About
Hello.
I'm Ann Marie. I am a Wedding and Portrait Photographer based in Sydney.
My favourite thing about wedding photography is that I get to spend my weekends with two people who are crazily in love with each other, surrounded by their closest family and friends, drunk with joy and euphoria. The fact that out of the eight billion or so people on this earth, they found each another and commit to being there for one another no matter what - I truly believe this is one of the most humbling things in life to witness, let alone photograph.
Happy cries, deep belly laughs and raw heartfelt connection are my favourite things to photograph. I firmly believe images like these - of pure, unadulterated happiness - will always be the ones that we look back on so fondly in ten years time.
The gentleman on the right is Adrian, he does all the editing on our images and is an occasional second shooter.
After shooting hundreds of weddings over the past few years, here’s what I know – nine times out of ten, your wedding will not go to plan. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because life regularly gives you what is the eventual best. If you can focus on the ultimate core of why you’re getting married in the first place: at the end of that day, you have your wife, your husband, your best girls and lads, your closest family – that is all that matters.
Moreover, look past the aesthetic details, laugh about everything that could possibly go wrong (these by the way, make excellent stories for the grandkids), tell your other half that you choose them now, until they’re 90/wrinkly/taking out their dentures for bedtime at 8PM. Hold them tight, let go of all anxiety – I promise you, you WILL absolutely have the best day of your life.
I would love to document your day. Not only that, I’d love to make the experience effortlessly fun. If this sounds like your type of joy, send me a message here. If it all works out, know that I am all in to create some magic with you.
– Ann Marie
