Wedding Photography in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, Central Coast & Port Stephens

‘Love one another and you will be happy. It’s as simple and as difficult as that’ - Michael Leunig

Welcome — we’re so glad you’re here!

Congratulations on your engagement! 💍 Your wedding day is one of the most joyful, emotional, and fleeting days of your life, and we’re here to capture it all — naturally, beautifully, and with heart.

At Left of The Middle Photography, we focus on real connection, relaxed vibes, and storytelling that feels authentic. Think of us as a friend with a camera: someone who laughs with you, keeps things calm when needed, and captures all the little moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Did you know you’ll likely spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day? That’s why it’s so important to find someone who understands you. We take the time to get to know you before your big day, so when it comes time to say “I do,” everything flows naturally — and that connection shows in every frame.

Our Approach

With years of experience photographing weddings across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast, and Port Stephens, we’ll guide you through every step of the process. From helping with timelines and location ideas to giving gentle direction during the ceremony and reception, we make your photography experience stress-free, enjoyable, and fun.

We’ll capture everything:
✨ The quiet, emotional moments when you first see each other
💛 The laughter, hugs, and tears that make your day real
🌿 The spontaneous dance floor chaos and windswept kisses
📸 All the little details — from décor to rings, flowers, and candid guest moments

Our goal is to deliver timeless, heartfelt images that make you feel like you’re reliving your day every time you look at them.

Real Moments, Romantic Vibes. My style is all about capturing real emotion with a warm, candid edge. Whether it’s a sunlit kiss on the beach, an unscripted laugh between friends, or a tender exchange between parents and children, I focus on telling honest stories with a mix of:

• Natural Light & Warm Tones – Emphasizing golden hues and soft highlights that evoke calm and joy.

• Genuine Connection – Every image reflects the true chemistry between people—raw, unscripted, and full of personality.

• Relaxed Editorial Feel – While my work leans into documentary-style moments, I frame them with an editorial eye—clean compositions, flattering angles, and timeless backdrops.

• Playful Yet Elegant – Whether it’s a barefoot stroll by the sea or heart-shaped sunnies on the dance floor, I embrace the fun and the beautiful, always with an eye for the authentic.

If you’re after wedding and lifestyle photography that feels as joyful, grounded, and unique as your story—you’re in the right place.
