Hayden Phoenix Photography
Hi I’m Hayden.
My love affair with light and capturing images started in New Zealand one Christmas day when I was 12 years old. After opening my presents I walked down to Stanmore Bay beach for a swim and found an old Olympus film camera sitting in the sand. That's how it started.
Fast forward through the years, I studied photography in Auckland, lived in Tokyo where I became obsessed with polaroid, then London where I shot my first wedding (not as scary as I had imagined). After many U.K weddings I shot my first destination wedding in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. As a lover of travel I was hooked. I went straight back to London and did everything I could to book more destination weddings. More followed throughout Italy, France, Corsica, Iceland, Cyprus, Japan, New York, N.Z & Rarotonga.
I'm now based on the stunning Gold Coast with my wife Nicola and my little dancer Alaya. I'd love to get out and shoot more weddings around Australia but I'm also content with all the incredible couples and locations the G.C, Brisbane and Northern NSW has to offer.
I look forward to meeting you!
