Our Story
We’ve spent over twelve years shooting weddings together around Australia and overseas – from tiny elopements to opulent celebrations. On snowy mountaintops, in sun-drenched villas, in dimly lit dive bars. Tea ceremonies, horas, sacred traditions and chaotic dance floors.
No two couples are the same, and neither are their weddings. Each one brings its own energy, vision and soul – and we’re there to observe, honour and preserve it all. An honest depiction of how it all felt, who you are, and who you love.
We capture the real stuff: the laughter, the tears, your nanna letting loose on the dance floor – the iconic moments, and the in-between bits you might’ve missed. You can stay fully in the moment, knowing it will all be there waiting for you in your photos and films.
Keen on some Analogue Love? We include one roll of 35mm film in every photography package, with the option to add more for those who adore that hazy, nostalgic, perfectly imperfect aesthetic.
Hoping for some next-day video content for stories and reels? We can do that too – alongside or instead of a full wedding film.
We’d love to meet you, hear all about your plans (big or small), and tell your story in a way that feels real and uniquely yours.

Lucy Spartalis
Since her teens, Lucy’s had a camera in her hand, obsessively taking great photos of her friends – at parties, festivals, and backyard hangs. In her twenties, she stepped it up by studying at the Centre for Creative Photography in Adelaide, before making the move to Melbourne in 2009 to further her career. We first met at The Empress in Fitzroy North in 2012, decided to start this collaboration on our first date, and the rest is history.
Along with her success as a wedding photographer, Lucy spends her time shooting bands, portraits and editorials. She loves to eat the food I cook and often inhales it before I’ve had the chance to ask if she likes it. She’s a passionate host and loves to bring mates together for excellent times. She’s a film buff, with a highly tuned ear for music and an ever-growing vinyl collection after a decade of working in record stores. She has a great sense of style (mostly ’70s inspired), and is a bit of a creative powerhouse, with a keen eye for colour and composition – whether she’s taking a photo or creating beautiful spaces around our home.
She bloody loves a party.

Alastair Innes
Alastair grew up in breathtaking New Zealand, and came to Australia to study film – mostly in pursuit of making surf documentaries (getting him into the ocean as often as possible). After 10 years in Brisbane, he made the move to Melbourne and began share-housing around the inner North… what it lacked in sunshine and accessible surf beaches, it made up for with great food, culture, and charming redheads.
After years of shooting non-stop weddings around Australia and overseas, we bought a 1950s house in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, which we’ve slowly renovated into our dream home. In his spare time Alastair likes to hone his mad cooking skills, potter around our garden, take our Kelpie X Border Collie (Taika) on endless hikes and adventures, hunt down the best surf spots, and travel the world with me.
He has a dry wit, kind heart, impenetrable zen-like aura, and a salt and pepper beard. I enjoy pointing out the greys as they appear. He doesn’t enjoy it as much.
