What our clients say…
Rog is amazing! He’s punctual, professional with a great eye for detail. Rog got all the shots we wanted and more. Our guests didn’t even notice him taking photos at the ceremony. I would be happy to recommend Rog to anyone.

about us & what we do
Hi, I’m Rog…
- Travel Junkie
- Beer Connoisseur
- Classical Music Lover
- But most of all… A madly passionate photographer!
Prior to commencing ArtyJ Photography, I was a founding director of Popcorn Photography and, since 2007, have shot over 400 Weddings & Elopements (including in the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Central Coast, Port Stephens, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Milan, Tuscany, Venice, Amalfi & Santorini), nearly the same number of eShoots, as well as over 100 Corporate & Commercial assignments.
My working style is pretty laid back, chilled and relaxed, and I’m based in the beautiful Hunter Valley in NSW. That said, I travel extensively and always love having new places to shoot.
Your big day should be all about ‘YOU’, not about me or us (as we normally have two photographers on your wedding day), so we like to capture what is amazing and special about you and your relationship. This starts with our eShoot where we work together to bring out the magic that is your ‘love story’ in a relaxed and candid way.
We also acknowledge and believe that weddings are a celebration of two people in love, no matter their gender, and support the gay & lesbian community in their struggle to gain legal recognition of same sex marriage in Australia.
ArtyJ Photography acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Our standard travel area includes the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Central Coast, Port Stephens, Mudgee, Sydney & the Southern Highlands.
We will only accept one wedding on any given day and all of our photographers are members and Accredited Professional Photographers (APP) with the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP).
Not to brag… but I even have some awards!
- Silver (1 of them) – 2018 AIPP NSW/ACT EPSON Awards
- Bronze (3 of them) – 2013 EPSON International Pano Awards
- Bronze (1 of them – 2012 Creative Asia Awards
- Bronze (1 of them) – 2012 International Loupe Awards
- Bronze (1 of them) – 2012 EPSON International Pano Awards
- Bronze (4 of them) – 2011 International Loupe Awards
I really should enter more… trouble is I’m too busy shooting for clients.
