw, and full of heart. Based in the Hunter Valley NSW, I photograph weddings across Newcastle, Port Stephens, and beyond.

With a minimalistic, authentic approach, I capture the fleeting magic of your baby’s first days and the arrival of the tiny human you’ve just brought into the world—real, raw, and unforgettable. Offering natural newborn photography in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
