Over the years I've realized that being a photographer isn't just about 'taking photos'. It's about capturing genuine connections between people and the love that brought you all together. So if you're up for a little adventure, feel free to contact me for a chat (and cuddles with my doggies if you want ).
I believe that as a wedding photographer, my job is to help your day run smoothly, ease your nerves and make you laugh. Wedding photography is about love, family and celebration. So I want my images to reflect that atmosphere. If you're after candid, earnest and fun photography, check out my wedding gallery and let's catch up!

While I now live in Perth, I lived in Busselton & Dunsborough for most of my childhood and I love the South West area. I'm a bit of nerd. I love Star Wars, old British comedies, video games, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones (among other things). I'm really into German industrial metal and synthwave.
Photographing people is an amazing and very personal job. I aim to take the photos you want, and surprise you with the ones you didn't even know you needed. The phrase 'Moments over Mountains' has been used by photographers recently to describe the importance of capturing real moments, not just the epic landscapes that are popular for likes on social media.
Booking a wedding photographer or portrait session is quite a personal thing. This FAQ is just that - the most common questions I am asked when people enquire. Hopefully this will make the process of choosing the right photographer for you a little easier. If you'd like to know more, please feel free to Contact me.
Each year I take on a limited amount of clients so that I can give everyone the same amount of time and attention you deserve. I want to get to know my couples so you feel comfortable with me and I can bring out the best of you in the photos. Editing the images takes time but I choose to do it all myself so that I can oversee the process and make sure everything is looking great.
Your wedding day is unique and so should your photography. How do you know when you've found your photographer? Well, naturally, it starts with the images. Do they resonate with you? Do the photographs speak to you in a way that you can't quite describe? My photography style is less about perfection and more about feeling.

Simone photographed our wedding in October 2021 and exceeded all expectations. From the very first meeting she was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. On the wedding day she was the perfect balance of director and observer as each situation required. She captured incredible moments / action shots that demonstrate years of experience and a real talent. We couldn't be happier with the final shots. Thanks so much Simone!

Wow. All I can say is wow.
Simone was amazing. We had a very much DIY wedding, and Simone was helpful in making sure we had a proper schedule and had some great tips.
She was punctual, showed up a few minutes early and was so professional throughout the entire day. She helped wrangle everyone after the ceremony and had chosen some phenomenal spots for the photos afterwards.
Now the photos. Are. Stunning. We've had heaps of compliments from just the sneak peak. They are professional, every single one is professional. I'm not photogenic in the least and she made me look good and comfortable getting

Simone photographed our wedding in January, and every time we look at our photos, we comment that Simone was 100% the right choice.
We chose Simone because we loved how fun she was, and as two people who aren't very comfortable in front of the camera, we thought she'd help us to feel more relaxed. We were absolutely right, we felt so comfortable with Simone on the day. Aside from being a really lovely and fun person, Simone was also incredibly professional and she made everything so easy for us in the lead up.
Our photos themselves are just beautiful, we honestly couldn't be happier. Thank you

Simone Addison was so incredible! My husband and I cannot thank her enough for making our special day so memorable, smooth, relaxed and fun!
Simone is so professional but brings the most vibrant, relaxed vibe with her, making us feel so comfortable. She is extremely prompt with her replies and her work is phenomenal. I have recommended her to my friends and family. We will definitely be using her again for our future photo shoots :)

Simone was one of the first vendors we found for our wedding. We knew she was our kind of photographer from the references to Star Wars, Harry Potter and her beautiful doggies in her bio on her website. But what drew us to her even more so was how warm and easy going she was upon meeting her. She brought that same nature to her work with us on our wedding day. She was not pushy or condescending but firm when she needed to be. She made everyone, family and friends, feel comfortable. She worked amazingly well with our two doggies. And she took the most beautiful photos of our day. When we had to

I wish I could give more than 5 stars ⭐️ because Simone is incredible! From the first time I saw Simone’s photos I knew she was going to be our photographer, I just had such a good feeling...and I was right 🙊 From the very first meeting we felt so comfortable and at ease. Simone took the time to get to know us and understand what was important to us. We were given basic directions on the big day but it never felt unnatural or too posed. Our guests made such lovely comments about her too, just such a positive energy to have around! We recently received our photos and I was even more emotional

I cannot recommend Simone highly enough - she was perfect from start to finish! Simone ensured our the locations and photos we wanted for the whole wedding day was planned for us, and we didn't have to ask her to do anything - she was so organised and professional and the day ran so smoothly! The bridal party had so much fun as well, Simone made sure everyone was included and nothing felt staged or un-natural.
The quality and all-round amazingness of her photos are incredible, we absolutely love them and could not be happier. I will recommend Simone to every couple getting engaged, married, or

Simone was the perfect photographer for our special day. She went over and above what was expected to ensure our day ran smoothly and was everything we imagined it to be. She was extremely organised and knows every little aspect that is involved when planning a wedding. Simone listened to our expectations and delivered photos that reflected us as a couple perfectly. She made sure we had fun on the day and allowed us to have time to ourselves as well as capturing amazing images. Simone is easy going and her bubbly personality allowed us to act natural in front of the camera. Many of our wedding
