'Oliver is one of those people who makes you feel immediately comfortable. His genuine excitement and sense of adventure is infectious and resulted in some beautiful moments being captured.
If you're after a photographer who puts your personalities first, Oliver is your guy.'

Hello! My name is Oliver.
I drink a lot of coffee. I like the smell of burning wood. I spend days off in the mountains riding my bike. I like looking at the ocean but I don’t always want to swim in it. I don’t really like caramel but I really like jersey caramels. I will eat almost anything that is pickled. I am slightly afraid of birds.
Taking photographs of people who are in love makes me happy.
I love to chat, so drop me a note, tell me a little bit about you and your day, and what you would like from me to make it special.

How would you describe your photographic style?
I’m a documentary-style photographer, which means lots of genuine, natural moments. I aim to be unobtrusive, because a wedding day isn’t really about photographs, it is a day of love and fun with friends and family.
I work mostly with natural light for simple, elegant, honest photographs. I grew up shooting on film, so I am also careful and deliberate with my work.
Want to know a bit more about how I work, and what happens on the day? You can find more information in the new “FAQ” section I have set up-

Favourite Loved-up Moments
“The states of birth, suffering, love, and death, are extreme states: extreme, universal, and inescapable. We all know this, but we would rather not know it. The artist is present to correct the delusions to which we are all prey in our attempts to avoid this knowledge."
- James Baldwin

I knew from their electric engagement session last year that these two bring ALL the style. Arriving like Al Capone in classic 50s Fords to the officers mess and grand ballroom in the heritage defense area in Manly. We ducked out to the earthen former parade ground for an intimate moment at sunset, before heading back in to the party. What a day.
