WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER for BRISBANE,
GOLD COAST, BYRON BAY & beyond

Genuine images that stand the test of time. Every wedding is different, every couple and story unique. After fourteen years behind the camera I still hang my hat entirely on the photos — honest, natural, cinematic. Big landscapes, little moments, everything in between.

Behind the Camera

VAN
MIDDLETON

I've been shooting weddings for fourteen years, and I'm still in love with my job. I'm easy-going, relaxed and friendly — because the most important part of shooting a wedding is making couples comfortable, and making the whole experience pain-free and fun.

“HE CAPTURED ALL the BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS — AND MADE US FEEL at EASE.”

Van Middleton’s photography is absolutely beautiful. I loved his portfolio of work and I knew he would be the perfect choice for our wedding. He captured all the beautiful moments of the day and knew exactly where to go to make the most use of the gorgeous surroundings and light during sunset. He was particularly great at making my husband and I feel at ease to get the most natural images. Highly recommend!

From the Byron hinterland to the Amalfi Coast, honest and cinematic images for couples with real style, wherever they choose to say “I do.”

“THESE ARE SO MUCH MORE than JUST PHOTOS — THERE'S REAL MAGIC in THERE.”

Van is the best!!! He's an incredible photographer and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He captured the most beautiful, candid photos of our special day that radiate pure joy and tell our story in the most seamlessly flowing way. We felt so at ease and honestly completely forgot for a good part of the day that he was there doing his thing! We're blown away at the story we relive through the images and Van's work. These are so much more than just photos, there's real magic in there. We wouldn't consider anyone other than Van as the only person for the job! Thanks Van!
