William — Melbourne Wedding Photographer & Videographer

William — Melbourne Wedding Photographer & Videographer

William co‑founded Tree Studio with Seth in 2009. After more than 15 years working on the front line of wedding photography and videography in Melbourne, he remains driven by the same motivation that first inspired him: to constantly refine how real emotion, atmosphere, and human connection are translated into timeless wedding images and films.

Role & What Couples Gain

Beyond photographing and filming weddings, William dedicates a significant part of his work to educational content for couples—sharing practical insights that help them avoid common mistakes, plan realistic timelines, and make confident decisions about photography and videography.

He is also deeply involved in one‑on‑one consultations, helping couples choose packages and approaches that genuinely suit their venue, schedule, family dynamics, and priorities—rather than forcing them into templates.

Experience & On‑the‑Ground Insight

William has photographed and filmed weddings at most major venues and locations across Melbourne. Years of on‑site experience have given him an instinctive understanding of:

  • Which venues naturally suit romantic, cinematic storytelling—and which require a more documentary approach
  • The best light, angles, and timing for specific locations
  • Where couples often feel stressed or rushed, and how to quietly solve those issues before they escalate

Having worked closely with hundreds of couples, William is known for quickly understanding client personalities and expectations, then tailoring his approach to achieve the strongest possible outcome.

Client Review

Damien O’Dea

Overnewton Castle, January 2025

We got married at Overnewton Castle and had an awesome experience with the team. William was clearly very experienced, which gave us total confidence from the start. Nick photographed our wedding day and made everything feel easy and natural. The photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We’re really happy with the entire process and would absolutely recommend Tree Studio.

🖼️ Wedding Photography and Video Style

William’s work began with a documentary and journalistic foundation. Over time—shaped by extensive reading in philosophy and aesthetics—his style evolved toward Neo Romantic wedding storytelling.

This approach focuses on capturing genuine emotion and atmosphere, while elevating it through refined composition, rhythm, and romantic expression—never staged, never forced.

🎻 Personal Interests

  • Reading: Philosophy, particularly The Republic (Plato), Critique of Pure Reason (Kant), and A Treatise of Human Nature (Hume)
  • Violin: Practises daily, valuing discipline, listening, and emotional control
  • Music: Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 (Movement I), and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 (Allegretto)

These interests strongly influence William’s sensitivity to structure, pacing, and emotional progression in both photography and film.

🤝Team Relationships

Seth: William co-founded Tree Studio with Seth, and their partnership remains strong to this day. Outside of work, they play basketball together for fitness rather than competition—though Seth, by his own admission, still wins most games.

Nick: Nick is William’s go-to collaborator for content creation. Whenever William produces new material, Nick helps bring it to life with engaging video animations, making their YouTube content more captivating and enjoyable for viewers.
