I’m not here to make your day one of many. I’m here to make it the day you planned, dreamed and hoped for. I’m here because this is what I love to do. If it sounds like I might be for you, read below for more about me…

the studio

I’ve spent the past decade working in emergency services—an environment that taught me how to stay calm, organised, and present, no matter what’s unfolding. Over time, I found myself drawn to something that felt a little lighter, a little more creative—which led me into the wedding space as a marriage celebrant.

Being part of so many weddings, surrounded by love and genuinely fun, creative people, sparked a passion for photography I hadn’t fully recognised before. Studio Cora grew from that.

The name Cora is a personal one. It was a name I once held onto for a different chapter of life. While life has taken a different path, it remained something meaningful—so it felt right to give it a place here.

Now, I capture engaged couples and wedding days with a focus on what actually matters—how it feels. I’ll keep things relaxed, keep things moving when needed, and make sure you’re not spending your day worrying about where you need to be next.

It’s one day. You should be in it, not managing it.
I’ll make sure you have the photos to come back to it.
