A Photographer with 20+ years Event & Hospitality Experience
Hi, I’m Matthew Wallace, a Sydney-based event and portrait photographer. I help businesses, organisations, and families capture natural, memorable moments without fuss.
With over 20 years in hospitality and events, I know how to plan, adapt, and be in the right place at the right time. My goal is simple: make photography easy for you and deliver images that truly reflect the day.
Why Choose Me
I work in a documentary style, capturing real moments, strong compositions, and clean results. Clients often comment on how smoothly everything runs.

Outside Photography
