Kirsten Joy Photography

I’m a wedding photographer based in Shellharbour, Australia, specialising in elopements and weddings. I adore working with couples who are head over heels in love and want their day captured in a way that feels elegant, natural, and timeless. Every love story is unique, and I consider it a true honour to document yours — not just with beautiful images, but with care, intention, and genuine emotion. My style is clean, fresh, and timeless — the kind of photography that will still make your heart flutter decades from now. I take a documentary approach to your wedding day, capturing authentic moments as they unfold naturally: the joyful laughter, the quiet glances, the happy tears, and everything in between. You won’t find forced poses or staged smiles here. I believe in keeping things relaxed and easygoing, allowing you to feel comfortable and truly present in the moment. During your couple portraits, I’ll gently guide you with simple prompts to help bring out your natural connection, without ever making things feel stiff or over-directed. Your experience matters to me just as much as your photos. I’m here to make your day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, offering support, calm energy, and a friendly face behind the camera. Photography has always been close to my heart. I’ve been capturing weddings since 2010, and after a short break in 2020 during the pandemic, I returned with an even deeper appreciation for what I do. In 2015-2017, I formally refreshed and refined my skills, earning a Diploma in Digital Imaging through CATC Design School.
