Our Story
Hi! We're Sally and Felicity - a Victorian-based fine art wedding photography partnership co-founded by two close friends (and fellow photographers). We met 12 years ago while studying photography at RMIT in Melbourne.
One sunny afternoon while sitting under a beautiful big tree at the Carlton Gardens, we decided to join forces and open a wedding photography business. Shortly after this fateful day, Pepperberry Photography was born!
Why choose pepperberry?
Our Approach
Our work has an airy, light-filled and organic feel to it – we love to shoot mainly in natural light working with whatever the day provides us! Pepperberry’s signature style is timeless, romantic and elegant, as we believe your wedding photos should capture the love, joy and happiness of your day in the most authentic way possible.
We love to take a candid and photojournalistic approach to our work most of the time, however we will set up and direct a portion of the images taken on the day. This will allow us to showcase the details and people at your wedding in the best light and produce beautiful, creative and unique photographs that capture the essence of your story. Our goal is to subtly guide you when necessary and remain as discreet as possible the remainder of the time – so much so, that you might forget we’re even there!
Working together seamlessly on all wedding shoots, we will capture every angle of your special day without missing a beat. Together, our images will combine to portray a raw and honest account of your day as it happened – the people, the location, the environment, the light, the atmosphere, and everything in between!
Both romantics at heart, we feel privileged to be entrusted with the immense task of capturing a couple’s love story. We have so much fun at every wedding but we still take our job very seriously, recognising the important role we play in your big day. Our mission for each and every wedding we shoot is to put our hearts and souls into creating beautiful, emotive and powerful images that our couples will treasure for the rest of their lives.

My love of photography began at a young age, while taking lots of photos on travels with my family. As a visual person, photography has always been my preferred form of expression and has now grown into a lifelong passion.
Finding myself particularly drawn to wedding photography, I embrace the opportunity to be involved in such a special day in people’s lives. I loves documenting the joy and emotion of a wedding day, as well as all the little details that make each wedding a unique reflection of the couple.
Graduating with a Diploma of Photoimaging from RMIT and a Diploma of Auslan from Melbourne Polytechnic, my technical photography skills , friendly nature and ability to communicate with a wide variety of people, in particular the deaf community, give me a unique approach to wedding photography.
Whether it’s the picturesque landscape at a wedding venue, an intricate handmade dress or an exquisite flower, I love to capture beauty and style in all forms. My eye for detail and composition, along with my whimsical style help me create wedding imagery that is both striking and memorable!
I am a quiet observer with a considered approach to the images I create, however I also love the spontaneity of capturing the emotion that can be found in the ‘in-between’ moments of a wedding day.
I developed a love of photography in my high school years, and went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Photomedia) from Monash University and a Diploma of Photoimaging from RMIT. I like to draw on my background in fine arts as well as my technical photography skills to produce highly creative and meaningful images for every client I have the privilege of working with.
Kind Words
Sally & Felicity were the perfect wedding photographers! My husband and I had our dream wedding in 2017 on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and were thrilled to have Pepperberry as our photographers! They went above and beyond to make sure we could get all of the shots we wanted at several locations on the peninsula but also made sure we weren’t too rushed on the day and we had time to enjoy every moment!
They met with us before our wedding day to make sure our wedding ran as smooth as possible and to ensure they captured everything and everyone involved in our special day.
When we received the photos back... WOWWW! Better than we could have ever imagined! They truely captured our wedding day PERFECTLY! Thanks so much ladies!

We worked with Felicity and Sally for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. They both made us feel so comfortable behind the camera and really ran with our individual personalities. It was great having them both there capturing two different perspectives during our special day.
Overall we were so happy with the quality and quantity of the photos and we couldn't have asked for a better couple of girls to work with - highly recommend!
