aCACIA + GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY
As a Wedding Photographer based in Canberra, I specialise in capturing love stories in Canberra & surrounding regions - from Barton to Macgregor and more suburbs across the city to wineries nestled in Murrumbateman or Wallaroo, and country venues in Gundaroo and Gunning.
Canberra has been my home for nearly 15 years and say what you like about Canberra but I love everything about it! Canberra is surrounded by nature and beautiful mountains, whilst city centre is full of gorgeous landscaped gardens, quirky architecture & boutique hotels.

I'm an experienced photographer who loves to capture the fun, laughter, and authentic moments that make your wedding day truly special.
Canberra offers a multitude of breathtaking wedding venues, and I have had the privilege of documenting beautiful memories at some of the most picturesque locations in the city. The Marion and The Boathouse, located on the serene shores of Lake Burley Griffin, provide an enchanting backdrop for your wedding photos. As a solo photographer, I excel at capturing the intimate details and emotions that make these venues truly memorable.
For those seeking a vibrant city vibe, Parlour offers the perfect setting surrounded by perfect photo locations around New Acton. With its modern atmosphere and stylish interiors, this venue creates a sophisticated backdrop for your wedding photography. I love capturing the urban charm and energy that Canberra's cityscape exudes.

"I knew Steph was the perfect photographer for us as soon as I met her. Her quiet and relaxed nature made us feel immediately at ease. Steph captured the most magical photos and we couldn’t be happier.
She communicated proactively, gave us valuable insights and tips, and helped us build out our wedding schedule. Highly highly recommend!"

"After seeing Steph’s amazing photos from one of our friend’s weddings, my husband and I had our hearts set on having Steph photograph our wedding too - and we are so glad she did!
We are so so so grateful we have these memories to look at and can’t recommend Acacia and Grace Photography enough."

"Perfect perfect perfect! If we could give 6 stars, we would! Steph did our engagement shoot and then our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture those special days! She is very polite, professional and was very good at telling us what to do and making us feel comfortable infront of the camera. The photos turned out amazingly! We can’t thank her enough!"

I’m all about real moments, good vibes, and helping you have the best day ever. My style blends those candid, joy-filled shots with a little editorial magic — so your photos feel true to you, but still look amazing. From the moment we connect, I’m here to help with planning tips, timelines, and anything else you need to make things stress-free. On your wedding day, I’m not just there with a camera.. I’m in your corner, making sure you feel relaxed, supported, and totally yourselves in front of the lens.
Think natural, joyful and a little bit editorial. I focus on capturing the real stuff: happy tears, big hugs, wild dance floor moves and everything in between. I’m all about helping you feel totally comfortable (no awkward posing here!) so you don’t need to worry about what to do — I’ll help you feel relaxed and natural, so your photos feel effortless and you're free to enjoy every moment of your day.
If you're planning a wedding in Canberra during peak season (especially spring or autumn) it's best to get in touch early! I often book popular dates 12 months in advance, and some dates get multiple enquiries. Once you’ve locked in your venue and date, reach out as soon as you can.
Dates are only secured with a signed contract and booking fee, so don’t wait too long if you’ve got your heart set on working together!
I offer a range of wedding photography packages to suit all kinds of celebrations across Canberra and beyond. Whether you’re planning a small elopement or a full-day wedding. You can explore my wedding photography packages and pricing here.
Choosing a wedding venue can feel like a big decision, but it really comes down to what kind of day you want to create. Your guest list, budget, and ideal location will all help narrow things down.
Drafting a guest list is an important first step since many venues price things per guest for catering so it help you calculate if a wedding venue is within your price range before you plan a visit. Next consider if you want an outdoors wedding (eg a farm or winery) or you want a celebration in the heart of Canberra (lake views anyone?). Once you’ve got those details in mind, it’s much easier to find a venue that ticks all the boxes.
Canberra has no shortage of stunning wedding venues, but a few really stand out to me not just for their looks but for the experience they offer. The venues I love most all have a few things in common: warm attentive staff, incredible food, beautiful views, and the option to have everything from your ceremony to your reception and photos all in one place. Some of my top picks include Petrichor Farm, The Marion, Poachers Pantry, The Boat House, and Brindabella Hills Winery. Each one photographs beautifully and helps create a relaxed seamless wedding day. Want to know more about Canberra's best wedding venues? Click here to see all my venue recommendations.
