Welcome to Our Story

Blur and Bloom began as a shared dream between Emmaline and Elijah, rooted in our passion for photography and storytelling. What started as capturing fleeting moments soon blossomed into a journey of crafting love stories and preserving memories.

Together, we continue to paint the world in hues of love, one frame at a time.

Hi, I’m Elijah! I’m passionate about my amazing wife Emmy, dad jokes, surfing, art, and theatre. When I’m not capturing moments with Blur and Bloom, I’m out on the waves or performing with the Bendigo Theatre Company. I also volunteer with the CFA, giving back to the community I love. And when I’m not busy with those, you’ll find me rocking out with my band, Something Violet. Life’s a vibrant mix of creativity, laughter, and community for me!

I started my photography journey in nightclubs and at private events, which I think was a great way to dive into the field. Now, I absolutely love capturing the magic of weddings, and it still excites me every single time. With a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in photography, I’m all set to turn those special moments into beautiful memories that you'll cherish forever.

Hi, I’m Emmaline, but feel free to call me Emmy! I’m passionate about horses, our adorable toy poodle Dolly, curling up with a good book, and belting out tunes at karaoke nights. When I’m not helping Elijah capture beautiful moments at weddings, I work as an Occupational Therapist, dedicated to supporting the Bendigo community.

Emmaline plays a crucial role at Blur & Bloom, particularly during weddings and larger shoots. Emmaline provides invaluable support by assisting with gear preparation, point-and-shoot photography, attending to details, and coordinating logistics on-site. Her presence ensures that every aspect of the day runs smoothly, allowing every important moment to be captured with stunning imagery. Emmaline's contributions not only enhance the efficiency of our operations but also contribute to the overall client experience, ensuring that each celebration is captured with care and professionalism.
