The Lavender Haze

Vibrantly intimate weddings by an all-queer team based in Naarm, for lovers who are unapologetically themselves.

I’m Jacinta Oaten, a queer photographer and filmmaker. I’ve been capturing lovers ever since I realised just how rewarding taking care of others’ cherished memories is.

To get down to it, my first ever wedding was back in 2010! There’s nothing like seeing the joy that radiates from people and how stoked they are when they receive their images. So I wanted to create an incredible wedding photography and film business that’s totally inclusive and a visibly safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

I know how daunting it can be seeking a service and not knowing whether or not you’ll be catered for. This is why I’m out here leading an all-queer team to provide an incredible photo and video coverage for all couples – and yes, myself and the team travel anywhere and everywhere for our community!

Based in
Melbourne, Australia
Works with clients
in Melbourne, and London
Elopement and wedding packages from

After marriage equality passed, I was saddened by still hearing couples’ negative experiences before finding me to capture their wedding. I really wanted to create an incredible wedding service that’s totally inclusive and a visibly safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community, which is why I’m out here leading The Lavender Haze, an all-queer team providing incredible photo and video coverage for all couples!

Two brides in white lace wedding gowns embrace under a canopy of autumnal trees. Their smiles suggest a moment of joy and intimacy. One gown features a long, flowing train, while the other fits more snugly. Fallen leaves speckle the path and a soft, overcast sky sets a serene atmosphere.
