You can call me Edwina if you must but by the time your wedding comes we’ll be good mates… or at least have had many laughs together!

From my experience, I’m not exactly like all the other wedding photographers. I’m not there to simply snap away, I’m there to document your day yet fit in like a guest. Many of my previous clients have openly expressed that they feel like i’m a valued part of their day from helping the Groom and his lads to get dressed, to making sure all the important people have the best seats in the house. Yes, capturing your day is a big part of the gig, but being present, helping the day to run smothly, knowing everyone’s names and actually enjoying your celebrations is equally as important to me.

I have been doing this gig a LONG time. I started in 2013 and quickly niched in country weddings. Over the last decade I have shot close to 600 weddings, 95% of those requiring me to board a plane and fly far away. I’ve done my fair share of International gigs too with this wonderful job taking me to Europe, Asia, North America and other parts of Oceania.

Before I become part of your story though, let me tell you a little bit about mine. I feel like I am one of those really lucky people who get’s to live an extraordinary life. I grew up a country girl, born and bred on a property in northern New South Wales. My parents taught me (and my two younger siblings) that fresh air, hard work, horses and homemade biscuits are the good things in life. I attended Boarding School and since 2007 have mostly, except for a couple of years, been based in beautiful Brisbane.

I have traveled outback Australia for the last decade and I truly feel like I’ve ticked that box now. It’s been an amazing adventure with experiences of a lifetime however having more solid roots and the ability to spend more time with friends and family has become my priority. I am also a Respite Foster Carer and by being home more allows me to be available to care, more often.

I love myself a great dress and a nice pair of heels as much as I love rocking my R.M Williams Boots and Akubra. I’ve studied fashion and have had myself a career in both personal training and in real-estate and have a small dress label (Field The Label) but at the end of the day I can’t imagine myself anywhere without my camera and a story to be told. It’s what get’s me out of bed in the morning. Finding my true passion and actually having the ability to make it my career, is something I am thankful for every day. I have met some amazing people through my travels and I’ve visited some of the most beautiful places in Australia and overseas.

With a decade of weddings under my belt, I’ve also had the opportunity to complete some large passion projects. After completing a huge 100 days travelling throughout outback Australia (with no money) in 2017 on my project Wander of the West, I now realise how important it is to give a voice to the minority of people who live west of the Great Divide. The families, communities and lives who are often forgotten about, yet provide us with food, fibres and much needed life necessities. I desire to invest as much energy and time as possible to bring awareness about real issues people of the bush face without sugar coating reality. Rural and remote Australia can be tough and unpretty and I believe many Australians have lost the connection and understanding that they once had with the bush.

After sharing my journing on Sixty Minutes (https://youtu.be/zXhDpAHZQn8) I am committed to dedicating as much time and energy as I can to being an advocate for the bush.

If you think my particular mix of country charm and ballroom gowns might be your cup of tea, I would absolutely love to be a part of your day and ultimately, your story.

I cannot wait to hear from you,

Cheers, Eddy
