Sydney based Dog-Friendly Photographer Captures Western Sydney Elopement with Two Pawsome Guests


What does it mean to be a Sydney-based dog-friendly photographer? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like! While I love capturing couples with or without their furry friends, there’s something extra special about including your pups in the fun. The bond you share with your dog is pure love, and it would be a shame not to include them at least to a part of your your couple’s photoshoot in Sydney.

And what about the second part? An elopement photographer in Western Sydney Parklands? Yep, you guessed it—exactly what it says! The Western Sydney Parklands are full of beautiful spots, and the best part? You don’t have to hike miles to find them—everything’s so close to the parking lot!


Let me show you this amazing session we did in early October. It features two incredible dogs, Trigger and Pablo, who joined their humans for a magical elopement photoshoot.

Planning the Perfect Elopement Photoshoot with Dogs in Western Sydney Parklands


When it comes to planning an elopement photoshoot with dogs, a little preparation goes a long way! For this session in October at the beautiful Western Sydney Parklands, we had two video calls to go over everything. We talked about outfits, checked the weather forecast, and worked out the best timing for the day. These pre-shoot chats are so helpful—they let me plan your session so it’s just right for you.

It was also great to get to know the couple and their two amazing dogs, Trigger and Pablo. Knowing that Trigger is reactive helped us pick the perfect spot. This location is calm, has plenty of space, and offers so many lovely backdrops. The quiet vibe kept distractions to a minimum, which is always a win for an elopement photoshoot with dogs in Sydney. Plus, it’s such a fantastic place for couples who want a dog-friendly photoshoot.

Golden Hour Magic: An Elopement Photoshoot with Dogs in Sydney


Sometimes, no matter how much we plan, things change—and that’s okay! When you’re taking photos outdoors, the weather can always surprise you. For this elopement photoshoot in Western Sydney Parklands, we had to reschedule because of rain, but it worked out perfectly. We ended up with the most beautiful golden hour light, and it couldn’t have been better!


This was one of my longer packages because we wanted to capture photos with Trigger and Pablo and without them, too. We had plenty of time to explore, laugh, and soak up that amazing light. I couldn’t be happier with how much fun we had—and how stunning the photos turned out!
