SHANE & TAHLIA

Shane and Tahlia chose an intimate elopement at Guestlands in Arcadia, a boutique estate in Sydney's Hills District built to feel like a Tuscan village, with cobblestone lanes, stone fountains and five acres of Italian-inspired gardens. Three guests, a baby girl on the way and a full European wedding already planned for 2027. Being trusted with a day this small and this loaded with meaning was a genuine honour and knowing that the little girl Tahlia was carrying will one day be their flower girl made the portrait session one I won't forget.

"From the very beginning we felt most comfortable with Indy. He was easy to talk to, professional and had a calm presence that immediately put us at ease. On the day he completely exceeded our expectations and made the whole experience feel special and effortless. He genuinely added to the enjoyment of the day and we couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also makes the entire experience genuinely enjoyable."
