Hey, I’m Bonnie! I am a photographer, makeup artist, and all-around creative. I believe
in vibrant colour, personality, and bringing out the boldest, most authentic version of
YOU. Whether it’s your wedding day, a branding session, or a creative portrait shoot,
or an event I’m here to capture the real, vibrant magic that makes you unique.
I’m not just here to take photos, I am your personal hype crew, your calm in the chaos
and the person making sure you feel like your absolute best self in front of the camera.
With a background in both photography and makeup artistry, I bring an eye for detail
and a passion for storytelling to every session. I want you to feel confident,
empowered, and totally yourself in front of my camera. No awkward poses, no stress,
just a fun, relaxed experience that results in images you’ll love forever.
So, if you’re looking for a photographer who’s all about creativity, colour, and making
you feel like a rockstar, let’s chat!
My studio space is just as unique as you are. I share a creative space with a tattoo
artist right in the centre of town, so whether we’re shooting in the studio or on
location, you’ll be immersed in an artistic environment that’s just as vibrant and bold
as your vision. Let’s create something amazing together!

How I work
I am a big believer in Your Day, Your Way. As you can see from my own wedding, pictured here, I believe your wedding should be unique and completely authentic to you. You can bend the rules or follow them closely. It is completely up to you; my job is to capture your day in a way that reflects who you are.
My photographic style, much like my life in general, is all about being bold, creative and full of colour, filled with authentic emotion and real moments.
What can you expect from me on the day? I come prepared for anything, and I like to keep the day calm, smooth and fun. If you need a moment to breathe, I will give you space. If you need a drink, I will make sure one appears. I am there to support you so you can relax and enjoy every part of your day with all of your special people.
