Searching for a wedding photographer?

Heck yes! I’m Lachy Scallion; I capture photos of folks in love.

  • Less poses, more partying- keeping you at the heart of the action

  • From small shindigs to all-out celebrations, wedding photography coverages range from 2 hours - to 8+ hours for every occasion.

  • Offering really good advice along the way - helping you bring your wedding to life.

Wedding photos that feel like family

My favourite thing as a kid would be to go through the family album of photos. I was obsessed. For me wedding photos are family photos. My work celebrates humans in love, and the goodness of human connection. I capture you and your people so you can look back at the good times in years to come.

What’s all the fuss about candid wedding photography?

✦

Candid wedding photography is all about flow. Less stifled poses and pretend laughter and more genuine photos of you and your guests in the moment. Having fun, contemplating, crying, dancing. Photos that emphasise moments of spontaneity, laughter, tears, and joy between you and your community. I offer guidance when needed and get pretty excited about nice light but for the most part I keep things chilled so you can enjoy the day.

  • You’ll spend less time posing and more time enjoying the day for what it is - a sweet celebration with your family and friends.

  • My laid back approach to capturing fun wedding photos allows you to enjoy your wedding day without the killin’ the vibe.

  • Because your natural expression is your gift to the world, and my job is to capture you both in your element, enjoying the day. This way, you end up with a gallery full of photos that you look like you and all your weird expressions.

love is worth celebrating so let’s party

Small wedding? Big wedding?

Melbourne or beyond? let’s chat

 

I love the diversity of weddings, whether it's a backyard pizza party or a weekend festival; it’s all about capturing love. If you're planning to get married at your local pub, a winery, or throwing a DIY party on your farm, hit me up. I'd love to chat about your plans!

A bit about me: when I’m not scrolling the internet for mid-century bargains or enjoying Melbourne’s winter watching AFL, you’ll find me behind the lens capturing celebrations as a wedding photographer. I've been documenting folks in love since 2014, and while I call the Mornington Peninsula home, I’m always ready for an adventure.
