“Amelia captured our entire day so naturally — we forgot she was even there. The gallery arrived early and every single photo felt like a painting. We've already recommended her to three friends.”

Love stories
What couples say
“We booked a destination wedding in the Hunter Valley and Amelia drove up from Sydney without a single complaint. Her calm presence on the day was exactly what we needed. The golden-hour portraits are beyond anything we imagined.”
Zoe & Marcus · Hunter Valley
“From the enquiry email to the final gallery delivery, the experience was professional, warm, and personal. The images are everything we hoped for — cinematic and emotional without feeling staged.”
Priya & Tom · Newtown
“We're not people who usually love being photographed, but Amelia made us feel completely at ease. The engagement session beforehand was such a good idea. Our wedding album is genuinely our most treasured possession.”

About
Photographs that feel like you
I'm Amelia Hartley — a Sydney-based wedding photographer with a deep love for light, quiet moments, and the small details couples remember most. I work in a documentary style with a fine-art finish: candid frames, film-inspired tones, and a slow, unhurried approach that lets you forget the camera is there.
