Darren

Photographer/Content Creator

The heart and soul behind Lune Weddings. With over two decades of experience in the art of photography, I specialise in capturing the unique beauty and emotion in every moment.


My journey into photography began over two decades ago, when I picked up my first camera. My father was an avid film photographer and keeper of memories, so my home was full of photo albums. Somewhere in those pages, I understood what photographs are really for.


I’m driven by a desire to preserve the fleeting, ephemeral moments that make life so special. My passion goes beyond just taking pictures, I create visual narratives that reflect the true essence of your most cherished memories.

 

 

yOur Vision & our Mission

We believe every photograph should be more than an image β€” it should be a timeless work of art. Through a refined blend of editorial elegance and candid storytelling, we capture the genuine emotions, intimate connections, and beautiful moments that make your love story unique.


At Only May Photography, we are dedicated to creating an exceptional, personalised experience from our first conversation to the final delivery of your cherished memories. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, ensuring your journey with us is as meaningful as the photographs we create.

"Where to begin! Steven and his team were an absolute joy to work with. They have a rare talent for making professional portraits feel effortless while simultaneously capturing the most beautiful candid moments. Their creativity throughout the day was inspiring, and they truly captured the 'magic' of every second. If you want photographers who are as fun as they are skilled, I couldn't recommend them more!"

"We truly cannot recommend our Steven from Only May Photography to capture your wedding day enough. From the very beginning, his communication was attentive, responsive, and he genuinely listened to everything we asked for. Leading up to the wedding day, I even sent him my Pinterest mood board of photos I loved, and he completely understood and brought that vision to life!


On our wedding day, he was so easy to get along with and fit in effortlessly with our guests, family, and bridal party. My partner and I are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera (especially for professional photos) but after seeing just the sneak peek, we were absolutely blown away. We look so natural that it’s honestly hard to believe it’s us in the photos!


The photos are exactly what we wanted: warm, editorial, and full of feeling and emotion. You can truly see the love not just on our faces, but in the expressions of our guests as well. Every photo captures real moments and genuine emotion so beautifully, it really brought me to tears.


Even from just the sneak peek alone, we can’t recommend him enough, and urged our friends to book him in for their upcoming weddings. The photos make us want to get married all over again just to relive that day…. but thankfully, we get to relive it through our incredible pics! And we are so excited to see the rest of the gallery, videos and drone shots!"

"Originally for my wedding I wasn't going to get videography but last minute changed my mind and wanted it for my ceremony only and I am so GLAD I did and so happy to go with Only May Photography for my Videography. They have captured my vibe, mood and vision exactly as I wanted! It was so easy working with them on the day and their guidance was so appreciated. The final cut of the highlight + full cinematic video is AMAZING! I am floored by the editing and music choices, they captured everything just as I wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an AMAZING team that are also very greatly priced! Thank you so much to Steven and the team for the great experience and a video I will watch forever."

"Steven & Le is super professional, really easygoing, and down-to-earth. What I didn’t realise until our wedding day was that you actually spend most of your time with your photographerβ€”and that can really make or break your experience.


Steven & Le helped set up parts of the day and shot everything in a way that let us get all the key moments without taking me away from spending time with our guests. They blended in with everyone so naturally, mingling with our guests while still coordinating everything seamlessly. Steven & Le was even helping fix my hair, adjusting my dressβ€”just there supporting me whenever I needed it, which I appreciated more than I can say.


You should definitely check out their website to see their workβ€” Steven & Le are very creative and talented. I’m sharing some of my favourite moments from the dayβ€” moments that Steven not only captured, but helped create."

"I don’t know where to begin! The team behind Only May are truly incredible from the first contact. I had a vision and they made it come to life! Always with a smile, nothing too hard and they are true perfectionists. The best vibe of a crew to have around us on our special day, hyping us up, getting our angles and made it feel like had been friends for life whilst holding a professional standard. My husband and I will forever be grateful for the team being a part of our day and capturing the special moments we can look back on for the rest of our life. Thank you xx"

"Steven and his team were an absolute dream to work with. From the first zoom call right through to the wedding day, I was so stressed on the day with the planning and the weather. But all those concerns went away - with Steven and his team being able to take control of the day and took on all my suggestions from my mood board for our photos. The photos turned out amazing and so beautiful! Steven was so helpful, kind, fun and prompt with our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing photographer and videographer team- thank you so much only may photography"

Audrey & Kenny

"We had the pleasure to work with an amazing hardworking photographer such as Steven. You can tell he is truly talented in his work. He did a wonderful job in capturing our special day and we feel so grateful that he was our wedding photographer. We were recommended to him by our friend who told us he was one of the best and Steven was exactly that. His style of work was precisely what we were looking for; elegant and timeless with an element of fun. Throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding he was very professional and easy to communicate with. He helped us a lot in many ways and always answered our questions no matter how big or silly it was, especially when it came to our wedding schedule. We are usually incredibly awkward in front of the camera but Steven made us feel relaxed and let us enjoy the day. He went above and beyond for us, and paid attention even to the smallest of detail. His photos left us with the biggest smiles. We cannot wait to display them forever! Anyone who has Steven as their photographer will be incredibly happy just like we are. Thank you once again, Steven! "

"We had the pleasure of having Only May Photography capture our wedding ceremony in Melbourne, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.


Although the photo editing and delivery took some time, it was absolutely worth the wait. We are so happy with the final results. The photos are beautiful, elegant, and captured our special day perfectly. Highly recommended"

"We honestly could not have asked for better content creators than Steven and Chang for our wedding day.

From the moment they arrived, they were calm, professional, and completely in sync with everything happening around them. They captured all the big moments beautifully β€” but what truly sets them apart is how they noticed and documented the small, emotional, behind-the-scenes moments that we would have otherwise missed.

They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy on such an emotional day!), and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive.

The energy was warm, supportive, and genuinely excited for us β€” it felt like having two extra friends there who just happened to be incredibly talented. They went above and beyond even helping to fix my veil, button up my dress and shoes!


The content we received was beyond anything we imagined. It allowed us to relive the day almost instantly, and the way they told our story felt authentic, natural, and so us.

If you are considering booking Only May Photographyβ€” do it. They are creative, organised, kind, and exceptionally talented at what they do. We are so grateful they were part of our day and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Thank you both for capturing our wedding so perfectly."
