Hello

I’m Liz

I thrive off capturing authentic and intimate moments and just letting life unfold in front of the camera.

whether it's watching your dad shed a tear when he catches a glimpse of you all dressed up for the first time, your best friends giddy with excitement in their seats waiting for the ceremony to begin or even your brother ripping it up on the dance floor after a few too many champagnes.

these small moments are the reason this day is so special. It's all the most important people in your life together in one room, celebrating you and your favourite person. This doesn't happen everyday. I want to capture it all for you so you never forget it.

Being there for one of the best days in someone’s life; never disappoints. I feel pretty damn lucky I get to call this a career.

My photography style is mostly documentary with a hint of romance and cheekiness.

Capturing authentic and intimate moments during my time spent with you in your world, is both a privilege and an honour that I don’t take lightly.

When I don't have a camera in hand, you’ll find me enjoying a quality glass of Shiraz or on a plane to faraway places.

Homebase is Melbourne, VIC - Australia but happy to travel anywhere!
I prefer to take a fly on the wall approach to capturing your day. My favourite moments to capture are the ones that just happen right in front of me. I’ll always make suggestions to help us get the best photos but at the end of the day, this is YOUR wedding and i want to capture whatever is going on, wherever that may be. You’ll be left with real photos with life and energy.
Not necessarily although my clients have full access to my calendar link where you can book in phone meetings, zooms and in person catchups to your hearts content! It gives us a chance to get to know each other better and you can make sure you're both comfortable with me.
Unfortunately not. In order to lock in your date, you need to esign the contract and pay the retainer.
Even if we have been emailing/meet up for coffee and I was available for your date at the time, it can't be confirmed until these things have been done.
You'll receive over 600-800 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
I don't think anyone really likes posing! I try to keep my photos as natural as possible and capture the smiles and laughs without you having to do anything at all. The portrait session is generally what people are most nervous about. I tell my couples to think of it as the one hour on the day they get to spend alone together (I'll be there third-wheeling too but you'll forget about me). Just relax and just be yourself. I want you to forget about the camera and enjoy the bliss of this probably being your first moments alone as a married couple.

ALI & FLETCH

“Liz was incredible. Liz helped wrangle family members, made sure we stuck to our schedule, had music ready to play to make photos more natural and relaxing, and kept the mood lively yet calm throughout the day.”
GEORGIA & JACK

“Liz was absolutely epic, she was easy to work with and really knew her stuff. She was perfectly stealthy the whole day, we got photos back we didn’t even know she was there for! Would highly recommend”

“Liz - you absolute superstar! From our first video consult and fast forward to our magical wedding day, you have been nothing short of amazing! You're an absolute dream to work with and you honestly made our day go smoothly! Love how you captured the raw and candid moments on our wedding day - you truly captured us as a couple perfectly!”
JESS & LUKE

“Liz was phenomenal. Everything was a breeze and her creativity and passion really showed when doing our photography. She did everything she could to make us feel as comfortable as possible and these small details such as playing some music made us relaxed and just enjoy the moment. We couldn’t recommend Liz enough, her work truly speaks for it self. 11/10”
INAKSHI & HESH

“Words cannot describe how unbelievably talented and organised Liz is. She captures light and emotion in photos in a way that we have never seen before and her photos are truly one of a kind. She is also more than a photographer, she adds so much value to the planning process and brings such a calm and relaxed energy to the day. Definitely the best supplier we booked for our wedding day!”
LAURA & TOM

“Liz is the best in the biz! Liz was really easy and fun to work with, quick to respond and lots of check-ins and general wedding tips in the lead up. We always felt really confident in Liz and her photography, and the sneak peek photos we've received so far show it! She really was a fly on the wall, fitting in and such a pleasure to have as part of our special day. Highly recommend her for your wedding.”
MILLY & TRAVIS

“Wow! Thank you Liz for capturing our day so perfectly. You made us feel so comfortable and were able to change plans at the last minute because of the heat wave to keep us cool during the photoshoot. Thank you for being so bubbly and bringing such great energy to the day!!”
LINDA & EVAN

“Being a very camera shy couple we were probably more nervous about having so many photos taken of us than getting married, but Liz made us comfortable and the photos are amazing! We had many guests compliment how great she was. Thank you so much!”
RACHAEL & LACHLAN

“Liz recently photographed our wedding day, she was amazing to say the least. She made my partner and I feel very comfortable! Throughout the whole process she was helpful, informative and stayed in touch over the year! Her communication was excellent. She sent a few photos through the days after our wedding which were absolutely outstanding. Liz was an excellent person to have with us throughout our day! I would recommend her 100%!!”
HOLLY & SEAN

“Liz came highly recommended and delivered everything we could have hoped for on our wedding day! Liz made everyone feel super relaxed and helped make us feel comfortable while being snapped. She felt like a friend and knew all the best spots for photos. And the photos, well they were beyond incredible.”
NAT & BEN

“Liz Barnes is an absolute dream of a wedding photographer and an all-around amazing person! My partner was shaking with nerves when we started but Liz's casual professionalism, easy-going vibe, and portable tunes calmed him right down. We were ecstatic about our preview photos and loved having them to share with the family so soon after the night. Could not recommend Liz highly enough!”
