Wedding Photographer based in Melbourne, Victoria

About Me

Hi! I’m John, a wedding photographer based in Melbourne, originally from New Zealand.

Before I started photographing weddings, I spent years exploring landscape photography – climbing hills and chasing sunrises. These days, I get to photograph people on one of the most joyful and meaningful days of their lives.

I’ve been to more weddings than I can count – including my own – so I understand how special this day is, and how important it is to have a photographer who genuinely cares about getting it right.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably out hiking or playing music with my wife.

If you like my work, I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help you remember your day!

“We love our wedding photos from John Donaldson Photography! They’re just what we wanted and capture all the special moments of our day. As well, John was great with communication and very easy to work with. We even had to change our photo plans last minute due to wet weather, but the photos still turned out great!”

“Working with John was so easy! The photography went smoothly from beginning to end and John's thoughtful approach made everyone relax and enjoy the day. And of course, the photos were stunning!”
