What They’re Saying
“

“...we're not worthy! We're not worthy! Thank you so much for snapping our wedding day. We both absolutely loved sharing it with you, it was like spending the day with a really beautiful friend.”

Ruth and DeanChateau Tanunda, Barossa Valley
“

“So casual yet detail-oriented and for anyone not comfortable in front of a lens, you almost forget he is there. Pete draws the best out of you through building such a genuine rapport with his grounded personality and wit - this makes for a comfortable photo shoot. It feels like you're hanging out with a mate who just happens to be holding a camera - however one glance in his studio will show you exactly what he is capable of professionally. Masterful work. You get what you pay for - avoid cheap amateurs who tout themselves as 'pros' and go with Pete.”

Nikola and LoganSeptember 2016

“Pete was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day! He captured the day perfectly; Kosti and I were completely at ease, and Pete brought a fun and relaxed vibe to the process. I love going back over the photos and finding little gems that I hadn't noticed before! The perfect memory aid to our most perfect day. Thanks, Pete!”

“I'm wondering why I never contacted Pete sooner! He knocked my concept out of the ballpark. Thanks for an amazing experience!”
