My name is Jimmy and I grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. My passion for photography started in the ocean, capturing surfing and the natural world before moving into fashion. While this has played a huge role in my development as a photographer, it wasn’t until I assisted a friend on a wedding that I completely fell in love with it. I used to be a tradesman before I started photographing weddings. In short, I hated my job. While I recognise it as honest and admirable work, I received zero satisfaction from it. I think it was this time spent on a job site that got me thinking about what truly brings people happiness and the value in capturing those treasured moments. I came to the realisation that I would rather do something I love.

Professional, warm and exceptionally talented Jimmy has photographed several Mona Farm couples now and is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Jimmy has a spectacular eye for capturing those 'in between' candid moments that make a wedding so special. His photography feels both effortless and editorial-esque.
We couldn't recommend Jimmy more.
