JB was great! Gave us loads of great options and was very patient with our 2 year old! Would highly recommend him to anyone. Photos turned out amazing too!

We recently had the pleasure of having JB capture our proposal at Airlie Beach, and I can’t thank him enough for the unforgettable experience. Despite the challenging, bipolar weather conditions—sunshine one minute, rain the next—JB was able to adapt seamlessly and still capture every magical moment beautifully.What really made our session stand out was JB’s fun and quirky personality. From the moment we met, he made us feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the experience. No request was ever too much for JB, and he was more than happy to go the extra mile to ensure we got the perfect shots. His energy and enthusiasm truly made the whole process enjoyable.The final photos are nothing short of stunning—every shot was perfectly timed, showcasing the emotion and excitement of the moment. JB’s talent, combined with his laid-back and professional approach, made this a memorable experience we’ll cherish forever.If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also fun, accommodating, and easy to work with, JB is the one! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture such a special day. Thank you again, JB.

Our experience with JB was wonderful.It was our pleasure to have him do our wedding photography and he captured our special day perfectly .

Our experience with JB was fantastic from start to finish. JB’s great communication through the booking and preparation for the wedding was smooth and straightforward. On the day, JB was such a welcome presence and effortlessly captured the special moments before and during the ceremony. The time we spent doing our couples photos after the ceremony was relaxed and fun, which really showed in the final result of the photos. We are so happy with how all the photos came out and it truely captured our special day. I would highly recommend JB for capturing your special day!

we were absolutely blown away with Justin’s professionalism and amazing photography skills! My partner booked him for our proposal and he made us feel so special and really captured all the emotions we were feeling! He went above and beyond to not spoil the surprise proposal for me which I appreciated so much. The quality of the photos is incredible and the turn around to get the photos back was very quick! We highly recommend him for all events! Thank you again Justin!

What can we say about Justin Blank? This guy is amazing. He settled our nerves on our special day and was very accommodating with not only us as the Bride and Groom but all of our guests. Justin was very discrete while taking our beautiful photos and he basically blended in through out the night so we hardly even knew he was there. His laid back demeanor and chilled attitude definitely took a lot of stress off us. Thanks so much JB, we would and will be recommending you to anyone in need of a talented photographer. Thanks for sharing our day with us. Andrew and Sally Ann Morris

JB was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for and was much more reasonably priced compared to others I had found. He responded to all emails promptly, made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and we knew what would be happening. Nothing was too much to ask. We felt so comfortable on the day and he was happy to take us to a private beach for our photos after the ceremony which turned out amazing. We even got about 45 photos back for a sneak peak less than 48 hours after the wedding and these are unbelievably amazing! 100% recommend JB!

Choosing JB as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made!What first set JB apart for us was an initial phone call appointment where he took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision for our special day.He captured the pure and real moments as they happened which was very important to us when picking our photographer. Whether it was a joyful smile, the special moments between us and family and even the spontaneous moments, like me breaking accidentally breaking the sleeves on my dress, twice haha! JB somehow managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive.My husband and I chose to do a first look and our vows privately before the ceremony and JB captured every aspect of that. Every emotion we experienced and the genuine love leaps out of the photos and every shot takes us right back to that moment, thanks to JB’s incredible talent.JB wasn’t just someone who captured our day but is someone we now see as part of our family. He celebrated with us, laughed with us and made us feel comfortable every step of the way.We will forever be grateful to you JB for capturing our day so beautifully.Courtney & Aidan xo

I had an amazing experience with JB for my proposal! From the start, communication was top-notch, always prompt, clear, and eager to accommodate all my requests. He really listened to my vision and tailored the shoot to make it perfect. Capturing stunning moments without being intrusive. The photos turned out amazing — beyond what I could have hoped for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about making your moment unforgettable!

Justin was a pleasure to work with in every way! Very professional and amazing photos. Couldn’t recommend his work enough!

JB was so great right from the start, HIGHLY recommend! We were married sailing on a yacht in the Whitsundays and he went above and beyond for us. Even leading up to the day he was so easy to communicate with and on the day and made it so easy on us, he knew exactly the right places and poses, you didn’t have to think at all.and the quality of the photos are incredible, honestly his work is amazing you won’t be disappointed!!!

Justin was amazing in helping with our proposal He helped me plan it out months in advance and captured the moment beautifully

Justin Blank is a star! Just wanted to share my experience with Justin, who orchestrated the most romantic marriage proposal at the stunning Whitehaven Beach. His creativity in planning the entire event was spot on, and his acting was so convincing that it made the moment even more magical. But what truly blew me away were the photos. They’re not just snapshots; they’re masterpieces that capture the joy, the love, and the beauty of Whitehaven Beach in a way that words simply can’t. Each picture tells a story, and I can’t thank Justin enough for giving us such a beautiful narrative of our special day. If you’re looking for someone to capture life’s precious moments, look no further. Justin’s services are top-notch, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s not just a photographer; he’s a memory maker. Kudos to you, Justin!

JB was a fabulous photographer! He was incredibly responsive when I inquired (relatively last minute), was happy to work with my kids (4 & 6), and produced wonderful photos. He captured the essence of our girls' personalities without much prodding, kept a sense of humor when we weren't the best subjects and was all-around delightful.Though he told us the photos would be ready in 3-4 days (that's super fast if you've used other photographers) but we got them the NEXT day. They are high quality and just fabulous. I am so glad we contacted JB. You will be too!

I got in touch with JB to organise proposal photos in Airlie Beach. Justin made the process super easy and is a great guy.
