It all began with an dream.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to wake up everyday and spend every moment with the people you love? Knowing that your job for the day is to capture people’s happiness and give it back to them to re live forever.
That is our dream, and it has come true….
Hi there! If you have made it to this point we should probably introduce ourselves. We are Gavin and Helena, a loving photography & videography family currently shooting all over Australia. Together, we have shot weddings, couples and families all over the world, it is our mission in life to make you cry, laugh and waaaaaoooow!
But less about you, here’s more about us 😝
Helena has spent most of her childhood in Eastern Europe. Her bold and artistic approach to photography led her into the fashion industry where she blossomed as a photographer. Her fairytale-like portraits are renowned internationally and have taken her all over the world. Helena Santi Photography has been listed in the 100 best wedding photographers of Australia and New Zealand and her work has been published in many European editorials. You will meet her at weddings, emotive portraits, family and children’s photo sessions, boudoir and maternity photoshoots as she is first shooter and chief editor at GOYA Weddings.
Gavin and Helena met in Sydney, and have been inseparable ever since. Gavin’s background in travel and events photography and video have given him the candid and emotional edge that compliments Helena’s style which makes them the the perfect wedding duo. Gavin is the main videographer and the face behind GOYA Weddings social media & email accounts. He is the one who guides clients through every step of the photoshoot with advice on locations and outfit, viewing and ordering sessions.
When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll find us travelling the world exploring new horizons. Now armed with our Tiny sidekick Yesenia, the newest member of the GOYA team, finding uncharted territory and experiencing all the beauty the world has to offer is our passion.
We can’t wait to get to know YOU better! Thanks for stopping by!
Our TEAM
BOSS
She is cute but feisty,
She is shy but cheeky
She is the one who make us move our lazy bums in the right direction and calls all the shots.
She can get really grumpy if she doesn’t have things her way.
ARTIST
The visionary of the team.
The creator of ideas, locations and wardrobe. She will do whatever it takes for the perfect shot, leave it to her and you will be kissing on the side of a cliff edge or swimming in the pond in your wedding dress.
REALIST
The one who actually gets things done around here.
He thinks he is “The Boss” and “the Artist” but really just keeps an eye on the other two and holds a camera.
