Event Photography

I endeavour to bring a relaxed, welcoming attitude to all my shoots, looking to make it as fun and comfortable for the people I'm working with as possible. I work with both natural light, and supplement with studio lighting when needed, to create work that feels both real, and like scenes out of films.I have 10+ years of experience working with brands, from small local businesses, to national and multinational companies

My mission is to share joy, colour and playfulness. Authentic branding photography, alternative events and weddings are my specialties. Growing up in the Blue Mountains has given me a deep appreciation for the natural world, and I strive to channel this into my work. I have had the privilege of getting to photograph small business owners, yoga teachers, retreats, weddings and conferences. Let me know if you want to collaborate and we can make some magic!

Social media is where the eyeballs are. It's the place to connect with your audience and share your story. Building authentic connections in a saturated digital world takes time and focus. Cutting through the noise can feel impossible. I offer strategic solutions to help small businesses grow sustainably online. I've worked with artisan food producers, bookstores, Airbnb hosts, painters, jewellery designers, yoga teachers, fashion boutiques, and beekeepers. Bringing a small business's story to life through captivating visuals is my superpower. All you need is a strategy. That's just a fancy word for plan.

Wardrobe styling is my favourite activity. I love playing with clothes and collaborating to actualise a vision. As a stylist I prioritise client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. Our current fashion industry is rife with waste, toxic attitudes and a focus on perfection. My professional practice aims to rewrite this and shift focus back onto the individual and highlighting creativity rather than perfection. To do so, I exclusively source from sustainable practitioners. I thrift, loan vintage, collaborate with local designers and upcycle pieces. This also allows me to be inclusive of a wide range of budgets, making my services accessible to anyone. I primarily work on shoots, whether it be fashion editorials, personal marketing campaigns or commercials, I am ready to be your portable stylist. I also have experience and love working on performance looks. In terms of client communication, I prefer to have 1-2 meetings prior to shoot/performance day to ensure goals are met and there is enough time to make the necessary adjustments. Depending on the job, one of these meetings will include a fitting or test run of the look and any other communication can be done in person or online. Each job is different and I am committed to tailoring my practice to best suit your needs. Please reach out if you have any questions, I am always happy to talk clothes :) Creative direction and fashion styling usually go hand in hand, however I am open to and love the role of creative direction as my sole purpose. In this role, I conceptualise ideas, manage the team, make all creative decisions for a project and generally lead projects from concept to completion. I love to be in charge and I love to collaborate. My process for CD is similar to styling, with a focus on client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. However I also manage the team/project and tailor my practice to suit. Photography for me was born out of the desire to capture my looks in the way that I want. I shoot on a cannon digital and vintage digital. I love bts photography and capturing a more candid aesthetic. I am more recently exploring portrait and nature photography, but my main passion lies in fashion and music.

Jonathon Nelson is a furniture designer, craftsman, and events photographer based in the Blue Mountains, NSW. His practice centres on creating bespoke timber works that blend traditional woodworking techniques with contemporary aesthetics, often using reclaimed or locally sourced timbers to highlight the natural grain, texture, and unique character of each piece. Working across furniture making, custom framing, and carpentry, Jonathon is known for his refined simplicity and meticulous attention to detail. His designs, ranging from sculptural objects to functional joinery, reflect a strong commitment to sustainability and a deep respect for natural materials. In 2023, Jonathon collaborated with textile artist Kevina-Jo Smith on Climbing and Falling Through Light at Day Gallery, Blackheath. The immersive installation, featuring upcycled mixed media and handcrafted timber structures, explored memory, materiality, and environmental consciousness. The project exemplified Jonathon’s ability to integrate craftsmanship into broader artistic and conceptual narratives. Alongside his design practice, Jonathon is also an experienced events photographer, documenting exhibitions, performances, and community gatherings across the region. His photography, like his woodworking, is marked by quiet observation, strong composition, and an intuitive understanding of space and form. Through both making and documenting, Jonathon Nelson continues to contribute to the cultural life of the Blue Mountains, creating work that is at once grounded, thoughtful, and enduring.
