who’s behind the camera and curls?
A bit about the Director!
Who I am. I'm Nath, a Melbourne photographer, videographer and creative specialising in business branding, content partnerships, weddings, baptisms, christenings and family celebrations across Melbourne / Naarm and beyond.
Where I'm based. Melbourne is home, with Pakenham being where I grew up. We work across greater Melbourne, including Berwick, Brighton, Toorak and surrounding suburbs, while regularly travelling Australia-wide for businesses, weddings and special celebrations.
What I do. We help Melbourne businesses and personal brands grow through professional photography, video, social media content and ongoing creative partnerships. I also capture weddings, church baptisms, christenings and family milestones, focusing on genuine connections and beautiful storytelling.
A little back-story. I first picked up a camera around five years old, with a camcorder regularly coming along on family adventures around Victoria. Capturing people, places and whatever was happening around me has felt pretty natural ever since.
What I love most. Being welcomed into people's lives, whether that's helping a business grow or capturing a family's meaningful milestones. There's something special about baptisms, christenings, weddings and celebrations - the traditions, emotions and generations coming together.
How I started. I built NHughes Media in Townsville, then spent the next few years shooting across Queensland, Melbourne, Canada, Bali and beyond - capturing weddings, businesses, retreats, family celebrations and plenty of adventures in between.
Where I'm at now. Back in Melbourne with family close by and cameras in hand, we're focused on business branding, social media and monthly content partnerships, while selectively accepting weddings, baptisms, christenings and private family celebrations.
How I work. Whether we're planning months of content for your business or capturing a family baptism or celebration, I want everyone feeling comfortable and enjoying themselves. We plan the important shots but always leave room for the genuine laughs, emotions and little moments in between.
The short version. Relaxed. Natural. Intentional. Good energy, genuine connections and beautiful photography and video that actually feels like you - whether it's your business, your family or your biggest day.
Our Ethos
To inspire and capture,
“love, laughter & play”
There is so much beauty in this world - in this lifetime;
I want to help draw focus to just that!
Why work with me?
Because I don’t just show up with a camera.I take the time to understand you - how you move, what you value, what actually matters - and capture that in a way that feels natural, not forced.
Whether it’s a brand, a couple or a full-scale event, I bring a calm, intentional approach and a level of care that goes beyond just getting the shot.
You’re not just getting content - you’re getting something that actually feels like you.
My Biggest Challenge
Leaving what I thought was lifelong career in the Australian Army.
After 5 years in Infantry (2016-2021), both shoulders required surgery. What I once saw as a setback became the turning point - stepping away from the Army and backing myself to build something with my cameras.
During recovery, I doubled down on photography - shooting one-handed for artists like Xavier Rudd just days after surgery, and covering multiple events across Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns in a single weekend.
It wasn’t the easy option, but it was the right one.
That chapter built the resilience, work ethic and perspective I now bring into every shoot.

My Greatest Moment
Just days after leaving the Army, I found myself shooting a festival in Townsville - Neck of the Woods, 2021.
Kim Churchill was one of the acts, and I had the chance to connect with him beyond just the lens - one of those moments where everything slows down and you realise you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
The night wrapped with us side stage, singing along to Ball Park Music under a full moon, looking out over the crowd.
That was the moment it clicked - this is what I’m meant to be doing.
WILDD.

My Favourite Sessions
Working within the wellness space - retreats, circles, workshops and community experiences.
I’ve spent the past few years capturing women’s retreats in Bali.
It’s a unique role - part facilitator, part observer, part storyteller.
Capturing the quiet moments, the breakthroughs, the in-between energy that often goes unseen.
I watch people walk in one way, and leave completely different.
Every time - it changes me too.
