Meet The Team

Matthew

I’m Matt — founder of Studio September, photographer, creative, and lifelong visual storyteller. Based in Sydney and originally from the South Coast, I’ve spent over a decade immersed in creative industries — from painting and tattooing to photography, branding, and visual direction.

Studio September began as a natural extension of my love for both design and emotion — logic and love, structure and story. My work is deeply rooted in capturing connection.

I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography, as well as commercial visual campaigns that bring brands to life. I don’t believe in filler or fluff — I believe in legacy, in depth, in the art of creating something that feels like you. Whether it’s a wedding, a rebrand, or a full-scale production — my goal is always the same: to build something that lasts.

Heather

I’m Heather — photographer, explorer, memory-catcher, and long-time romantic at heart. Born in Sydney and raised in California, my journey with photography began with a roll of film on my dad’s old Pentax and a curiosity for light, love, and connection.

After graduating from the renowned Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, I spent the next decade building a career that would take me across the globe — from Israel to Hawaii, New York to Punta Cana — capturing weddings, portraits, and everything in between. Since establishing my business in Los Angeles in 2012, I’ve had the honour of photographing over 450 weddings and milestone moments.

I believe in telling love stories honestly, naturally, and with heart. Outside of the camera, you’ll usually find me in nature, planning the next adventure, or cooking something new for the people I love. I'm here to curate your legacy — not just for today, but for every day you’ll want to remember.

Aaron

I’m Aaron — filmmaker, editor, and visual storyteller. Since 2018, I’ve worked across advertising, entertainment, fashion, and tourism — but it’s weddings that bring me back to what’s real. There’s nothing quite like documenting people on the happiest day of their lives.

Filming has been a lifelong love — from experimenting as a kid to turning it into a career I’m genuinely grateful for. I’ve had the honour of capturing love stories across Australia, the UK, Vietnam, and even Iceland. Shooting in new places keeps me inspired (and I’ll never say no to a working holiday).

My approach is relaxed but intentional. I believe the person behind the camera should feel just as joyful as those in front of it. Weddings, elopements, engagements — I film it all with heart, laughter, and a steady hand. This isn’t just work for me. It’s what I love to do — and I feel lucky to do it every time.

Dillon

I’m Dillon — portrait and fashion photographer working across both digital and film. With an eye for editorial style and a love for natural moments, my approach is all about capturing the energy of how it really felt — the emotion, the details, the atmosphere.

Based between Sydney and the Illawarra, I’ve been lucky to shoot everything from weddings and elopements to engagements and proposals. Love is at the centre of it all, and it’s what keeps me inspired.

Whether I’m behind the lens on a windswept cliff or in a quiet city studio, I’m always chasing honesty in every frame — timeless imagery that tells the truth of the moment.
