Nostalgic & heartfelt storytelling for all love stories.

A photo taken by Fire & Fly Photography, Coffs Harbour, of a bride and groom on their wedding day. She has long blonde hair and he has dark dreadlocks. They are standing on a pathway and kissing.

This chapter of your story — whether it’s your first kiss as a married couple or a perfectly (extra)ordinary day at home with your little people — is pure magic.

And it’s not because of how you look or where you are or what you’re wearing … it’s because of how you feel.

It’s because you’re bursting with the type of love that makes your heart feel three sizes too big. And isn’t that worth capturing?

Howdy folks, I’m Jules.

Julia, the photographer at Fire and Fly Photography on the Coffs Coast, is smiling directly at the camera, holding her own towards it. She has a big smile and red lipstick.

I'm a big-hearted, dusty-footed romantic with a thing for ghost stories, very round rocks and rooftop wine bars.

If you invite me to hang out with my camera, I’ll also be your personal cheerleader, hype girl, anti-anxiety wizard, dirty joke teller, light hunter and bad dancer.

I’m going to tell you how gorgeous you look, cry along with you during your vows, look for fairies with your kids, and fall as in love with this moment as you are.

You can get to know me better here.

Hot Damn Julia! These photos are absolutely magical and have brought us both so much joy! As someone who has always been convinced I am not photogenic, you brought out the best of both of us with your commentary and laughter!

Honestly girl, you have such a pure talent that is undeniable! We are so blessed to have had you capture our big day (with all of its unexpected weather challenges!) through your lens. Thanks for being gentle with us and showcasing our love in such a raw and honest way! We can’t wait to print your art and have it in our home forever. You are a gem ✨
— Jen and Alan

All heart, no awkwardness — promise.

You might feel weird about having your picture taken. But my hidden talent is making people feel good bloody brilliant in front of the camera. It’s just like hanging out with a friend (except I’ll always tell you what to do with your hands).

Photos are like time capsules.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with relics of the past.

My mum’s jewellery box. Dad’s paintings. Old photographs. I would spread our family albums out on my bed and time-travel to moments and memories.

In high school, my friend and I even buried a box full of our favourite things — letters to ourselves, photos, tapes — to be dug up one day in the future.

Well, we never did find that box. But I’m still just as obsessed with capturing a moment — and a feeling — in time. Now I just do it with a camera (no shovel required).

Every chapter of your story is worth preserving. If you’d like to hold onto this one - I’d love to be there.

“Wow!!! Thank you so much, the photos are beautiful. They are even more magical than we could have imagined, we will treasure them forever. I’m already excited for a little family shoot when she joins us earthside.” — Josie and Jake

“Amazing photographer and a wonderful person who helped make our day perfect. Julia found us the perfect location to suit our pre-ceremony photos and captured the memories of our wedding day. When we got a sneak peek of a few pictures a couple of days later both myself and my husband were totally blown away, then to receive the rest a couple of weeks later and getting to sit down and relive it all was so lovely — seeing the candid shots of special moments of us with our family and friends we didn’t even know we’re being taken was unbelievable. Julia captured “us” and our personalities shone through, we can’t stop looking at them!!” — Sandy and Duncan

“Thank you Julia for the love and ease you captured in our family photos. They are beautiful, expressive and portray my family with beautiful light, colour and joy. Our time on the beach was relaxed, fun and engaging. Even my partner who does not enjoy being in photoshoots enjoyed it. So many people commented on the beauty go the photos when I posted them.” — Wendy

Real love, baby | Wedding photography, families, maternity and more.
