who what when where why?
Finally, time to brag about my achievements in third person. Kidding. Haven't even studied.
You’re about to chew the fat with a ruthless, queer and creative clutz. Name's Jackson.
A snapper and film maker, with a deadset passion for keeping tabs on ambient music releases, and finding where the best Chicken Parmigianas live. Oh and Reformer Pilates is my secret to eight hours of wedding comfort.
Avva' browse at my interview with Fashion Journal would ya?
Would marry a Chicken Parma, may win 'best dressed' on your wedding day, loves an Amaretto Sour, I'm a bit of a smart-arse, I'll talk your ears off about music, oh and does anybody have a contact for magic mushrooms? 🍄

Weddings
Who
Never attended a wedding as a guest, but boy do I act like one.
Since moving to the big city life from the middle-of-nowhere (Albury / Wodonga), it all began with a year off after high school.
Eventually, the weekends of getting wine pissy with the girls came to an end, and I was fortunate to give university a go.. before dropping out one week later lol. I put down the casked wine, and picked up a retail job.
I was always welcome back at Jen and Steves house, but keeping a roof over my head meant making up my mind.
Twas' a sunny weekend back in 2014 where I copped a last minnie 'paid invite' to my first ever celebration of lurrrve, cameras in hand. I told my boss I was sick, and in the words of Hillary Duff, I thought.. ‘Why not?’ 💅🏼



What
With photography, I'll stick around for 8 hours, and swing you roughly 400 flicks (the good and the questionable!)
My 5 hour package will get'cha 250ish. Trust me, you do not need 600+ flicks. Go on, read the FAQs why don't you?
With videography, I offer two packages. One includes the animations and Super 8mm film, and if you aren't bothered by the animations or the old school film component, then my other package sticks to digital only.
I make 4 to 6 minute long highlight reels, and hit record on your ceremony n' speeches too. Not to worry, I've got a pretty fine music taste. If you're after both photo and video, I think I've got an idea.. do ask 😉
I ain’t cheap, but I’m also not a fan of making dog shit work that doesn’t show you off accurately 🤝


When
Stepped into this ten years ago now, and damn have I got some stories.
From getting stuck in the middle of a Greek Zorba dance, to somehow waking up on Adam Lamberts couch after a wedding in Los Angeles. This so called 'job' takes you places 🤝
Whether it's miles away or super last minute, putting a face to a name beforehand is how I roll here at JGW HQ. Unless theres a Piña colada in front of me, you've got my consistent attention. I'm not here to book n' burn myself out. I tackle 25 weddings annually to maintain the creative intelligence.
If you’re around Melbourne, I'll want to meet you in person, and am happy to drive to you (seriously, you should see my reverse parallel parks). If you’re across the globe, let’s chug a wine over a Google Meet call.
I won't be throwing in the towel any time soon. Let's get this show on the road darl.
Why
Look, there are tons of us wedding folk out there.
No two weddings are the same. I'm not just going to rock up and see what happens. My folio stems strictly from maintaining a point of difference.
Our industry focuses on two people, whereas I champion everybody under the one roof. It's so bloody important for me to grab the feelings that are evoked from your day, to ensure you feel the same way forty, fifty, sixty years later.
It's an endless dance of creating my own stories, whilst still violently paying attention to yours.
This job is as difficult as the last quarter of a 3AM kebab, and you best believe we've all been there. To enjoy is the only thing 💛
