Still Makes Me Smile // Erika & Joel — Koendidda

Still Makes Me Smile // Erika & Joel — Koendidda Homestead

A summer garden party that could’ve doubled as a movie set. ✨

Erika & Joel said I do on the lawns of Koendidda Homestead — all heritage charm, big trees, and that soft country light that photographers lose their minds over. Then, as the sun dipped, the whole place turned into a glittering garden party under the stars and festoon lights.

It was one of those nights that felt easy and electric at the same time — champagne flowing, shoes off, big hugs, louder laughs.

2015 feels like a lifetime ago, but this one? Still has my heart.
Classic, joyful, the kind of love story that ages well.

Because good light fades, trends come and go — but this kind of magic? Never dates.

Still Makes Me Smile // Jules & Andy — Wandiligong

Ten years ago. No drones. No shot lists. No “content moments.”
Just two legends, a valley full of gum trees, and a whole lot of love.

The mountain light did its thing, the laughter rolled, and honestly… it was pure, unfiltered magic (and I mean literally unfiltered — this was pre-LUTs 😂).

My favourite part? The way they looked at each other like no one else existed.
Still gets me, every time.

This is what it’s always been about for me — joy, love, connection.
Photos that feel like something.
Because trends fade, filters fade… but emotion? That’s forever, baby. @julesg17 ❤️

✨ Goodbye Weddings, Hello New Adventures ✨ Fr

✨ Goodbye Weddings, Hello New Adventures ✨

From the end of 2026, I’ll be closing the wedding photography chapter of my business. It’s a decision that has been a long time in the making, and not one I take lightly. Wedding photography has been part of my life for over 10 years, and what a journey it has been.

I have loved every second of it — the stories, the people, the privilege of being invited into such meaningful, memorable moments. It’s been the most incredible gift, and I am endlessly grateful to the couples who trusted me to capture their day. 💛

But life is about change and growth. Our family is moving into a new season — with our daughter finishing school, our son starting his apprenticeship, supporting my parents in their next chapter, and helping my mum who is (the most amazing) full time carer for my youngest brother Richard. It feels like the right time to step into something new.

So, what’s next? I’ll be continuing my work with small businesses over at @bygeorgephoto, leaning deeper into storytelling, travel, and lifestyle photography....helping the wonderful Mr James out working at cellar door and whatever else comes my way...and hopefully more time with friends and family. Honestly, I don’t have all the answers yet — and that’s equal parts scary and exciting! But I believe you have to take those wobbly, brave steps toward change to open the door to new possibilities.

👉 A very important note: If you’re one of my beautiful couples getting married in 2026, nothing changes for you — I am 100% committed to you, your day, and creating the images you’ve been dreaming of. 💍✨

From a self-taught photographer who had a calling to do wedding photography, quit her job, jumped headfirst off a cliff into the unknown, and built her wings on the way down… to now, someone looking forward to a new chapter with gratitude, curiosity, and courage — thank you for being part of this wild, wonderful ride.

GOODBYE weddings. HELLO to whatever comes next.

With so much love + gratitude,
Georgie x

2026 is going to be one hell of a ride. I’m only

2026 is going to be one hell of a ride. I’m only opening 8 spots—that’s it. Because your wedding deserves more than a face in the crowd or a photographer juggling 50 couples.

I’m in this for the big love, the belly laughs, the goosebumps.
Whether your ‘I do’ is on a mountaintop, in a vineyard, or at your family farm with muddy boots and a marquee—I’ll pack my bags and be there.

So where’s your love taking you? Drop it in the comments ⬇️ (you know I’ve got a camera bag packed and ready to roll).

Here’s a secret: the best photos happen when you

Here’s a secret: the best photos happen when you forget I’m even there.

I’ll guide you when you need it (because nobody wants to feel like a deer in headlights in front of the lens), but then I step back.

I’m not here to direct a production. I’m here to bottle up the feeling of the day so when you look back in 10, 20, 50 years—you don’t just see how it looked. You feel it all over again. 💛

No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just the magic you

No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just the magic you didn’t even know I was catching.

You don’t need to know how to “pose.”
You don’t need a Pinterest board of inspo shots.
You don’t need to stress about what to do with your hands (seriously, I’ll guide you if you need it).

What you do need?
➡️ To show up as yourselves.
➡️ To soak in the day.
➡️ To laugh, cry, dance, drink, hug, kiss, and maybe spill a bit of wine along the way. 🍷

I’ll take care of the rest.

You just live it.

Let’s get real. 🖤 Nobody wants to look back

Let’s get real. 🖤

Nobody wants to look back at their wedding photos and think, “Wow, remember that time we stood in a paddock and fake-laughed for 12 minutes straight?”

You know what you do remember?
✨ The way your stomach flipped as your partner walked down the aisle.
✨ That split-second look you gave each other when no one was watching.
✨ The pure joy of a sunset moment.

That’s being in the moment. That is the good stuff. The stuff that matters.
And that’s what I’m here to catch.

So if you’re worried about your day looking “perfect”... let’s drop that.
Because perfect is boring. Real is unforgettable.

@joseeastman_ @perricootastationevents

This wasn’t posed. This wasn’t planned. Nobody

This wasn’t posed. This wasn’t planned. Nobody said “smile for the camera.”

It’s just what happens when two people are in the moment—completely themselves, forgetting I’m even there. And honestly? Those are the photos you’ll treasure forever.

Because here’s the thing about weddings - the best parts aren’t staged. They’re not on your run sheet. They’re not even predictable. They’re the tender moments, the unexpected laughs, a joyful embrace, the squeeze of a hand when the nerves hit.

That’s what I’m here for.
That’s what I’ll give you.

So if you’re already worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera—don’t. I’ve got you.

'Candid’ photos — what DOES that mean to you?

'Candid’ photos — what DOES that mean to you?

Being in the moment, personalities, tears, messy dancing, documentary, moments, no posing, or all of the above - I would love to know what is your definition of ‘candid’ photography?

Not your cookie-cutter wedding photographer. Here

Not your cookie-cutter wedding photographer.

Here’s the deal 👇
If you want Pinterest-perfect poses and someone bossing you around all day—hard pass. That’s not me.

But if you want:
✨ The messy, magic, in-between bits.
✨ A photographer who feels like a caring friend, not a stranger barking orders.
✨ Photos that feel like you, not like everyone else’s wedding…

Then hi, I’m your girl. 🖤

I’m here for couples who value heart over hype, connection over production, presence over perfection.

So if you’re already overwhelmed planning the “perfect” wedding, consider this your permission slip to ditch the cookie-cutter and just do YOU.

✨Not everyone needs 8–10 hours of wedding phot

✨Not everyone needs 8–10 hours of wedding photography… and that’s totally okay.✨

There’s another way—and it works beautifully for couples planning a more intimate day, keeping things low-key, or just wanting to actually be present with their guests (and not spend half the day taking photos).

First looks. Pre-ceremony portraits. Family photos right after the vows. Done.

You get the magic—without turning your day into a production.

I’ve been photographing weddings for 10+ years, and honestly? Some of the most heartfelt, personal galleries I’ve delivered were captured in just a few hours.

So if you’re planning a smaller celebration with big love and want photos that feel like you (not a Pinterest mood board), I’ve got you.

Photos that feel like you.
Moments that matter.
No fluff. No stress. No awkward posing.

One spot left for 2025—DM me if this sounds like your kind of energy 💌

“BUT WE’RE AWKWARD IN PHOTOS.” My couples sa

“BUT WE’RE AWKWARD IN PHOTOS.”
My couples say this every time—and then end up being total naturals. Not because they’re secretly models, but because I don’t make it weird. I help you with subtle cues and give you space to be yourselves. Laugh together. Be in the moment. Bloom. That’s the stuff we remember.

Can we just stop for a moment and admire these blooms...? Gorgeous bride @buraja_blooms GREW these flowers and MADE the bouquets - so fabulous!!!!

Yessssss I’ve been MIA....for the best reasons…..I’ve been deep in the magic with some incredible couples—people who’ve trusted me with their hearts, their hugs, their champagne-popping moments. Like L&J who married recently at The Sebel on the most perfect winter day @lorend__ with help from the best little best man - how adorable!

Still riding the high from Amber + Richard’s wed

Still riding the high from Amber + Richard’s wedding in Mansfield! Yeehah 🐎
Bluegrass tunes, big hats, golden light, Amber’s gorgeous wedding gown, colour for days, and a whole lot of love. From their vows under big skies to the tattoo station for guests, the sensational sunset location and the wild, barefoot dancefloor moments, this day had heart and soul in every frame.
They celebrated with their amazing tribe, their darling girl Dixie (truly the smiliest, most doted-on babe ever 🥹), and made the kind of magic that reminds me exactly why I do this work: So you don’t just see your wedding day—you feel it.
Amber + Richard’s day was relaxed, colourful, and full of intention. “Your day, your way” has never felt more fitting.
And personally? This one marked something big for me too—coming up to 11 years of photographing weddings. I got my first tattoo to celebrate: a flaming heart, channelling love, beauty, spiritual energy, and intention. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it 🙌
Huge love to these two absolute legends for trusting me with your story.
If you want wedding photos full of detail, connection, and feeling—then we should definitely talk.
