Feeling a little overwhelmed with planning #AllTheThings?
Hey there lovers!
Are you feeling a little frazzled by planning your wedding on top of your day job and having to make big decisions almost daily, whilst receiving unsolicited advice and opinions from friends or family!?
I totally get it… whilst wedding planning can be a mega exciting time in your life, there can be so many decisions to make that it can also feel kind of daunting!
Are you wondering how to choose from all the wedding vendors available out there and deliberating over who you can trust to do the absolute best job?
Worried about feeling awkward and nervous in front of the camera?
Finding it a struggle to organise your wedding from afar when you live out of town, or needing advice on timelines and how to maximise every second of your wedding day?
I keep things as simple as humanly possible.
I know it can be an exciting but overwhelming time with all the decisions you have to make, so I’m all about simplifying things for you as much as I can. After all, your time is precious and you’ve got so much other #LifeAdmin to be getting on with.
I make the process all about YOU, putting your needs at the heart of it all.
At the end of the day, you and your partner are the stars of the show, not me!! Therefore I’m super flexible to your needs and requirements and just want to make your day as relaxed, fun and magical as possible. So, if you don’t see a package option that feels right for you but you’re still interested in my services, then let’s talk more! I love to work with clients who are equally excited to work with me… so if this is you, we’ll make it happen!
I provide a sense of calm that will put you at complete ease.
Not many of us feel natural or comfortable in front of the camera, so I make it my mission to ensure the couples and families I shoot feel at complete ease to be themselves and just enjoy the experience as much as they possibly can.
I can recommend and introduce you to many of the southwest’s best wedding vendors.
Planning a wedding from afar when you live out of town can seem pretty daunting. Having lived and worked in the Margaret River Region for many years, I’m happy to be able to provide my clients with insider knowledge of the best and most trusted local vendors, giving you peace of mind when planning your event from miles away.
What if I told you…
Well you’ve come to the right place.
Are you ready to hold onto life's best moments?
I guarantee your photographs will be the first things you reach for when you need to draw on your past. The memories we make should be savoured, cherished and protected above all else. They are a tangible reminder of how we felt, who was there, what mattered to us. They are our legacy! Time passes us in the blink of an eye, so hold onto what matters now and savour life's best moments forever...

Hi, I’m Nic!
I’m a wedding, elopement and family photographer based here in beautiful Yallingup, South West, Western Australia. I’ve been a full-time photographer for four years and nothing delights me more than the messages of sheer joy and excitement I get back when I deliver a couple’s photos. It’s the reason I do what I do.
Empathy is my superpower; it gives me the ability to make everyone I photograph feel completely at ease in front of my camera. And when we feel at ease, we exude a confidence and inner joy that allows us to feel and look our best.
Because of this, many of my clients have become lifelong friends and return to me at each stage of their love story, trusting me to capture their most treasured moments. These long-term client relationships are what I pride myself on; I value human connection in all its forms and just adore making my clients happy.
Meet your photographer
"Nic was our wedding photographer and if we could give more than 5 stars we would!!"
She was so professional, friendly, and easy going from the start, and most importantly, she made us feel comfortable on the day which absolutely shines through in all of our wedding photos.
- Sophie + MATT, 2023
"Nic has now been our photographer for Engagement, Wedding and family photos- and every shoot was such an enjoyable experience."
We are so extremely grateful for the memories we’ve shared with Nic and beautiful images she has captured of such special moments for our family.
- Kate + JESSE, 2023
"Nic was our own personal hype woman throughout the whole process and especially on our big day."
She brings the best energy. Our photos have turned out stunning. We are so so happy with them and something we will treasure. Nic will be our go to photographer from now on.
- Cory + STACEY, 2023
"We had the most wonderful experience with Nic from Place of Love!"
She was great at communicating everything we needed from the moment we made the booking. The photos we received back WERE AMAZING!!! I have looked at them 100 times and cannot pick favourites because there are just so many good ones. I would 1000% recommend Place of Love for your photography needs! :)
- TaILa + MIKE, 2023
‘What sets you apart from all the other wedding and family photographers out there?’ I hear you pondering?
Well, as a proud Yallingup local I know this incredible part of Western Australia like the back of my hand and with that, all the best, secret spots in which to capture your love story.
I lead with empathy, always! This is super important as it allows me to genuinely connect and put you at total ease behind the camera so you can feel confident and comfortable and focus on having all the fun! It’s why so many of my clients become lifelong friends.
frequently asked questions
Where are you based and are you willing to travel?
I’m fortunate enough to call Yallingup, Western Australia home, so whilst I shoot all over this idyllic region and know all the hidden gems and stunning wedding venues the area has to offer, I also love to travel all over Australia (and indeed the globe!) to capture love. I welcome enquiries from all couples, no matter where you’re planning on partying
We’re eloping. Can you shoot our special day?
If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and opting for an intimate day just the two of you (or a select few of your nearest and dearest), it would be a privilege to document your ceremony. My elopement packages start at 2 hours coverage, so get in touch if you’d like to learn more.
We’re a same sex couple. Do you shoot all kinds of love stories?
Absolutely!! No matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I’d be honoured to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I am so here for it all!
We’re not exactly naturals in front of the camera, will you be able to make us feel less awkward?!
If you’re not used to having all the attention on you, I totally get it - it can be pretty intense. But don’t worry, I’ve got you… I’ve been told on several occasions that I have an ‘incredible, calming energy’ and the ability to put my clients at ease on what can be an exhilarating yet nerve wracking day! I promise you I will bring a sense of calm amongst the chaos and will help you feel at ease in front of the camera from the get-go.
How many photos will we receive?
You can typically expect to receive between 500-750 photographs if we shoot for between 6-8 hours.
When and how will we receive our photos?
A few days after your shoot I will send through a few ‘sneak peak’ photos to help you reminisce on the big day and for you to post on social media! I then aim to share your full wedding album with you around 4-6 weeks later. I put a load of care and love into perfecting every single image for you, which is why it takes a little more time to deliver your final images. If you’d like your photos quicker, please enquire about my rush fee.
Can you recommend a videographer and other local vendors?
Definitely! As a Margaret River local, I’ve worked closely alongside many of the area’s top wedding vendors, so I’d be happy to advise you and recommend the best suppliers so you know you’re in safe hands.
Do you offer payment plans?
If it would be helpful to you to spread the cost out a bit (I totally get it!) then let me know and we can split your payments into four instalments :)
