Capturing Life, Creating Art

Welcome to Ava Me Photo + Video. I’m Joel, part time dad, part time human tripod, and part time wedding guest. Starting out as a travel and family photographer, my children inspired me to begin wedding photography and the studio now bears my daughter’s name.

It’s been an exhilarating 10 year journey, and I’m thrilled to bring my photojournalistic, fine art style to capture your love story and wedding day.

Based in Sydney, our photography & videography team can travel all over New South Wales including the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong, Kangaroo Valley, Southern Highlands, and Canberra, as well as across Australia and around the world.

Joel is incredible and his photos are stunning. There is literally not a photo we don’t like. He captured all photos and special moments from our engagement shoot and the wedding day with such care. He went the extra mile by arriving early, using multiple cameras and devices, photoshopping out flies (outdoor rural wedding) and exit signs, also turning around the finished product in record time! We also loved how relaxed he made all of us feel, particularly our friends and family who are camera shy.

Joel was our wedding photographer and he was truly amazing. I asked him because i loved the creativity and beauty of all his shots that i’ve seen online, and he really didn’t disappoint. He arrived early on the day of the wedding and stayed back a bit as well to make sure we were happy that everything was captured. He also made us feel so relaxed and comfortable around him which we really appreciated because we were already nervous and stressed about the day not going to plan. And a lot of things didn’t go to plan, but Joel was still able to work around it and always found a way to see and capture the beauty of those little imperfections. He may not text you back a second after you send him something, but trust me, he’s got you covered 1000%.

Joel is an incredible, fantastic and talented photographer & videographer.
From the first time we spoke, he was so easy to talk to and once the big day came around, he made us feel so comfortable while we got all of our photos.
The encouragement and passion Joel put out when doing our videography was amazing.
(Also side shout out to Ben Howland Photography whom Joel partnered with on the day, he was incredible too and I will leave him a review as well).
They captured our day beautifully and perfectly. We couldn’t be any happier with our photos & videos – they are faultless. They’re all just so stunning and gorgeously edited.
Paying for photos & videos is a price that I personally think is worth every single cent. So great to be able to look back and relive our special day whenever we want.
I highly recommend Joel for anything photography/videography, you will not regret it.

Joel is excellent, talented and a true professional! He did an excellent job juggling big personalities and directing the group! He had great ideas and suggestions and was a great sport in the intense wind and heat. We loved working with Joel and would hire him again without hesitation! Thank you Joel!

What a vibe Joel & Zac were!!! They were professional yet loads of fun & made us feel so comfortable in-front of the camera. We have had comments from multiple guests about how well they fit into the relaxed vibe of our day. We have only received our sneak peaks so far & OMG!!! Unreal!!! My brother, who is also a photographer, commented ‘easily the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen’.
