I got into photography about 10 years ago, starting out as a second shooter with my mum at a few weddings. Since then, I’ve photographed all sorts—families, newborns, and of course, more weddings. My approach to photography is super natural, candid, romantic, and warm. I really focus on helping people feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera—because that’s when the magic happens.

What I love most about photography is capturing real emotion and those in-between moments that make you feel something. I also genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients—building a friendship along the way is such a cool part of what I do. From chatting through ideas to putting together a plan, then actually photographing you—it's all such a privilege.

Hi im Romea,

My two cheeky boys, Ezra and Kairo, are the heartbeat behind everything I do. They’re total opposites, which makes life.... fun?  Ezra is the sweetest soul with the biggest heart (and the biggest eyes to match), while Kairo is pure dynamite - wildly determined and the ultimate little brother. They keep me grounded, inspired, and constantly on my toes.

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME

School was never my thing — in fact, I hated it so much that I dropped out at 16 and jumped straight into a part-time barista job. Photography wasn’t even on my radar back then. It wasn’t until about five years ago, after having Ezra, that I picked up a camera and everything just clicked (literally). Now I can’t imagine doing anything else

SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER
My second shooter is also my husband-  lucky him, right? He’s the calm to my chaos and has no choice but to listen to all my wild ideas, edits, and wedding talk 24/7 (poor guy). He’s amazing at what he does and such a steady presence on the day. We joke and banter and having him by my side makes the whole experience even more special, for us and for you.

Abby is the ultimate fly on the wall — cool, calm, and collected with the sweetest heart. She blends into the background like a pro, capturing all the in-between magic without ever feeling intrusive. Her eye for detail and natural storytelling adds such a beautiful layer to the day, the extra addition to the team that makes my job even better
