Your Love Story

Vivid. Candid. Wedding Memories

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 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’.

Joel is super friendly and professional. Went above and beyond through the whole experience. He dealt with sudden changes to schedule and a bit limited setting for photos and still managed to work his magic and give us a huge album. Just looking back at our wedding photos one year on and could not be happier with how they turned out.

Joel is an amazing photographer, would highly recommend! Our wedding day was beyond freezing with miserable rain, but the photos Joel took make the day look spectacular. He is easygoing and fantastic to work with. Absolutely check out his website and Instagram for more examples of his style!

I can not speak highly enough of Joel. Our wedding was in Jenolan Caves, which was dark with tricky lighting, but Joel excelled. Our photos are absolutely perfect, and capture the day exactly as I remembered it. He was so quiet and fast during the ceremony, I had no idea where he was, but the photos seem to show that he was everywhere! Joel was a great presence on the day on the wedding, and his relaxed attitude was a joy to be around on such an important day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ava Me Photography, and I am so excited to watch what his future holds.
