Melbourne Photographers for Capturing Real Moments and Honest Images

I don't just take photos — I translate energy into imagery. Each frame is a feeling, told with intention.

Thiru Naidoo

Founder

We are a Melbourne based photography service offering high quality images that reflect genuine emotion, natural connection, and clean composition. Whether you’re planning a wedding, launching a product, or gathering your family, we capture it, lightly retouch it, and help you remember it the way it was.

We photograph people and places across Melbourne and regional Victoria. From real estate and corporate events to maternity, headshots, and weddings, we focus on timeless photography that feels personal and grounded. No filters. No clichés. Just the people you care about, the story you are living, and the space you’re in.

Thiru was the photographer for my 50th and I am thrilled with the photos. A great mix of candid and posed, which is exactly what I asked for. He was very professional and a lovely person to deal with before, during and after the event.

I had the pleasure of working with Thiru Naidoo from Bayside 9 at our annual awards celebration held at Hotel Chadstone in Melbourne. We were seeking a corporate events photographer, and Thiru exceeded our expectations. His friendly and professional approach made everyone feel at ease, resulting in stunning photographs that truly captured the essence of the event. I highly recommend Thiru's services for any corporate function.

We used this media company for my daughter’s 30th this year.
And we had Thiru Naidoo take the photos on the night. He was very professional and listened to what I really wanted. He captured so many wonderful moments and blended in the crowd he made the guests feel so comfortable they had no problem having photos taken! I would definitely use and recommend Thiru Naidoo again.

Had Bayside9 Weddings photograph one of the trunk show events we had at the Rajashree Bridal Studio flagship store in South Yarra. The event was photographed very beautifully and professionally, and Thiru was a delight to work with.
