About Me Averie Ann ~ Founder, Creative Director & Photographer

I am a maker of beautiful things and a lover of color. I believe in dopamine decor—walls painted bright and bold, spaces that make you smile when you wake up. I'm a mother to a wildly imaginative seven-year-old named Auggie, a traveler, a horse lover, and someone who finds joy in transforming everyday life into something extraordinary.

But most importantly, I love taking photos. It's not just my job, it's my passion. I'm never without a camera, and documenting life and moments is a daily practice.

I grew up by the sea in Australia, where my love of art and storytelling began. My Bachelor of Fine Arts from UNSW allowed me to really explore visual narrative and creative expression. I later had the privilege of working with the Australian Centre for Photography, and I've never stopped pursuing photography as an evolving art form—constantly reinventing, always learning.

Before weddings I spent years photographing live music, learning to watch, wait, and capture what's real. That same intuition guides how I shoot now—nothing posed, nothing forced. Just the feeling of it all.

Beyond the camera, I paint bright, colorful murals throughout my home (recently featured in Apartment Therapy), style interiors, and make spaces come alive. I've recently moved to the Hudson Valley, calling the Kingston area home, where the light and landscape inspire me daily.

With years of experience I'm honored to have my work featured in publications like Vogue, Brides, Nouba, and Hello May. I shoot on both digital and film, with a special love for 35mm and Super 8.

It would be an honor to be part of your special day, preserving the moments that matter most.

Let's create something beautiful together.

Artist Statement

I photograph love the way it really looks. Messy. Tender. Unfolding in glances and gestures. Bare feet on grass, hands brushing by accident, the quiet relief of finding your person in a crowded room.

I don’t care much for perfect. I care about what’s true. A father’s eyes welling up. A crooked boutonniere. A bride laughing with her mouth wide open. Those are the things people remember.

My job is to pay attention. To stand in the corner and notice the small things. The things that don’t announce themselves but hold the most weight. I try to disappear a little. Let people be who they are when they think no one’s watching. That’s when the good stuff happens.

I think of photographs as memory anchors. Not centerpieces or showpieces, but quiet holders of feeling. I want my couples to look back and say yes, that’s exactly how it felt.

Weddings can be loud. Chaotic. Sometimes overwhelming. But there’s always softness underneath. My work lives there.

It’s not about me. It never has been. It’s about building something that lasts. Something your children will hold in their hands someday. Something that reminds you, even years from now, that it was real. That you were there. That it mattered.
