Brisbane wedding photos

A city celebration can be every bit as personal as a country escape. From an intimate hotel elopement to a room full of friends at The Refinery, these stories are about making the day your own.

Your kind of photographer

Brisbane gave me a whole new set of venues to explore, along with plenty of backyard weddings. I’m now based in Palm Beach, and I still love coming back to photograph the people and celebrations here.

Choosing a photographer is about more than finding pictures you like. It is choosing someone who will be beside you, talking with your family and friends, for much of the day. Find the person whose company you’ll enjoy.

My photographs are for you and the people you love. I want them to bring you back to your own memories, long after the social media platforms have changed.

Your people. Your place. Your story.

G’day, I’m Josh.

I’m a documentary wedding photographer. I want your photographs to take you back to how it felt to be there, surrounded by the people who matter most.

The quiet moments before the ceremony. The hugs that last a little longer. Your friends singing every word on the dance floor. That’s the story I’m looking for, wherever you choose to celebrate.

Tell me about your date, your venue and the day you’re imagining. We can talk about availability, photography packages and what matters most to you.

Real celebrations. All the feeling.

A few things you might be wondering

Brisbane wedding photography FAQs

How do we book you for our wedding in Brisbane?

Send me your date, your Brisbane venue and whether the ceremony, portraits and reception will be in the same place or at different locations. I take a limited number of commissions each year and want to hear your story and make sure we’re a good fit before the paperwork. Contact me with your plans so we can start that conversation.

When will we receive our wedding photographs from Brisbane?

My usual delivery timeframe is approximately four to six weeks after your wedding, and a little sooner for elopements. You’ll receive an online gallery available to people with the link, which you can share with family and friends and use to order prints. That is the same delivery approach for your celebration in Brisbane.

Do we need to be comfortable in front of the camera for our wedding in Brisbane?

Not at all. An intimate hotel ceremony or a busy city reception doesn’t need to turn into a day of posing. I’m there to notice the connections between you and your people. I’ll help when you need a little guidance, so you can relax, have fun together and let the day happen.

Can we ask about wedding videography in Brisbane?

Yes. I offer wedding films with the same emphasis on emotion and real moments as my photographs. They have a personal, home-movie feel rather than being built around elaborate shots. Tell me about your wedding in Brisbane and we can discuss the film options and availability for your date.

How does travel work for our wedding in Brisbane?

I don’t charge travel for Brisbane weddings, which also includes locations within a two-hour drive of home. This directory extends into nearby South East Queensland, so let me know the exact venue and any other locations you have planned. I’ll confirm any additional travel as part of the quote.

Where can we see weddings Josh has photographed in Brisbane?

The stories on this page include celebrations at The Calile Hotel and The Refinery. Follow a story for the full wedding or open a venue page to see the celebrations photographed in that setting. Explore the wedding stories.

Your people. Your story.

Let’s make something worth remembering.

Tell Josh where you’re getting married and what you have in mind. Find out about photography packages, availability and the best fit for your celebration.
