I'm Amelia,
the eye behind Haus of Ouwerkerk.
My work is guided by a simple philosophy: your wedding day should feel like a celebration, but your gallery should look like a magazine lookbook.
I spent years working inside fast-paced commercial production environments and shooting high-end independent fashion campaigns. That background completely dictates how I look at your wedding day.
I don't look at a couple and see traditional, stiff poses. I see structural lighting, natural human chemistry, the way a premium fabric falls in motion, and the quiet, fleeting instances that pass in a split second. My technical training taught me how to walk into any environment. Whether it's a moody Melbourne downpour or a low-light indoor venue and immediately control the frame so you look effortless and high-end.
But most importantly, I am here for the beautiful chaos.
I design my spaces specifically for couples who want stunning, timeless art, but who also want to get a little weird. If you want the gorgeous, romantic veil shots but you also want to stand on the reception tables, pop champagne in the middle of the street, and take a few blurry, unhinged, high-fashion afterparty frames—I am your person. I give you just enough direction to keep you looking incredible, without ever making your wedding feel like a forced, clinical photoshoot.
To keep my creative energy entirely dedicated to my couples, I selectively restrict the number of weddings I shoot each year. When you book Haus of Ouwerkerk, you get me from the initial timeline planning to the final click of the edit. No outsourced freelancers, no random hand-offs. Just an intentional, stylised mix of rich digital captures and textured, nostalgic 35mm analog film frames designed to preserve exactly how your day actually felt.
Let's make something timeless (and a little wild) together.
Who I Work Best With
You’re Meticulously Organised, But Completely Present.
You’re a beautiful mix of Type A behind the scenes and Type B on the dance floor. You’ve spent months organizing spreadsheets, curating details, and building a timeline. But you did it with one specific goal in mind: so that when the day finally arrives, you can completely let go. You want a photographer who respects your schedule, coordinates flawlessly with your vendors, and then protects your peace so you can actually enjoy the party.
You Have a Visual Concept, Not Just a Pinterest Checklist.
I create my best work with couples who possess a distinct personal style. Whether you are leaning into an unconventional theme, building a highly specific design concept, or curating an "anti-bride" aesthetic, you care about the visual narrative. You value intentionality over tradition and aren't afraid to step outside the standard wedding box to make something entirely your own.
You Want Breathtaking Art Mixed with Beautiful Chaos.
You appreciate the high-end, timeless editorial portraits that will look stunning on your wall for decades—but you also want the unhinged, chaotic-cool frames that capture how the night actually felt. If you want the gorgeous veil shots and you want to stand on the reception tables, pop champagne in the middle of a Melbourne street, and capture blurry, high-fashion afterparty frames on 35mm film, we are an exact match.
