Anchør + Høpe holds a place for those who are more comfortable out of the spotlight, happy dancing in the shadows, laughing late into the night with their nearest and dearest. We're for those that keep their cards close to their chest, the quiet hearts and slow burners, for whom the perfect
wedding day is measured in the wealth of friendships, not in dollars spent.
As Melbourne's leading Elopement and Micro Wedding Photography studio,
we know that love is not always simple, but believe the way it's photographed should be.
My heart and my passion lie in capturing the genuine connections that are present and on show in only the most intimate of celebrations.
Here I can afford each guest due regard, and observe and document the relationships that exist - a father shaking the hand of his son-in-law ; grandmothers, separated by language but united by a common love ; a nephew, crawling beneath a table, looking for a place to sleep. The heart of every wedding is found in these transient moments.
This may not be a question you've even considered. But finding the right photographer is about more than just finding someone with pretty pictures and who is within your budget. It's about taking the time to find someone whose approach, personality and aesthetic is keenly aligned with your own ; someone who is genuinely interested in your story and who has the ability to capture your day just as you imagined...
hind & jun
He was our first choice and we were so lucky he was available as we could not have had a better photographer to be part of the day. He was such a calm, genuine and kind energy from start to finish and its been so hard to pick a handful of favourite photos, they're honestly all brilliant!
"We can not speak highly enough of Cam and the magic he brings to capturing stunningly authentic photos to encapsulate pure joy and everything in between on your wedding day.!"
LISA & JASON
Jason and I cannot recommend Cam more highly! Our wedding was COVID cancelled 3 times before we were finally able to say I do Cam was incredibly supportive and beyond flexible. This would have been a horrible time for everyone in the wedding industry. But each time we contacted Cam, all we got was empathy and compassion.
"Then, when we were FINALLY able to get married, Cam was flexible enough to travel an incredible distance with no notice and pulled out genuinely stunning photos."
SAMANTHA + JON
We had an initial engagement shoot with Cam as we felt uncomfortable in front of the camera but he quickly made us at ease. After a few years, Cam also photographed our wedding, he was brilliant on the day, very professional and fit right in. He has produced an incredible album of photographs for us that we will treasure forever.
"Incredible. Cam made the whole process easy, communication was always fluid and easy-going."

Weddings, elopements or perhaps just a significant moment in your journey together.
I shot my first wedding back in 2009 and since then have photographed everything from architecture and design through to food and lifestyle. But my passion and expertise still lies in photographing the human experience and all that entails - from elopements and weddings, family gatherings, through to any other example of the myriad ways we celebrate just being.
