Wedding Photography that feels honest, heartfelt and truly yours.
Capturing real moments with warmth and intention - so you can remember your day exactly as it felt.
I’m Kirrilly,
Newcastle Wedding Photographer
Your wedding day isn’t about perfect poses or putting on a show.
It’s about connection, emotion, and the moments that unfold naturally when you’re fully present.
I am a Newcastle Wedding Photographer specialising in relaxed, emotion-led wedding photography across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. My photography is for couples who value meaning over performance — who want their day documented honestly, with care, calm guidance and a genuine understanding of what matters most.
Couples often tell me their biggest relief was not having to worry about the photography — they simply enjoyed the moment.
You won’t be asked to perform or pose unnaturally. Instead, I’ll guide you gently when needed, step back when it matters most, and make sure you feel comfortable from start to finish.
I create wedding photographs that feel like you.

Wedding Photography Across Newcastle & The Hunter Region
From beachside ceremonies in Newcastle to vineyard weddings in the Hunter Valley and coastal celebrations in Port Stephens, I photograph weddings throughout the region. Being local means knowing the light, the locations, and how to move through a wedding day calmly and intuitively — whatever the setting.
I document weddings as they naturally unfold, with a calm presence and thoughtful attention to detail. I aim to capture what your day felt like — not just what it looked like.
These are images that feel genuine — just like the moments themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you can't find the information you need, please feel free to get in touch via the contact form, and I will be happy to help in any way I can.

I try to keep my sessions as natural and relaxed as possible, capturing the action as it happens. I keep posing to a minimum and make the sessions fun, which enables me to photograph authentic images and real moments. Nothing fake, just you and your favourite people!
-
I’ll get in touch a few days before your session after checking out the weather forecast. If it looks like rain, we can either reschedule to another date, change the session to indoors, or go ahead in the rain (if it’s only light). Cloudy and rainy days make for some beautiful photos, so don’t be disappointed if the skies open up.
For weddings, usually venues will have a wet weather backup option available, so make sure to keep in touch with your venue coordinator in case you need to change your location. I always come prepared for rainy skies however, with a supply of clear umbrellas ready to go.

Yes, I sure do! I work with an amazing company that creates beautiful handmade fine-art albums. For more information, please get in touch.

The term ‘posed photos’ has always bad rep, and people tend to cringe when they’re mentioned. And whilst you may think that those beautiful photos look incredibly natural, there is always an element of posing involved. However, my approach is a little bit different as I always like to direct, not pose. I always start my sessions with some form of direction or activity, whether that be to go for a walk or to give your child a cuddle. This gives you something to do, without you feeling unnatural and staged. Before you know it, you’ve forgotten all about ‘posing’, and you’re able to just relax and be creative in the environment.
-
Normally your photos will be fully edited and ready for viewing 3 - 4 weeks after your session. These will be provided to you in a private online gallery where you can download copies directly. Prints and artwork can also be ordered directly from the gallery. Wedding galleries can take a bit longer however, and our turn-around-time is roughly 6-8 weeks.

For portrait sessions, simply get in touch, and we can find a date that works for you. A non-refundable deposit is due upon booking to secure your spot, which will be taken from your chosen package.
For weddings, I always like to organise a coffee and a chat first to discuss details and ideas.
-
Yes, I can absolutely offer payment plans for all wedding clients. If you’re interested in a payment plan for a portrait session, simply get in touch and we can work something out for you.

I completely understand that sometimes life get’s busy, and illnesses come up often. The deposit paid upon booking secures your date and is non-refundable. This protects your date from any more bookings and protects my business. If you do need to reschedule for any reason, please get in touch as soon as you can I will do my absolute best to find something that works for you. If for any reason I am unable to accommodate your new date, I have a great network of local photographers who may be able to assist.
