Gold Coast Wedding Photographer

About wildfolk photography
Heya! I’m Lauren, the story teller and lover of love behind Wildfolk, responsible for capturing the good shit that matters.

Getting to know me.

I was raised on a small Island in New Zealand called Waiheke Island and now live between Australia and New Zealand, covering their different wedding seasons.

While photography, both digital and film, is undeniably one of my greatest loves, I’m also into travelling to new places, outdoor adventures that get me off the beaten track, sports of many kinds, Asian-fusion, being present every moment, and I come with a silly but easy flowing sense of humor.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “cool chick”, right? Well, sure, but I can also be bit of a weirdo who cancelled my Netflix subscription for a Masterclass one, sometimes stays up too late dancing in my bedroom, spends far too long excitedly browsing condiments in specialist food stores, and isn’t that keen on chocolate or coffee.

Despite being a freak who sits in 1% of the population that doesn’t drink coffee or eat chocolate (not a real stat), I can almost guarantee you I am simply the professional third wheel you’ve been looking for. Someone who will join in on a boogie on the dance floor while shooting simultaneously, help you be silly and chill on your wedding day, and will instantly bff you if you send me photos of your pets.

To me, elopement and wedding photography should be about effortless imagery for lovers of all genders, sexuality, race and class, capturing the big and little moments that actually matter. Documenting beautiful relationships for what they really are: vulnerable, and what determines the quality of our lives.

So, enough about me, if you’re happy weirdo’s who are head over heels and share the same vision about unposed and adventurous moments on your day, then say hey.
