living in Geelong Victoria + serving clients worldwide

Nick Watson is a Geelong, Victoria based wedding, elopement, and couples photographer that photographs with both Film and digital cameras, maximising that timeless look and feeling.
His approach to weddings is a mentality of party first, with the important bits sprinkled in-between. Weddings are a celebration, so it's important to feel like a party without being forced to have fun. Starting the Reception with a breakdance circle? YES! Get matching tattoo's after sunset photos? Say no more. Saying "F*** It" let's go overseas and get married somewhere stunning? It's happening 1000%. Embrace the untraditional and do what YOU want to do for your big day and party like there's no tomorrow. 

Rooted in a love of filmy colours, confidence, and journalistic old money imagery with a new money vibe, Nick Watson works with clients wanting MORE than just someone to show up and capture their day, but to be remembered as their new best friend, direct without feeling forced to pose, while being able to candidly capture the moments that matter and cherish forever. 

Powerful images.

powerful love.

the photographer for

party couples

"I Love Love" It's literally tattooed on me. The first time I experienced love was through watching rom-com films growing up, rooting for the main character to get their person, and finding myself crying when they finally do and everyone they love celebrates. Stories like these share a bond with the real stories of the weddings I get to photograph. Capturing the love of two main characters at the end of their own rom-com movie with their family and friends cheering them on.

This is exactly what i need to capture - this film like story you're creating together. Something worth feel good crying over.

I'm Nick, and this is a little about me // My favourite moments of the day are my morning gym sessions, and snuggling up with my 11 year old cat Charlie // Most day's you'll find me scrolling Tiktok & Instagram for wedding inspo or watching the latest movie to come out that week while I edit // Sunday's you'll see me donating plasma and enjoying my weekly steak night with my best mate // I froth a laugh, and will make a pun at any chance I get // I'll take a sunny beach with a cool sea breeze over rainy roads in the city any day // If you asked me what drink i'd go for, I'd tell you a Gin & Tonic with a slice of cucumber and lime (only if it's good gin though) // Sucker for the deep greens in nature, the fresh blues by the sea, raw moments on film, and real emotion // I call Geelong VIC my home but finding my love for travel worldwide.

Let's be real, getting photos taken can be very daunting. Emphasis on feeling too posed!!
The experience you have shooting with Nick, breaks the nerves almost immediately. His friendly and unfiltered personality makes you feel like you're just on a date with your partner. You already know how to be in their company comfortably, Nick showcases that effortlessly.

the experience.

Take a trip down to Amalfi Coast, fresh lemons have grown, the sun's out,  summer is in full force and get hitched next to a backdrop that you only see in the movies. This wedding is one you cannot miss.

the latest from the journal of Nick Watson

“We planned our Geelong, VIC wedding from across the country and had been given a list of recommended photographers. We wanted someone who would bring something a little different, with the editorial perspective of an artist. I'm so glad we looked beyond the list we'd been given and found Nick, because he did exactly that. He has a style that's both filmy and all his own. From our first meeting with him, he was extremely enthusiastic and made us feel like our wedding was genuinely important to him. And on the wedding day, he did a spectacular job of scouting out locations for our first look and family photos. He really put a lot of thought into it, and all we had to do was follow his lead. He put everyone at ease and gently directed us the entire way. I'll forever remember seeing him during the ceremony and dinner, taking photos of the guests, all while capturing amazing shots of all the key moments and lots of small details that I would never have seen if not for him. In short, if you’re looking for a Geelong wedding photographer, I can't recommend Nick highly enough!"

"Nick is the best photographer of all time! Not only are his photos flawless and artistic, but he’s also an incredibly rad human being. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he was—the perfect balance of laid back and engaging, with just the right amount of quirk to get everyone involved. Nick does an amazing job of capturing those authentic, unposed moments throughout the day. It’s so special to have photos of my wife and I embracing when I thought no one was looking."
