Where do we begin! Lucy was extremely organised, replied swiftly to any queries we had, and she was very helpful in assisting our organisation and planning of our wedding. Her means of communication ensured we thought of the small things that we could have easily forgotten. On our wedding day, Lucy knew where and what she wanted to capture of us and communicated her next step along the way. Lucy didn't just communicate with us, but she communicated with all the vendors which allowed our day to run smoothly. Lucy made us feel extremely comfortable heading into our day and on the day itself. Many

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Lucy apart of our wedding day. She was truly amazing with everything, and was a major talk of the wedding with every single guest commenting and commending us saying how truly wonderful and lucky we were because everyone loved her! Thank you Lucy

Lucy has photographed my wife and I's wedding, maternity session and most recently our family session with our 5 month old daughter. This was meant to be a newborn session but due to covid it had to be postponed because of lock downs and Lucy was absolutely amazing for the whole process she worked with us in finding a new date that suited and… allowed her to travel down to Canberra. I am amazed beyond words with how the photos turned out, We are very happy that we waited to have these photos taken because not only has Lucy done an amazing job like her previous shoots with us but she is always

We had such a great time with Lucy! We had two very energetic and difficult puppies with us, but Lucy just took it in her stride. My partner and I felt very comfortable. The photos turned out so lovely! Would highly recommend Lucy.

Lucy, Dean and I don't even know what to say. We are speechless with how amazing you are. The engagement shoot didn't feel like a shoot at all. It was so chill and felt like we were just playing! We were just laughing from the get go! We got along with you so well and you were just so easy to work with. The photos look incredible, they turned out better than expected! We are just waiting to buy a dog so we can do this with you again. We will remember this photoshoot for the rest of our lives.
