THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT mornington peninsula
I’m an editorial wedding photographer splitting my year between two distinct seasons: summer in Melbourne and peak wedding season in Puglia, Italy.
When I’m in Victoria, I’m based right here in Melbourne. Having the Peninsula on my doorstep means I know the region inside out—from the coastal estates in Sorrento and Portsea to the hidden, quiet spots tucked away through the hinterland of Red Hill.
Because I’m local during the Australian season, you get a photographer who is genuinely familiar with the area and knows how to navigate a Peninsula wedding day seamlessly.
Nice to meet you, I'm Tim

Ultimately, I care that you actually enjoy your wedding as much as you love the final images. The right photographer blends in, lets the room breathe, and captures the natural emotion without turning your day into a non-stop photo shoot.
