Anastasia Photography – Wedding and Family Photographer Sydney Australia Worldwide bio picture

Our life is a succession of moments. Some disappear, some become memories you never want to let go of. There is beauty all around us, in the smallest things like a sparkly raindrop, a lover’s embrace, your baby’s tiny hand wrapping around your finger, holding on tight.

My camera is one of my greatest teachers, telling me to slow down and stay in the present, to document what is important, showing me what the meaning of life is through its viewfinder.

When we travel (the mountains have my heart), the most treasured souvenirs we bring back are the photos from our adventures. When we get lost in the routines of our everyday life, I know it’s time to stop and notice, and pick up the camera to capture the seemingly mundane things, because I am so very aware that my little boy is never going to be this little again.

I live on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia, and I am inspired by its abundant beauty every single day.

I would be honoured to capture the treasured moments of your life.

Connected

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”

– Judy Garland

Sweet moments of connection.Those quiet, lovely seconds when you look into each other’s eyes and see that you don’t have to say anything at all, when all that’s inside your heart, inside your soul is known, is appreciated, is understood by this beautiful person in front of you. You have a secret language that noone else speaks. Every touch is overflowing with tenderness. Your hands are always linked, creating your own little circle that holds a whole world inside. This is love.

And the big day is getting closer and closer, the day when you will stand in front of your family and friends and pronounce the words that will tie the two of you together for eternity. And you will hold your hands, like you always do now. From that moment long time ago, when you first held on tight to each other, riding the bike across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and into forever.

You have found The One.

While we were wandering around Botanical Gardens and The Rocks, and then watched the sunset from The Observatory Hill during Maria and Serge’s engagement session, and as I was capturing their sweet moments I got simply blown away by the connection these two amazing people have. And I am so looking forward to photographing their wedding in January.
