Margan Photography
A wife and wife duo celebrating queer love stories and families.
Hey there! We’re Erin and Erica Margan, the couple behind Margan Photography.
For more than a decade we’ve been documenting queer love stories across NSW, the ACT and beyond. Big joyful weddings, intimate elopements and the beautiful chaos of family life.
This work is deeply personal to us. As a queer couple ourselves, we get to spend our days documenting the community we love and the way queer love deserves to be seen – honestly, beautifully and without any weird assumptions.
Our work is bright, energetic and people-focused. We’re drawn to expression, movement, atmosphere and all the in-between moments that unfold when people forget that a camera is there.
Our role is simple. Create an environment where you feel relaxed, supported and free – then capture everything that unfolds so you can hold onto it forever. We truly believe the best photographs always happen when people feel at home.
If we’re lucky, we’ll see you again down the track… when weddings turn into puppies, kittens, babies, expanding families and the quiet, rebellious joy of growing older together. Your story in constant bloom.
We can’t wait to hear what you’ve got planned!

We’re two gay girls who fell in love, got married, and now centre our work around the community that raised us.
Margan Photography is a proudly queer space and we’ve built it to feel like home – a place where people can show up exactly as they are.
We welcome every gender, identity, faith, ethnicity, body and story. Everyone deserves to feel safe, seen and celebrated, and that belief is at the heart of everything we do.

What’s a piece of advice you find yourself giving to all your couples?
I think the most common thing we’ll hear from couples is “Argh, we’re super awkward in photos… what do we do?!”
Honestly, this is everyone. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do, that’s our job. We’ve got you. We’re there all day to guide you with movement, little prompts and just enough direction so it never feels stiff, forced, or like you’re being put into weird roles that don’t feel like you.
The first few minutes can feel a bit weird because you’re doing something new, but then it shifts. You start chatting, laughing, focusing on each other and suddenly it feels easy.
And truly, the feedback we get all the time is that couples were surprised by how comfortable they felt and that the photos ended up being one of their favourite parts of the day.
The best photos are never about perfect posing, they’re always the connection. We’ll make sure they feel like you. Relaxed, natural and a whole lot of fun.
How do you ensure that a wedding runs smoothly?
We do a lot of planning ahead of the day and build in plenty of buffer time so no one’s feeling rushed between moments. Our biggest priority is making sure our couples feel relaxed and actually get to enjoy their day, with each other and with all their favourite people in one place.
That prep and breathing room means if things shift on the day (because they always do), it’s super easy for us to pivot. We’re really flexible, we think on our feet, and honestly our superpower is problem solving while keeping the vibe fun and relaxed. Nothing is ever really a problem when you’re willing to laugh your way through it.
Do you have a wedding moment that you’ll never forget?
We were originally married back in 2009 and spent over a decade fighting for marriage equality. Every weekend at the weddings we photographed, we’d hear the words “marriage is the union of a man and a woman.”
Nine years later, after marriage equality had passed, we got married again and finally made it legal. We’d heard the change in wording before – we knew it was coming, but we had no idea how much it would hit to hear those words said for us.
“Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.”
Standing there, hearing that, knowing it finally included us… it really was everything.
It’s a moment we’ll never forget. And even now, every time we hear those words at a wedding, it still makes us smile. We’re truly grateful every day to live in a place where everyone can marry whoever they love. It’s something we never take for granted.
