Wedding photography for couples who value real moments over Pinterest poses. Every time.

You’re not here for stiff poses or curated feeds.

You're here for something REAL.

BECAUSE DEEP DOWN, MAYBE YOU’RE THINKING...

“We’re not models. I’m scared we’re going to look awkward and fake.”

“What if we end up with photos that look great... but don’t feel like us?”

“What if they care more about awards and aesthetics than about us?”

“What if the photographer misses the real moments—the ones we’ll actually remember?”

And you’re not to worry…

Most wedding photography is designed to impress strangers online—not to capture your story..

This is different.

By the end of your wedding day, you’ll feel completely at ease—fully present, fully seen, and surprised by how much you actually enjoyed being photographed.

Your photos will reflect the day as it really felt:

The nervous breath before the aisle The teary eye during vows The sweaty dance floor joy

AND ONE DAY—50 YEARS FROM NOW—YOU’LL HOLD THESE PHOTOS AND FEEL EVERY MOMENT AGAIN.

I’m Charlotte, 

SYDNEY-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER, OCEAN LOVER, ADVENTURER—AND A BIT OF A QUIET REBEL WHEN IT COMES TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY.

Your day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s not about the angles or algorithms.

It’s about you.

And when the music fades and the guests head home, your photos should bring you right back. I’ll capture the laughter, the nerves, and the tiny unscripted moments that made the day yours.

So you’re not just left with pretty pictures, you’re left with a STORY.

The Unspoken Truths of Planning a Wedding
THE NO-BS WEDDING ADVICE YOU WON'T FIND ON PINTEREST

Charlotte Fraser | Top wedding photographers in Sydney

You’re planning a wedding—but suddenly you’re expected to be an event planner, logistics manager, relationship counsellor, and trend analyst all at once.

NO ONE WARNS YOU ABOUT THAT PART.

That’s why I created The Unspoken Truths of Planning a Wedding—a 16-page guide that skips the fluff and gives it to you straight. Based on real weddings, real couples, and the honest stuff no one else is brave enough to say out loud.

  • ✓ The real reason your run sheet matters (and how to make one that actually works)
    ✓ What no one tells you about guest lists—and why it’s okay to be ruthless
    ✓ Vendor red flags and how to find your people
    ✓ How to avoid disappearing for two hours of portraits
    ✓ Golden hour myths, family photo hacks, and why it’s not about perfection
    ✓ What to expect after the wedding (yes, the post-wedding blues are real)

    This isn’t fluff. It’s the good stuff—practical, honest, and totally unfiltered.

This ISN'T about fake smiles or perfect poses.

It’s about capturing your real connection—so your gallery feels like you.

Sound like we’d be a good match?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes—engagement sessions can be added to your wedding package or if you simply want to meet me first before locking in your wedding this can be a great chance to see if we are a good fit!

  • Absolutely! Whether you’re tying the knot in Sydney, heading off for a coastal celebration, or planning a destination wedding, I’m always up for an adventure. I’ll create a custom quote for travel more than 2 hours from Sydney to keep things clear and simple—just say the word and I’ll pack my bags!

  • Hmmm there is so many to pick from… But I would have to say any first look, whether thats with a parent or special figure in your life or the first time your partner see’s you down the aisle, and I also love capturing cocktail hour - your guests mingling, those shots of the people you love congratulating you, the ones where true happiness and emotions shine through.

  • Great question! My style is a mix of documentary (more of a fly on the wall style) and editorial (creating more of a narrative with some gentle guidance) - real, relaxed, and refined. That means I focus on capturing honest moments as they naturally unfold, while still creating beautiful, intentional images that feel elevated and timeless. I’m not about stiff posing or trendy filters—just photos that look and feel like you, with a touch of polish.

  • I grew up with my mum making the BEST Sunday Roast—so honestly it would have to be that. And if it was a dessert, it would have to be banoffee pie!
