An intimate city wedding with a couture mini, a magenta bouquet and a quietly joyful dinner at QT.
Some weddings are about grandeur, sprawling guest lists, and endless traditions.
But Danielle and Dean knew from the very beginning that what they wanted was something different: simple, heartfelt, and true to them.
On a crisp September day, with just twenty of their closest family members, they exchanged vows in the historic Old Treasury Building Melbourne before gathering at QT Melbourne for a stylish, laughter-filled dinner that felt more like a family celebration than a traditional reception.
The result was effortless, personal, and every inch a reflection of them.

I'm Emma and I photograph weddings and elopements in Melbourne or wherever your love takes you.
I’ll capture your wedding day with the gentle direction of editorial style and the soul of documentary storytelling. What does that mean? It means I’ll guide you to get portraits that feel truly like you, and capture beautiful, candid moments and real emotions without you even knowing I’m there the rest of the wedding day. Trust me, I’ve got you!
What drives me is connection.
I’m inspired by people who feel deeply, those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments, and the poetry in quiet gestures. I’ve always believed great photography feels like slipping back into a memory, not just looking at a picture.
