Richelle's distinctive approach to wedding photography masterfully balances the creation of romantic, artfully composed portraits with the authentic capture of those ephemeral, unscripted moments that unfold naturally throughout the day. Her artistic vision is deeply rooted in storytelling, carefully weaving together both the grand gestures and subtle nuances that make each celebration uniquely meaningful. She has a particular fondness for documenting those fleeting instances of pure joy and genuine emotion, while also paying meticulous attention to the carefully curated details that couples have thoughtfully incorporated into their special day.
She grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, and believe it or not, she's a twin! Her passion for photography emerged early on, sparked when she took her first photograph of her parents at age 16. This love only grew stronger as she explored food and landscape photography while studying at TAFE SA.
With over 16 years of experience and 5 in the wedding industry, it has truly filled her cup photographing love stories worldwide and all over Australia. What keeps her inspired is hearing how different each family is and how hard they have worked to reach this moment. To hear stories of hardship and love reminds her why her job is so important. She lives from her heart, cherishing every single moment and every breath as a blessing. She feels immense gratitude that she's able to do what she loves!
She adores traveling and in 2023 spent two months exploring Europe by herself. She loves how rich European history is and the scale of its architecture. If she could, she would fly to Paris every year! Her bucket list includes Iceland, and her dream wedding locations are France and New York.
Her passion lies in empowering and uplifting women through her work and daily interactions. She is deeply committed to supporting women on their journeys, helping them discover their authentic voices, and encouraging them to use those voices with confidence and purpose. Having personally navigated through significant trauma, she understands the transformative power of kindness and connection. This experience has inspired her to spread joy in simple but meaningful ways, like sharing a genuine smile with strangers she encounters, a small gesture that she believes can brighten someone's day and create ripples of positivity in the world.
“Richelle recently captured our wedding day and we are so over the moon with our wedding previews. Richelle is so incredibly talented, brings the energy and is so incredibly genuine. We have loved having her apart of our day. We both could not recommend Richelle more!!”
