I’m Kirrilly

Wedding photographer servicing Newcastle, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley.

I photograph weddings across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens for couples who care more about how their day feels than how it looks on a run sheet.

From intimate Newcastle celebrations to sprawling Hunter Valley vineyard weddings, my approach is relaxed, observant and deeply intentional — allowing space for real moments to unfold naturally.

The result is imagery that feels genuine, timeless and true to you.

The Experience

An experience that feels easy and personal.

From our first conversation through to your final gallery, my goal is to make this experience feel calm, supportive and genuinely enjoyable.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so every couple receives my full attention — before, during and after their day. You’ll never feel rushed, overlooked or treated like just another booking.

You get to be present.
I’ll take care of the rest.

My photography style

I’m drawn to natural light, meaningful connection and storytelling that feels honest and unforced. I love days that feel relaxed, emotional and full of heart — whether that’s an intimate celebration or a big joyful gathering.

Wild Wattle was created as a reflection of what I value most: warmth, authenticity, and capturing moments that matter.

Who this is for

Wild Wattle Photography is for couples who:

  • Want their photos to feel genuine, not staged

  • Value a calm and supportive experience

  • Care about quality and intention

  • Want memories that still feel meaningful years from now

If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear your story.

Weddings in Newcastle

Newcastle weddings have a unique energy — coastal light, relaxed timelines, and a mix of modern and natural settings. From beachside ceremonies to intimate inner-city venues, I document Newcastle weddings with a calm, unobtrusive approach that lets the day breathe.

Not every wedding needs to be big.


If you’re drawn to something quieter and more intentional, an elopement might be for you.
