I’m Dearne, but I go by Dea.

A lot of people can’t pronounce Dearne too well…so I end up with variations..such as ‘Dern’ , ‘Dean’ and ‘Dearknee’…yep, I can’t work out how either! Seeing we are friends, you can call me Dea (pronounced D!).

I rekindled my passion for photography after my nanna passed away in 2003. After she died I sat and looked through her old photo albums and realised what I always wanted to be as a kid was a really important part in preserving people’s memories. My company is named after the black bow’s that were on my wedding dress and wedding cake.

I am a mum to 2 free spirited mini men– I never knew my heart could be overflowing with love till I had these two (I also never knew that grey hair grows so quickly when you have kids!). I am a wife to a hunk-o-spunk husband, who is the one who encouraged me to chase my dreams. My dad is an artist, my mum owned a fancy dress shop for 15 years (that was started by my grandparents) and my brother owns Butler’s Customs and Cafe Racers.

I don’t take myself too seriously, am obsessed with my staffy, mexican food and am always up for a cringy meme!

    “If I could give 85 stars out of 5 I would. Everything about Dea, from the rad human she is, to the vibe she brings and the photographs she takes, is next level not cool enough for you (or me).”

  • Danika & Reggie

    “We both hate having our photos taken but Dea made it so much fun! Our cheeks are still sore from laughing. And oh my goodness the resulting photos are amazing and so so beautiful. She definitely captured the vibe of the day!”

  • Kylie & Brent

    “Our guests all commented how fabulous Dea was and she fitted in like an old friend. If you want a fun filled, memorable wedding day, Dea is the one you want capturing it. Cannot recommend her enough!”

  • Kristy-Lee & Joey

    “We will never be able to thank her enough for all her support throughout the crazy wedding planning, fitting in seamlessly on the day and then providing us with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

  • Kelly & Nick

    “Could not recommend Dea enough. She is friendly, hilarious and absolutely amazing. We are so happy we chose Dea to be our wedding photographer, we are over the moon with every single photo she took.”

  • Estelle & Seb

    “I don’t know where to begin with the angel that is Dea! She sets a high vibration and is so much fun to have around, she basically feels like a close friend which is perfect when she is with you in such intimate moments.”
