Wedding Photography & Films with an obeservational approach

We’re Feather and Finch — a Gold Coast-based team photographing and filming weddings across Australia and beyond.
We have a slightly different approach to most wedding creatives: our “observational approach”.
Our work is grounded in presence, moments, and deep connection — tuned into the quiet moments, the wild ones, and everything in between.

We are not the type of team that will drag you away from your family and friends for hours. We are not there to make you into someone you're not; we are there to hold space for you to truly feel, to go beyond the mind, and to ensure you have the most magical experience.

Our approach ensures that you get to enjoy the wedding just like a guest, if you want to be fully present on your day, we are your creatives.

Because this day moves fast.
And when it’s over, what remains should feel just as alive.

What we deliver is more than photos or film.
It’s a way back in.

“Honestly, there are no words for how natural and comfortable the whole experience felt. You brought such a calm, confident energy to the day—it kept us grounded and smiling, even in the most chaotic moments.

— Avika & Sam

“Taking photos felt less like a task and more like a chance to slow down and enjoy time together as a couple. Their easygoing and fun nature made us feel completely at ease, and the photos themselves are absolutely incredible, capturing not just how everything looked, but how it felt.”

— Jessica & Charles

“They made us feel so comfortable, brought such a fun and easygoing energy, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive.
They didn’t just document moments; they truly captured the heart of our wedding day and us - in our essence as individuals and as a couple.”

— Dylan & Sam

“Nothing felt staged. They brought the music, the vibe, and somehow made the whole day feel even more alive. We got to be fully present — and somehow, every real moment is now a photo we’ll have forever. If you want to feel your wedding, not perform it — book Feather and Finch.”

  • Currently Hannah

    Couldn’t recommend Ryan enough! Of course, our photos came out looking absolutely stunning, but being technically talented is only a small piece of the puzzle when finding the right photographer for your wedding. They also have to be personable, professional. friendly, good at directing and taking charge, not afraid to get dirty to get the shot and also good making the bride groom feel comfortable - all of the things that Ryan excelled at! One of the biggest compliments I got on the flow of my wedding day was how great the photographer was.

  • Meg Dowdell

    It’s hard to put into words what Ryan brought to our day. He surpassed our expectations on every level, not just in a practical sense with his seamless communication with the venue, guiding guests for photos, and knowing exactly where the best shots would be but also through his warm, conscious presence. He held space for us with humour, heart, and a deep kindness that made us feel truly seen. Ryan’s passion for capturing not just the moment, but the essence of you and your partner, comes across in every photo. The photos he delivered are absolutely stunning. And for us girls — he tells you exactly the angle to look your best! When we look back on our wedding, Ryan will forever be part of the heart and soul of that day. We couldn’t be more grateful. Love Meghan and Serge Xxx
