Kloe.
Klo for short.
I'm a Melbourne wedding photographer, ocean lover and dog mum to Murphy, my energetic golden retriever. My style mixes candid, documentary and editorial: real moments as they happen, plus portraits that feel polished without looking stiff.
How I got here
I grew up playing a lot of sport with the ocean nearby, and as often as possible I picked up a camera to photograph the surf and the friends in it. After thinking I wanted to be a landscape architect, I realised I'd be pretty happy turning the hobby into the job, so I switched to a Bachelor of Photography. Shooting surf and fashion taught me how to use light and help people relax in front of a camera. During the pandemic I started working as a senior editor at a wedding film studio, and that's where I fell in love with weddings.
What hooked me on weddings was realising I was preserving part of a family's history. A parent holding back tears or grandparents on the dance floor can feel fleeting, but those photos only mean more with time. It means so much to me to be trusted with this special responsibility.
This is Murphy, my golden retriever and the reason I love it whenever a dog turns up at a wedding. If yours is part of the day, ask me about a discount.
