Experiences & memories are the one investment that increases in value over time.
Manon, is such an amazing photographer. Not only are her photos beautiful, she puts her whole being in making the experience a memorable one. She takes the time to get to know you on a personal level, and is amazing at putting you at ease to capture natural moments. She gave us some beautiful memories and anniversary photos to treasure.
"Our anniversary photoshoot was the BEST experience ever!"
Federico + Adam
Gerald + Rachel
Manon gave us the best gift we could ever have asked for: epic core memories, and beautiful photos to match. From the get go, Manon went above & beyond, helping me bring to life my secret proposal from afar. She appeased my nerves, and the moments she captured were beyond my / our wildest dreams. We will treasure our engagement photos for a long time to come and would recommend her in a heartbeat!
"We will treasure our proposal photos for a long time to come."
Getting engaged in Greece was such a special moment, and having Manon capture our memories was a once in a lifetime experience! Manon was so great to work with & made us feel so at ease. As a person who hates having their photo taken, our destination engagement shoot was (surprisingly) one of the biggest highlights of our trip (next to getting engaged). Do yourselves a favour & book Manon for your own engagement shoot!
"Manon made getting engaged the adventure of a lifetime!"
Eirene + Adam
Manon has such a beautiful soul and kind heart. She brings out genuine laughter and happiness when capturing you. She was very detailed and gave us guidance whenever we felt stuck or awkward. This made us feel really comfortable and confident. Manon, thank you so much for capturing these beautiful moments from our engagement shoot for us to treasure.
"Manon is a gem of a human & an amazing photographer."

Absolutely! Each couple that books me receives a detailed client guide that covers everything about how to plan an intentional experience. You can count on me for everything from providing a list of the perfect locations, creating a mood / style board, timeline creation, vendor recommendations, permit assistance and everything in between.
I am based in Sydney, Australia but regularly travel regionally across the country, as well as all over the globe. There are no travel fees for any wedding within Greater Sydney. However for longer distances or drives, as well as interstate and international bookings, I have fixed travel fees which I'm happy to share with you when you enquire.
When your gallery is ready, it will be delivered to you via email in a password-protected online gallery, making it easy for you to download your photos, order prints, as well as share the link with friends & family so they can share in your joy.
I believe in quality over quality, so generally deliver an average of 40 - 50 photos per hour depending on your timeline, location and hours of coverage. Rest assured I never leave anything out and don't put a cap or a limit on what I deliver. ;)
I want to focus on making you feel beautiful, rather than look unrealistic. So no, I don't photoshop your bodies to appear different than they actually are. But yes, I will photoshop anything that isn’t permanent such as clear up skin and remove distractions & fly aways.
As is common practice in the industry, I do not give out RAW unedited photos. The fact is that half of the magic comes from my careful curation of your gallery, alongside my editing style. With that being said, I promise to never withhold any key photos. If you feel I missed on delivering a particular photo, just ask!
Most certainly! I know from experience how helpful it is to be able to budget in a safe & stress-free manner, so am more than happy to craft a tailored payment plan for you. :)
