Honest love stories and tender portraiture
You're here because you want something more than just photos—you want memories that feel alive. You’re seeking a photographer who understands that your wedding day is not a performance but a deeply personal celebration of love, connection, and the journey that brought you to where you are right now.
You want evidence of the raw, unfiltered emotions of your day: the laughter, those fleeting glances, and the quiet moments no one else notices. You're not after curated highlights just for socials, you're after something real.
It's about the moments that matter most—the anticipation during your preparations, the quiet strength in your parents embrace, the smile that's meant just for you...and the incredible joy that surrounds you. This is the narrative that captures the essence of your day as it naturally unfolds.
You don't just want wedding photos; you want a collection of memories that will bring you back to the heart of this day for years to come, to the way it all felt.
You want memories that preserve the way your love feels, and I would be honoured to tell your story.

"The photos capture the essence of the moment, our emotions, our personalities, and highlight all the small details we would not have otherwise remembered or noticed. Trish’s use of natural light is unparalleled, and every photo is stunning, yet honest of each moment."
- Margarita & Yang
“Trish is beyond incredible. She photographs with a beautiful sensitivity and appreciation for all the love in the room. The photos she took capture all that joy and love in a way that I didn't know was possible. We will treasure them forever.”
- Kyra Thomas
“Obsessed is an understatement for how I feel about Tealily's work and how our photos turned out! Forever grateful for your love and your passion!”
- Karen & Nathan
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THESE SESSIONS?
These sessions usually last an hour or so and are relaxed and fun. We'll chase the light (best at sunrise or sunset), head out on location or stay cosy at home, and just capture some memories in a place that is meaningful to the both of you. Think outside the box and create a session true to you and what you love doing together, and I'll come along and document some tender memories for you to hold onto forever.

I'm travelling from overseas - do you do 'pre-wedding' sessions?
Yes! I absolutely love the chance to take you around to show you our beautiful harbour city and our golden Sydney beaches while we capture pre-wedding photos in a relaxed way. You can wear the beautiful white dress you've been dreaming against an ocean backdrop, or simply jeans and a tee while we explore the city streets and grab a coffee along the way. These sessions will be tailored to you and the memories you want to make together while in Sydney.
Engagement Sessions
For many couples, an engagement session is a chance to know how it feels in front of a camera, and as much as this is true - I always tell couples to also think of it as an excuse for a date. As your wedding photographer, I love this opportunity to get to know you both a little better and my advice is to keep it simple and meaningful. Get dressed in something you feel relaxed and beautiful in, step outside the demands of wedding prep for an afternoon, and try to align your hair and makeup trial and book in a place for dinner while you're at it!
let's chat!
What is your photography style?
For the majority of the day, we like to take a documentary, fly on the wall approach in recording your wedding day. This means that we aim to be as unobtrusive as possible, and to capture both yourselves and your guests in a relaxed way. That being said, we do provide guidance and direction during family portraits and the location session, and promise to never make you feel cheesy or awkward during these times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in your wedding collections?
Our wedding collections begin at $4500, inclusive of one photographer and your full gallery of high res images, edited in line with our brand. Collection options include beautiful fine art albums showcasing the highlights from your day, as well as other additions such as engagement sessions, second photographers, and motion film coverage. For full pricing details, please connect with us here.
How much coverage do you recommend?
As a rough guide, our coverage usually begins with bridal preparations an hour to an hour and a half before the Bride needs to leave for the ceremony and ends when formalities are over at the reception - usually with the first dance and the opening of the dancefloor. We suggest at least an hour for location photos at a convenient point in the day and are most happy to make suggestions that suit the logistics of your day and the look and feel you are after.
Will I need a second photographer?
We recommend a second photographer if you are having a larger wedding (100+), have a tight schedule, or are keen on having groom preparations photographed simultaneously on the day itself.
Do you travel?
Yes! National and international commissions are welcome. Travel fees apply to weddings outside the Sydney metro area - please get in touch for a quote.
Can I purchase an album later?
Yes. There is always an opportunity to purchase an album at a later stage at the a la carte rates. In this increasingly digital age, albums are close to our hearts and if you are able, we encourage purchasing one as part of the package so it is not something left by the wayside and forgotten as the years go on. We look forward to sharing some of our beautiful albums with you during our studio consult.
Will I be able to print my files?
Yes. All our wedding collections include non-watermarked, edited, high resolution files for your own personal reproduction. We are also proud to offer a linked print and framing service with our favourite family run Australian lab through your online gallery to order and enjoy at your own convenience.
How do I book?
In order to book, a signed contract and $2000 retainer is required. Your balance is due 30 days before the wedding, with final details for the day also required at this time. We cannot hold any dates without a signed contract and retainer.
When will I receive my files?
We aim to turn around our images as quickly as possible, however also invest the time to create an edited body of work in line with our brand. As a guide, your images will be uploaded onto a password protected online gallery within 4-6 weeks of your wedding date for you to view and share.

"Trish really has a gift at capturing with her camera, every ounce of beauty and emotion within a fleeting moment.
Our photos were so beautiful and personal, Trish really does more than take photos, she captures the entire moment in a way that is well beyond just having nice-looking wedding photos. Best decision we could've made!
ELAINE & JACK
"Her photos are tender and sweet and somehow magically captures the emotions and feelings so delicately...
Every time we look back at the photos that Trish captured for us we are somehow transported back to the day, with all the warm fuzzy, giddy with happiness feelings rushing back again."
