Wedding Photography & Videography in Newcastle, Tamworth & Port Stephens
The Ones Who Capture It
The dynamic team behind the lens
Jarret Schubert
My work is about creating art through candid moments. Quiet glances, belly laughs, nervous hands, chaos, calm, and everything in between — framed with intention while letting real emotion lead.
As a husband and dad to three kids, I know how quickly the important moments pass. When I step into your wedding day, I bring calm direction, creative instinct, and the intention to make your memories feel as real as the day they happened.
Jai Coyle
The big belly laughs. The ugly-cry happy tears. The quiet glances nobody else caught. That’s what I’m here for.
Seven years behind the camera, photographing weddings, proposals, festivals, and everything in between. I’m not there to direct a photoshoot. I’m there to follow your day as it actually unfolds.
The stolen moments, the look your mum gives you when she thinks nobody’s watching, and the dancefloor after everyone finally relaxes. That’s the stuff.
Jacqueline Pallett
I’m Jacqueline — the bubbly blue-haired videographer bringing cinematic energy, creative chaos, and a love for honest storytelling to the JTM team.
I started out shooting music videos and motion graphics for heavy metal bands before moving into events, brands, photography and video. My work has taken me behind the scenes with artists including Threesixty, Alpha Wolf and Beccy Cole.
For weddings, I’m all about capturing the feeling of the day as it actually happened — the movement, the atmosphere, the nervous laughs, the quiet pauses, and the moments you wish you could bottle forever.
Built around people, not poses.
We bring structure where it helps, calm where it matters, and creativity everywhere in between.
Calm Direction
You are guided when needed, without your day feeling forced or overproduced.
Real Moments
We focus on emotion, connection and the small details that make your story yours.
Editorial Finish
Artistic, polished and intentional, while still feeling natural and honest.
Photo + Video Flow
A cohesive creative team working together, not fighting for the same shot.
A complete journey from the ring to the final album.
Explore each part of the journey. From the first quiet decision to the final album, every chapter plays a part in how your story is remembered.
The first quiet decision.
Before the big question, there is the planning. The ring, the timing, the location, and the feeling you want the moment to hold.
This is where the story starts becoming real. It is the first chapter of everything that follows.
The moment everything changes.
Whether it is private, styled, intimate, or surrounded by family and friends, the proposal deserves to be captured with care.
We document the nerves, the reaction, the yes, and the first few minutes after it all sinks in.
Getting comfortable before the wedding day.
Your engagement shoot gives you time to slow down, connect, and get used to being photographed before the pressure of the wedding day.
It helps us learn how you naturally move, laugh, and interact together.
Structure without overproducing it.
Timelines, ceremony details, family photos, speeches, golden hour, and the party all matter.
We help shape the visual flow so photo and video work together naturally, without taking over the day.
Real moments, calmly captured.
The nervous hands, the quiet glances, the ceremony, the portraits, the speeches, the dancefloor, and everything in between.
We guide when needed, then step back when the real moments unfold.
The story becomes something you keep.
After the day is over, your memories are carefully edited, refined, and delivered in a way that lets you relive the feeling again.
From your online gallery and wedding films through to albums and keepsakes, this is where your story becomes part of your family history.
This moment is not a photoshoot. It is your story unfolding.
You will feel it before you see it.
The quiet breath before you walk down the aisle.
The way his hand tightens around yours.
The way the room seems to fade when your eyes meet.
This is not just a wedding day.
This is one of the most meaningful chapters of your life.
Under the creative direction of Jarret, Jay and his team approach your day with a single purpose. To document it as it truly feels.
Not staged, not interrupted and not overproduced, we believe in honest, beautifully crafted storytelling that lets you stay present while every moment is preserved with intention.
Our style blends the refinement of editorial imagery with the truth of documentary photography. The result is imagery that feels effortless, emotional, and timeless. Photographs that do more than show you how the day looked. They take you back to how it felt.
Because the most powerful memories are never the posed ones. They are the quiet glances, the unscripted smiles, the fleeting seconds you never want to forget.
You have enough to think about on your wedding day.
Your story should not be one of them.
Let us carry the responsibility of capturing it, so you can live every second of it.

Typically, we kick off our day with the groom, soaking in the pre-wedding excitement for about 45-60 minutes.
Then, it’s off to the bride’s turf, where we spend another 60-90 minutes capturing all those butterflies-in-the-stomach moments as she gets ready.
Next stop: the ceremony venue, about 45 minutes before showtime. This gives us a chance to set the scene and snap some shots before the guests roll in. Once the “I do’s” are said and done, we’ll wrangle the friends and family for about 15-25 minutes of group photos, followed by a 60-90-minute photo session with the bridal party and newlyweds.
After that, we’ll need 10-15 minutes to prep and capture shots of the reception space before the party kicks off! We’re usually on hand until the last formalities wrap up, or until you make your grand exit with sparklers in hand, feeling like the king and queen of the world as you speed off into the night.
Our style? Think wide-open spaces, mountain vistas, and a healthy dose of fresh air! We’re the kind of folks who’d happily hike a mountain for the perfect shot.

But don’t worry, we’ve got access to awesome tunes from platforms like Envato and Artlist.io for your films. Feel free to browse their libraries and pick out your favorites! And if you’re stuck, no worries! – I have you covered!
Sure thing! While we’re all for capturing those special moments, we don’t really vibe with strict checklists on the big day.
