Geelong Wedding Photographer – Capturing Your Story, Naturally | Ashleigh Kennedy Photography
Hi, I’m Ashleigh – the face and heart behind Ashleigh Kennedy Photography – and if you’re searching for Geelong wedding photographers who’ll capture your day with authenticity, warmth, and zero awkward poses… you’re in the right place.
I’m based right here in beautiful Geelong and have spent the last few years documenting weddings across the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and beyond. My style is natural, candid, and relaxed – real smiles, real love, real moments.
In this post, I’m sharing a bit about my approach to wedding photography, some favourite Geelong wedding venues, and what you can expect when you choose to work with me. Whether you're newly engaged or deep in planning mode, I hope this helps!
Why Choose a Local Geelong Wedding Photographer?
There’s something special about working with someone who knows your location inside and out. As a local wedding photographer in Geelong, I bring more than just a camera – I bring a deep knowledge of our beautiful region, the best light at each venue, and the little secret spots for golden hour portraits.
Beyond logistics, I truly believe your wedding photos should feel like you. I’m there to help you feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully present with each other – while I quietly capture all the magic unfolding around you.
My Style: Candid, Joyful & Unscripted
I focus on storytelling. The quiet moments. The belly laughs. The tears in your mum’s eyes during your vows. The look you give each other when you think no one’s watching. That’s the good stuff, and that’s what I’ll capture for you.
So if you're after stiff, posed, overly filtered shots… I might not be your girl. But if you're after real emotion, beautiful natural light, and images that take you back to exactly how it felt – I’d absolutely love to chat.
Favourite Geelong Wedding Venues
Geelong is overflowing with amazing wedding venues – here are just a few I absolutely love photographing:
-
The Pier Geelong – stunning waterfront views and elegant indoor lighting.
-
Mt Duneed Estate – perfect for winery weddings with rolling hills and epic sunsets.
-
Provenance Wines – great light, exposed brick, and seriously romantic vibes.
-
Geelong Botanic Gardens – soft, green, and lush in every season.
Every venue brings something unique, and I’m happy to help you plan your day around the best photo ops and lighting for wherever you say "I do."
