NEWCASTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Emotive, natural wedding photography in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & surrounding areas.

Weddings with a City Buzz and Coastal Breeze

I’m Nicole — a Newcastle wedding photographer capturing real, relaxed love stories in one of my favourite coastal cities. Whether you’re tying the knot in the heart of Newcastle’s city streets, the palm shades of Merewether Beach, or the leafy charm of Cooks Hill, I’ll be there to photograph every laugh, tear, and blink‑and‑you’ll‑miss‑it moment.

Newcastle weddings have a vibe all their own — from modern urban venues to breezy waterfront celebrations — and I bring a documentary‑style approach that focuses on authenticity, emotion, and natural light. If you’re dreaming of timeless images that feel like you, I’m your girl.
