The Story
I have photographed weddings for over 15 years, predominantly in Sydney, The Hunter Valley & New Zealand. I have experienced a full range of emotions taking part in some fantastic love stories; these locations will always be held dear to my heart along with the memories of the amazing couples I have befriended along the way. After documenting some amazing Melbourne weddings in December of 2014, I fell in love with Victoria and decided to move to Melbourne for 3 years documenting some more amazing love stories;
As of 2018, I am back home in Newcastle, living my passion for documenting real human moments.
When starting Nicholas Joel my vision was to offer a truly all inclusive high quality product, totally customisable for my clients with amazing quality images, service and experience.
I'd like to take a moment to truly thank you for making the time to check out my passion for photography.
Documenting the special moments in a persons life has become my art form.
Your story embodies what I love about life, it is why I do what I do, every story is different and deserves it’s own unique approach, welcome to my passion.
Let me experience your love story from the first email, to the couple photo session, to the wedding day.
Your story began long before I met you and will last long after the click of the shutter. As the seasons pass, the time moves on from generation to generation your story can be remembered through the imagery composed as I partner with you to create a representation of your love as you begin a life together.
As a passionate creative wedding photographer who has been in the industry for over 10 years now, I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to do something I love for so long.
I’ve built my reputation around being the best, not just providing the best quality photography but the best service as well.
People who are attracted to my style want their memories documented professionally in a photo journalistic way with all the quality that represents the importance of their special day.
My quality comes from thousands of hours of practise, years of giving up weekends, doing extra educational workshops and most importantly being passionate for my art form.

I supply an average of around 900 images per wedding, however the number of images depends on various factors such as number of guests, coverage, lighting on the day, weather, style of the wedding etc All the images delivered are edited and in high resolution via the Cloud.
USB?
First there where film negatives and prints, then came CD and DVD disc’s after that USB’s were the latest addition to image storage. However as of 2017 I have replaced USB’s with the Cloud. All of your images are available to download via your own personal online gallery in the cloud. Using the cloud is more environmentally friendly, It is easier to send your wedding images to friends and family so they can download them too. ALL of your images are in high resolution – in the exact same file size and format that used to be on the USB. You can back them up to a USB or hard drive of your own, for safe keeping and take them into a lab to order prints. As well, the cloud works as a great way for backing up your wedding photos off site.
Albums. Many photographers include ‘albums’ however like cars, there are many different types of albums. There is a big difference between a 2017 Mercedes AMG-S65 and a ‘used’ 1984 VK commodore, on the same note a photographer might include a cheap Chinese made album or one of the $60 books from big W or a beautiful Queensberry album – hand made in New Zealand. I only offer the top quality albums and prints to match the quality and detail I put into my photography.
