Hello I’m Ro, owner of Hello Ro Photography, wanderess, chaser of silver linings, awkwardness magnet, LOVER of flannys & sunflowers…
I love chasing the sun, watching the moon, driving with the windows down and wearing flannys with everything. I prefer being barefoot over shoes, face to face over phone or text, vinyl over Spotify, camping over a fancy hotel, a wine by an open fire pit and good conversation over a movie, dandelions over any flower you could buy at a florist and spontaneity over routine... I currently live in my beautiful little studio after finally saying goodbye to my van Alfred Biedermeier...
I couldn’t live without my favourite people in the world and am often travelling all over just to see their faces, I spend most weekends climbing mountains and doing yoga (but these activities make me sound way fitter than I actually am haha). I couldn’t live without music, good food, essential oils and the ocean…
I’m a minimalist and collect memories and experiences rather than things, and after many years capturing my own memories whilst travelling all over the planet I was inspired to become a photographer and capture the moments others want to cherish. I love seeing a moment, a connection and being able to convey that in an image for someone to take with them and have forever...
CAPTURING AUTHENTIC MOMENTS WITH A QUIRKY EDITORIAL EDGE.

My Story
I'm so passionate about capturing the true authentic moments that you'll want to remember during your big (or tiny) life events. I studied photography long before digital photography was a thing when dark rooms were in every high school, and you had to take your film into a dry-cleaning store to have your photos developed. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in print media in 2012 and went back and studied a diploma of digital imagery in 2019. I decided to start my business as a professional wedding and lifestyle photographer in 2019 after teaching photography overseas and travelling all over the world. Since then, I have been helping hundreds of people make their fleeting moments last a lifetime!
I specialise in making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and have many tricks up my sleeve so you can forget I'm there and enjoy the moment (trust me, I completely understand feeling awkward in front of the camera and I gotchu covered). I believe every single person is photogenic and I see the beauty in tiny details and moments that so many people miss seeing.

From red carpet arrivals, weddings, anniversaries, vow renewals or boozy birthday shenanigans I love being able to capture any celebration you’ve got! I live my life making each moment count and I wish everyone the same luxury, I would love to capture the moments that are most important so that you can look back on them for years to come.
No matter what you are celebrating I will make sure your memories are captured in a way that is authentic to you. It’s all about the experience let me know what tunes you vibe to and we’ll be climbing mountains, wandering deserted roads, frolicking in the ocean and chasing waterfalls in no time!
I believe every person is the main character of their own unique story and I want to capture those stories with honesty and tailor your shoots to be just as unique as the experiences you bring with you. I specialise in outdoor sessions and if you don’t have somewhere particularly sentimental in mind as a location for your shoot I will help you to find something that’s perfect for your story.
These shoots are about being free to be yourself. I take primarily candid shots of you just really making memories and enjoying the moment. I’m not into awkward unnatural poses and uncomfortable smiles. These sessions can be solo adventures, or a few friends to celebrate life and each other, or a stag or hens celebration or a cute date with your BAE (or even surprise proposal shhhh…).
No matter what the circumstance I’ll help you choose the perfect adventure for you.
The photos I capture will be documentary style, beautifully honest and natural, and whilst I will give you some direction, for the most part I want you to enjoy it and forget the camera is even there. You can think of me as your session bestie and be one hundred percent yourself!
These sessions include all the best shots of the day delivered as high resolution files in a beautiful online gallery with an integrated print store you can share! I’ll bring the speaker, the camera and I’ll help plan your adventure, you bring the vibes and anything else you want!

We chose Hello Ro for our engagement and wedding photos - 12/10!! Easily one of the best decisions we made! She is an angel. So very easy going and professional. Ro made us feel so at ease (for two people who hate having their photo taken this would have been a challenge) and it honestly felt like just hanging out with a bestie. The quality of the photos and edits blew us away, as well as her amazingly fast turnaround time! All of our guests at the wedding remarked on how much of a pleasure she was to have around. Do yourself a favour and book Ro!! Xo
Jake
We were lucky enough to have Ro as our photographer for both our wedding and engagement shoot. She is so easy to get along with, gives amazing directions and makes the entire experience feel natural and effortless. Her photographs are, of course, exceptional as well! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ro to anyone that will listen.
Katelyn
I couldn’t be happier with the pictures Ro took for us! 100% recommend speaking with Ro about your wedding.
Before, during and after the wedding Ro’s communication was clear, concise and timely. I could tell that Ro was well practiced and asked all the right questions.
On the day, my partner and I wanted someone who would fit in with our vibe (and encourage us as we are both very awkward in front of the camera). Ro worked tirelessly and with a grin at all times. Ro was helpful and coached us out of our shy, awkward selves with ease.
I couldn’t say better things!
PS the turn around time for the photos was amazing. Less than 10 days after the wedding we received our entire album!
Charlotte
The only thing disappointing is that I didn’t book Ro for the whole day. Ro’s style fit perfectly with ours, not only her photography style but her personality, she made the whole process enjoyable and our wedding photos are incredible. Thank you Ro for perfect service and an even more perfect finished product.
Alison
Ro recently photographed our wedding and she did an incredible job. Throughout the whole process, including leading up to the wedding, Ro was fantastic to deal with. She was always quick to respond to any queries we had and was generous with her time when discussing what we wanted on the day. Ro was also a really calming presence on the day - she was fun, energetic, friendly and, most importantly for a wedding, flexible! We were a bit later than scheduled to leave for the ceremony and Ro took it in her stride. This made me feel much more relaxed. After the wedding, Ro sent us some sneak peek photos the next day! We also received our entire gallery within a couple of weeks of the big day. The photos are stunning and reflect the fun and relaxed energy Ro brings. If you’re in need of a photographer, I highly recommend Ro!
Ilona
Ro's professionalism and dedication are unparalleled. Her photos are stunning and she captured the essence of our wedding perfectly. The whole bridal party was immediately at ease with Ro and her directions helped us get past our initial awkwardness! Ro is a beautiful, genuine human who is very easy to get along with. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone getting married!
