Check your date01 / Welcome
We're glad you found us.
Your wedding is a gathering of the people and moments that matter most. It's the big celebrations, the quiet glances, and everything in between.
We're Sam and Jay. We make photographs and films that hold onto the feeling of it all, without asking you to be anyone other than yourselves.

Does this feel like you?
The real, not the rehearsed
The laughter, the happy tears and the moments you never saw coming. The things that make your wedding yours.
Room to be present
A little direction when you need it, and space to be yourselves when you don't. Your day is yours to live.
Beauty that lasts
Artful photographs that feel as honest years from now as they did on the day.
A familiar face
Get to know Sam and Jay before the celebration, so the people behind the cameras never feel like strangers.

Sam & Jay05 / Meet the founders
Two photographers. One love for real stories.
We’re Sam and Jay. What began with a camera and a love of heartfelt stories has taken us across Australia, documenting beautiful multicultural weddings along the way.
We’ve photographed more than 100 love stories. We personally attend every wedding and take on only 50 each year, giving each celebration the attention it deserves.

What our couples remember.
“From the very beginning, their communication was amazing—they took the time to meet with us, understand our vision, and made us feel completely comfortable and cared for.”

Your story, in stillness and motion.
Photographs hold the moments. Film brings back the voices and movement. Whether you’re drawn to one or both, we’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
