PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WON’T LIVE ON YOUR PHONE

For the couples who colour outside the lines. For those who aren’t vanilla and plain.

North Brisbane photographer capturing real people, real love, real life.

This isn’t about being perfect

Whether you’re tattooed, alternative, LGBTQ+, unconventional, or just thoroughly done with boring photography you belong here.

Whether it is your wedding day, your growing family, or a season of life you know you will miss later, these images deserve better than sitting forgotten in a camera roll.

Not stiff.
Not Staged.
Not Forgettable.

Family Photo Membership

For families who want to keep up with the memories without having to think about it every time another year disappears.

LUXURY WITHOUT THE EGO.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to perform.

I guide when needed, step back when it matters, and create images that feel effortless but look incredible.

    Luke did our wedding photos and what can I say, they are next level! they are Unique, Us, and exactly what we wanted! he captured our day perfectly! Our guests even commented on how amazing and easy going our photographer was during the day.

    He also did our engagement photos which are amazing!

    Amazing, this slack mum left professional formal photos to the last minute and Luke was amazing and was able to squeeze me in! The photos are beyond what I expected and my son was smiling in all of them 🥰
    He makes you feel comfortable and the turn around for the final images was quick! Will definately be using him again..

    Luke is very pleasant to deal with and I was really happy with the photos he took. He did some clever edits on some of them too so I have a few really different shots!
    Based on this I would certainly recommend him.

    Luke was the photographer for our wedding - he did a wonderful job. On the day he made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. He guided us throughout the day, and he was open to ideas. The photos turned out amazingly - many compliments from our friends and family in the quality of the photos. Also, many compliments from our guests about Luke on the day. We were very happy to have him there. Highly recommend.

  • Dan and Tay

    Luke shot our incredible wedding photos as well as a family shoot. Could not be happier with the results!

  • Steve Bond

    Great guy, Luke is a great example of professional services. Courteous, respectful, clear communication and knows his stuff. We used him for some corporate headshots. As we are just starting out we needed him to come to our homes. He arrived on time, with all the equipment, knew exactly what to do and got it done. Great value and great service. We will be using him again and would highly recommend him. Thanks Luke for your help.
