Your Love Story, Captured Like a Scene from a Movie
For the couples planning a day that feels like home - elopement photographer Central West, NSW
Your engagement, elopement, or intimate wedding is all about you, your connection, your quirks, your joy. Photography isn’t the main event, but it’s how these moments will be remembered forever. My approach is simple: follow your story as it unfolds naturally, capturing quiet glances, laughter, and spontaneous kisses, while also guiding you to create those perfectly framed, magical images you’ll treasure.
No two couples love the same way, and no two celebrations should either. Planning a day full of moments that matter can feel overwhelming, and relying on friends or phones to capture your memories often means missed moments, poor lighting, or photos that don’t capture the essence of your day. I help couples avoid that stress, ensuring every laugh, kiss, and heartfelt glance is preserved beautifully.
Based in Parkes, NSW, and happily traveling to wherever your adventure takes you.

I’ll touch base to confirm our start time and location—so you’re not left guessing the night before. I know there’s a lot going on, but this quick check-in makes everything feel real (and reassures both of us we’re good to go).
All the Feels
Settling In & Shooting
I’ll arrive early to scope out the space, say hi, and create a calm energy before we begin. As the day unfolds, I’ll float in & out, capturing all the real moments: the nerves, the joy, the stolen glances, and the things you didn’t even notice happening.
Natural Moments
While I love the in-between moments, I'll also gently guide you for portraits and group shots, no awkward posing or wondering what to do with your hands. Just enough direction to feel relaxed, confident and completely like you
Every moment matters. Here’s how we make sure you feel calm, confident, and completely present—start to finish.

"I cried because they were simply amazing!"
The first time I saw the photos I cried because they were simply amazing. I was so excited when she sent me the first photo. I cried so hard when she sent us the clips she had put together, and when I saw the full gallery I was so amazed.

Sharni was amazing in every way. Sharni captured all the little moments throughout the day that others may have missed. She took all of our ideas for certain shots on board, going above and beyond, creating something better than we had imagined. We will look back on these photos for years to come and not only remember our special day and those who were there to celebrate with us, but the woman behind the camera who captured everything.
"She made the whole experience so enjoyable!"
Sharni made myself and my wedding party feel very comfortable by making the season fun and relaxing. We would definitely tell anyone how creative and fun the session was, and how wonderful Sharni’s personality is, she made the whole experience so enjoyable!

Focusing on What Really Matters
Big Love, Small Celebration - Elopment photography - NSW
I only photograph a handful of intimate weddings each year not because I have to, but because I want to give every couple the attention and care they deserve. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like you, full of laughter, love, and a touch of adventure, let’s make it happen. Spots are limited, so don’t wait your story deserves to be captured beautifully.
