About the session
-outdoor location.

With so many breathtaking locations around Melbourne, we will work with you to find ‘the one’ to best capture your memories. Maybe there’s a spot that has sentimental value and is special to your family? Or perhaps you have a certain theme/vibe in mind and would like to tap into our location knowledge to find that perfect place? Either way, we love working collaboratively to make your photo session truly reflect your tribe!

Please keep in mind that most location sessions are photographed at either sunrise (or before 10am), or later afternoon when the light is softer. If your dream location is particularly busy at those times it may not be possible, but we have plenty of ideas up our sleeve to ensure your photoshoot is nothing short of magical.


Everything you'll need.

Professional hair & makeup either in the studio or at your home*.

A huge range of outfits for mum to wear.

A range of different backdrops and outdoor locations.

Beautiful heirloom wall art for you to display in your home.

MY PHILOSOPHY

BACK

In this area write about what started your journey into photography and what it is you love about it.

You can also write about how you best serve your clients and ensure them that you will go above and beyond to make sure the feel comfortable in front of the leans and that they will love the photos.

“There are few things that inspire and excite me more than photography!”

What inspires me

BACK

Here’s where you can go on a deeper dive into what started your photography journey and why you love it so much – talk about your motivations and purpose, why every shoot is a new experience. 

You can also write about your overall style and personality, what makes you different from all the other photographers they’ve researched. Don’t be shy!

Talk about how your photos will help them relive the day for years and generations to come.

“Every wedding, every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again.”

BEHIND THE LENS

BACK

Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.   

For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves. 

Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment. 
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.

Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat.

MY FAV THINGS

BACK

Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that. 

Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.

You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings. 

Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”

Disney Movies Still Make me Cry. (a one-liner, fun quirk that makes you, you)

Tonkin family

Emma is just so so lovely and we had a lot of fun with her on the day of our family photo shoot. She made myself and my husband feel so comfortable with her relaxed and joking nature. Emm was great with our kids and came up with creative ways to keep them engaged throughout the shoot. The photos Emm took of our family are just absolutely stunning. So much so that we stuggled to narrow down our selection when it came to choosing photos. Thank you Emm for your time and the beautiful energy you brought along to our session.

the sweetest words.
