Hello! ♥

We are Gene + Amanda (Monty + Marvin too 🐾),
The Team behind Love + The Lens

As a husband and wife team, our own love story inspires us to seek out the genuine and fleeting moments that make each wedding unique. We specialise in weddings because we believe in love and the powerful stories it tells.

Our story together began in 2016, and since then we have travelled worldwide taking photos together. Our love blossomed and we married in February 2020.

As we found joy in taking photos together, we’ve found that we love taking photos of other couples & Love + The Lens was born!

For the past three years, we've had the joy of documenting the magic of weddings through our photography. We've recently expanded our skills to include full videography services, allowing us to preserve your special moments in both stunning documentary-style photos and beautiful videos.

Enough about us though!

We can't wait to meet you and learn about the love story we'll capture next
