Creative, Laid-Back Weddings in Castlemaine
Castlemaine is one of the few places where a wedding can feel like going home.
Not returning somewhere familiar, but being fully present in an environment that knows you, the light, the stillness — and the community gathered around you.
As a Castlemaine wedding photographer and someone with deep roots in this region, I’ve photographed hundreds of unique celebrations here.
I’ve learned how the light passes over the hills at different times of day, how the historic buildings take on warm tones at sunset, and what makes this place special when you’re committing your life to someone you love.
I don’t direct moments. I move with them.
The shimmer of evening light as it warms the old brick hall.
The laughter spilling out onto quiet streets.
The breath your partner takes right before your vows.
I photograph Castlemaine weddings on analog film because this landscape — these stories — deserve imagery that feels textured, honest and timeless.
Why Film Feels Right in Castlemaine
Castlemaine lives in texture.

Analog film holds all of that in a way that feels true — rich tones, delicate grain and colour that doesn’t feel manufactured.
Film enhances the earthy warmth of this place. It deepens the greens of bushland. It turns everyday light into something poetic without feeling staged.
This isn’t about nostalgia for its own sake — it’s about creating photographs that feel right here, right now, and still feel right decades from now.
What a wedding with me feels like
Weddings here aren’t rushed.
They unfold naturally — the way you want them to:
Walking down a quiet street at golden hour.
Pop-up speeches under festoon lights.
Last dances that feel like they could go on forever.
Because I live locally, I understand how Castlemaine light and weather change throughout the day. I know the pockets of shade, the quiet streets that make for beautiful portraits, and how to let the landscape shine without imposing on it.
Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot.
It’s the day you promised forever.
My job is to let it breathe and to capture it as it really was.
