A bit about me...

Hey, I'm Gabe. I live in Brisbane with my wife, two daughters, and cat. I love coffee (black, white, good, bad), riding my bike, traveling and eating new things. I grew up in the rainforest behind a small town called Mullumbimby, surrounded by a family of painters and drawers. Everywhere we went dad would take his sketchbook, pointing out compositions and how the light falls, but I never really understood until I was given an old SLR and discovered the darkroom in high school.

I moved to the big smoke (can you call Brisbane that?) shortly after high school and looked for whatever photo related work I could get. Fast forward 10 years and I have worked at some of Brisbane's biggest studios, learnt from some of the best photographers and photographed hundreds of weddings. If I had to describe my approach as a photographer I would say natural, fun, honest and romantic. I’m a big fan of wide open landscapes, but I am also not afraid to get in close to the action. I love hanging out with couples on their wedding day and working with them to create beautiful images that they will love for decades.

Definitely! If you’re going to be in Brisbane we can arrange a time/place. If not Skype is great.
An $600 deposit and signed contract are required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks prior to the wedding. At around the same time, we will have our final meeting to go over the wedding schedule and to make sure I know exactly what is happening and when. This is usually done over the phone or Skype.
Yep, I love to travel for weddings! I have shot weddings in Bali, Europe and all over Australia. If your wedding is in the triangle of Byron Bay – Brisbane – Noosa – Toowoomba there will be no extra charge. If it’s further I only ask that you pay for my travel and accommodation.
Yes, 100%!
Of course! You will receive high-resolution JPEGs that are just waiting to be brought to physical life. Please ask me what labs
I recommend as, to be honest, Office Works probably won’t do them justice.
Yes, all my gear is covered and I have public liability insurance.
Yep, I learnt how to edit from working at some of Brisbane’s best photography studios for nearly a decade. I will subtly colour balance, adjust exposure and contrast to make sure everything looks amazing and is ready to print or share. I want my images to look natural and timeless.
About 4-6 weeks. I usually get pretty excited going through the photos so chances are you will get a sneak peek in the first couple of days.
I shoot with two Nikon mirrorless full-frame cameras and a range of lenses depending on what I am trying to achieve creatively. I love shooting with ‘Prime lenses’ that help me achieve that beautiful shallow-depth-of- eld, blurry background look. I might bring out a flash at the reception but most of the time I will be using available light.
Yes. And I'm not affraid to use it ;)
Don’t worry, I always have a backup plan. I have shot in a lot of venues, in all different kinds of weather. If you’re not afraid to get your shoes a little wet you will be amazed at what we can capture with a couple of umbrellas.
It depends on a few factors. If the ceremony and reception are in the same location and no travel time is required then 1 to 1.5 hours is a good amount. For me, the location shoot time of the day isn’t about working through a shot list. It should be a good balance of enjoying time with your new husband/wife and having fun with your bridal party… and I’ll be there to capture it.
