About Us

Hey I'm Kelly!

Photographer, videographer, storyteller, mum and the face behind Ivy & Teo Photography & Films.

I believe the best wedding photos aren’t perfectly posed—they’re the ones that make you feel something.

The nervous excitement before you walk down the aisle. The way your partner looks at you when they think nobody is watching. The tears during the speeches, the laughter on the dance floor and all those little moments in between that become some of your most treasured memories.

That’s what I love capturing.

Based in Newcastle and servicing the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and beyond, I’ve spent years documenting love stories and helping couples preserve one of the most important days of their lives.

My approach is relaxed, genuine and focused on creating an experience where you can simply enjoy your day. I know that most couples don’t spend every weekend in front of a camera, which is why I guide you when needed, help you feel comfortable and create space for real moments to unfold naturally.

One of my favourite things about weddings is getting to know my couples. By the time your wedding day arrives, I don’t want to feel like a vendor—I want to feel like a familiar face cheering you on, keeping things calm and making sure you have the best day possible.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, exploring the beautiful Hunter region, planning my next creative project or enjoying a good coffee.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: your wedding day deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.

I can’t wait to hear your story and help you tell it.
