The person behind the lens
Javier Medina
I've spent the last few years following love stories wherever they take me. From intimate celebrations in Europe to weddings a little closer to home, I'm all about couples doing things their own way! Now I'm bringing that same passion to Australia. Big on love, low on rules, and always up for a good adventure.
Intimate Wedding Experience
Your Day, Beautifully Unscripted
Think editorial aesthetics with a documentary soul. I'm here for the beautiful light, the spontaneous moments, the happy tears, the champagne-fuelled dance floors and everything in between. Nothing too stiff, nothing too staged. Just the good stuff, as it happens.
Tell me all about your plans, your dreams and everything in between. I can't wait to hear your story!
Whether you're keeping things small, going all out or packing your bags for somewhere beautiful, there's no right or wrong way to get married. Just make it yours. I'm here for the people, the atmosphere and all those moments that make your day yours.
My approach sits somewhere between documentary storytelling and editorial portraiture. I love beautiful light, incredible landscapes and photographs that make you feel something.
I'm not here to turn your wedding into a photoshoot. I'll give you a little direction when needed, but mostly, I want you to enjoy yourselves, be present and forget there's a camera around. I'll be there for the big moments, the quiet glances, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and all the good stuff happening in between.
My love for photography started with landscapes, and that influence is still a big part of how I see the world. I love using the surroundings, natural light and a little creativity to make portraits that feel effortless, romantic and unmistakably you.
At the end of the day, I want you to have more than just a collection of beautiful photographs. I want you to look through them years from now and be transported straight back. To the people, the atmosphere, the laughter, the feeling of it all. Because that's what it's really about, isn't it?
“Javier was absolutely fantastic from the moment we first contacted him until after the wedding and receiving our beautiful photos. As you expect your wedding to be a once in a lifetime event, bringing your nearest and dearest together, I wanted to ensure these moments were captured and Javier exceeded my expectations of what a good photographer would provide. We had a few chats before the big day and Javier was very friendly and really listened to what we were saying, we felt from the first video call that we were in good hands.
On the day he felt like part of the wedding party and fitted right in, being very approachable and our guests commenting how lovely he was. We did not want lots of staged photos and Javier took this on board and although he is laid back, he is also very professional and this definitely showed in the quality of the photos. After the wedding we received the photos a lot sooner than expected. There were plenty of photos and you are able to share it with guests and also select what photos you would like them to view. There is also an option for guests to download photos. The photos were fantastic!
We feel so lucky to have had Javier at our wedding capturing the day, he is the perfect photographer, I would 100% recommend. Such a lovely person and an incredible photographer!
Thank you so so much Javier”
What People Are Saying
Marianne & Sharif"Javier has a natural eye for capturing the beauty of his surroundings. He is friendly and professional and helped us to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Our photos were efficiently and meticulously edited - we will treasure them!"
Tabitha & Greg"Javier's photography for our engagement and civil wedding ceremony in Montpellier went above and beyond our expectations. As we first talked about our photoshoots, he really listened to what we wanted, working with us closely ahead of time to discuss locations and aesthetics. Javier's artistic mastery combines landscape and wedding photography with a sharp eye and dedication to capturing perfect shots. He really conveyed the joie de vivre of our wedding party and framed us perfectly within the beautiful surroundings of Montpellier.
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Javier."
Stephanie & Jeremy"We spent such a great time with Javier. We did not expect to be so relaxed and comfortable during the shoot. It was fun for us walking around the city and just be ourselves while Javier was carefully immortalizing us in the most beautiful way possible. I think he's very talented and his work speaks loud and clear...no need to add more!"
