I love to think of my artistic approach to wedding photography as; light, exciting & colourful. My highly unique and desirable editing style is highly influenced by the pristine beaches and breathtaking rural landscapes that we call home here in the Hunter Valley. 

Using natural light is my favourite for creating lasting moments. I always encourage an outdoor adventure when capturing your wedding day, or elopement, and LOVE getting outdoors at sunset to capture some special golden moments.

My approach to capturing your wedding photos is authentic & true to who you are as a person. This means you can show up on your wedding day, be yourself and expect to be able to look back and feel like yourself in the photos










Let's talk about my style!

Light • romantic • energetic

Why Photo?

I thought it was only reasonable to tell you a little more about myself for you to connect with me on your wedding day. Here is why I'm out here living my wildest dreams!

I've always been a naturally creative person as well as an entrepreneur at my core. My photography passion started when I was 14 on a family holiday to Fiji.

At age 16, I started up my first and longest running business 'Bryce Hall Photo & Video'. For the next couple of years, I would go on to take photos & videos of some of the most amazing events all around Newcastle!

While capturing a range of exciting events still has a place in my heart, I knew my calling was to become a full-time wedding photographer and tell YOUR story!

Fast forward to two years ago, we decided to launch Ocean Way Collective. This is our way of proving to Newcastle and the Hunter that weddings don't have to be boring and traditional, they really can be the greatest day of your life. Let's get the party started and kick back for some of the MOST exciting times ever!

WHY PHOTO?

Having the perfect wedding photographer is not only about hiring someone who takes photos you LOVE. It's also important that you can have a laugh and get along with them! On your wedding day, I will be there for the majority of your day, so having a level-headed, calm and hilarious (if I do say so myself) photographer is a MUST! 

Let me be the calming reassurance on your day and your personal hype guy! I will be all about you as a couple and will have spent months looking forward to your day so I will show up stoked to be there and ready to start the day! 

Being a wedding photographer never feels like a job or a chore to me, so you'll often find me showing up early on the day because I love what I do so much that I just can't wait to get into it!

Keeping it REAL on your wedding day!

WHY PHOTO?

" We booked an engagement photo shoot with Ocean Way Collective on the weekend and we have received our complete gallery 3 days later. To say we are impressed is an understatement. The photos taken are beyond what we hoped for. The moments captured by Bryce are as a result of his creativity and huge talent.

When we turned up to the photo shoot Bryce was early and had already scoped out the location and found the ideal spots for the various photo opportunities. Prior to the day he gave us plenty of recommendations for locations and worked with us right up till the last moment to narrow down our final choice. We felt instantly at ease and Bryce spoke to us throughout the engagement shoot about our wedding day, asking questions to get more information about our planning, personalities and our style. My partner and I both felt awkward thinking about getting our photos done prior to the day but during the shoot we were laughing and having fun - 0 awkwardness!

Bryce guided us through a whole range of prompts and had us in hysterics. We are so excited for our wedding as a result of seeing our photos and any worries of feeling awkward in front of a camera have disappeared. We absolutely can't wait to work with this company for our wedding and we seriously cannot recommend them enough to anybody who may want to try them out during an engagement shoot or for their wedding or if you are lucky like us, for both. If you are considering booking OWC for your wedding or engagement do yourself a favour and get in quick because these guys are amazing."

"Bryce & Ty captured our wedding in Sept 2022 and we honestly couldn’t recommend them anymore.

After our original photographer had something come up, completely out of their control I was stressed. I surfed the internet, social media and found the boys.

I emailed them the moment I found their instagram because their work was phenomenal, Bryce replied straight away, with the most easy going process.

The payment process, communication and overall service was amazing by both the boys, they altered their run sheet for our day to suit our needs, got the most perfect photos of our entire day, and to top it off, got our highlight album to us within 12ish hours after our wedding & our entire album to us in about 3 weeks. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for photo/video! "

"Loved working with these boys. We had Bryce for our Engagement Party in 2020, and we were so stunned we had to rebook for our big day in 2022.

Ty and Bryce are absolutely the best in the business and are so easy to work with. They are definitely the dream team. With their experience, patience and creativity, we were mind blown, picture after picture!


We have a life time of gorgeous, classic, breathtaking photographs and videos to look back on. If we could do it all again, they would be the first vendors we would rebook and are always the first people we recommend to newly engaged friends/family

Wouldn’t go with anyone else"
