Helping you create a different kind of wedding.

Real weddings of all shapes and sizes.

Whether you know exactly what you want or you're figuring it out as you go, this space is here to help you challenge the usual, trust your gut, and create something that actually feels like you.

Because your love is worth celebrating.

I photograph weddings across Tasmania and Melbourne—capturing the real stuff with calm, care, and a little curiosity.

Creating one-of-a-kind photos for really good people.

Crazy little called love

Shaping a wedding that feels like you.

Make space for what matters.

Creating a wedding you love isn’t about rebellion.
It’s about intention—asking better questions, challenging assumptions,
and planning a celebration you and your people will enjoy.

Whether that’s a backyard dinner or a weekend-long festival,
it’s really about making room for connection.

Time to chat with Grandma.
Laugh with your friends.
Eat something delicious.
Have a dance.

Joy is when you lose track of time—
because you made space for what matters most.

That’s when the magic happens.
That’s what I’m here to capture.

This is what real looks like.

Your love is worth celebrating

The groom wears a black suit, white shirt, sunglasses, and has a red boutonniere. They are on a sidewalk with parked cars, trees, and houses in the background.

“Lachy was amazing on our wedding day! He was a wonderfully calming presence during our first look, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and boogied with us on the dance floor, all while capturing our best angles!”

Why I photograph the way I do.

My favourite thing as a kid was flipping through the family photo album. I’d get completely lost in it—faces I loved, moments I wasn’t even around for, but could still feel.

That’s why I photograph weddings the way I do.
Not for the perfect shot, but for the real stuff.

The laughter during speeches.
The quiet hug from your mum.
The moment you sit down and breathe.

I want you to have those memories to come back to. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like—being there, together.

Not posed. Not performed. Just real.

Candid wedding photography lets you stay close to what matters—your people, your place, your experience.

Whether it’s a backyard gathering in Launceston, vows in the Tasmanian highlands, or a city celebration unfolding in a sunlit Melbourne laneway, I’m there to document what’s real.

I’ll offer gentle direction when it helps, and quietly chase the good light—but mostly, I stay present so you can be too.

Because the best photos don’t just show how it looked—
they remind you how it felt.

  • Less time posing, more time enjoying the day with your favourite people. The best photos happen when you're free to just be.

  • I work with quiet attention—not staging, not rushing, not taking over. You get to actually experience your day while I quietly document it unfolding, as it is. Natural, unrushed, true to the tone you set.

  • Your expressions, your rhythm, your way of being—those are the things I’m drawn to. I’ll photograph you in your element, enjoying your day as it really was. The result? A gallery full of images that don’t just look like you… they feel like you.

It’s me. Lachy Scallion,
Your local Wedding Photographer :)

I love the diversity of weddings. Whether it’s a backyard pizza party or a mini festival, it’s all about celebrating love. I’ve seen a bunch of folks choose to celebrate their love and I never grow tired of it.
From small elopements, to big parties I love seeing people get together with their people.

If you're planning to get married at your local pub, a winery, or throwing a DIY party on your farm, I’d love about what’s inspiring you.


My role as your wedding photographer is to help you shape a celebration that it true to who you are. I love that you’re probably just a weird as me and your relationship is full of kinds of quirks and in-jokes.
If you’re ready to imagine a different kind of wedding, or your full of curiosity. Let’s chat.

I’ve been documenting folks in love since 2014, and now call North-West Tassie home. There’s still lots of love for my home state of Victoria so whether you're planning something in the beauty of Tassie or across the state of Victoria we should chat.
