THE LAVENDER HAZE
as seen in:
Rightio, so you've been to your mates' weddings and seen the intrusive snappers who make the day about them.
You want someone who values the balance of knowing when to step in and times to hang more on the sideline.
The era of desaturated tones is here, but you want your flicks to have real colour and gorgeous energy to boot, hey?
Yah, we know. This all-queer team led by award-winning photographer Jacinta Oaten has got you covered.

The PORTFOLIO
I'm Jacinta Oaten, the Director of Photography and head shooter of The Lavender Haze. I started my photography journey in the world of sport, where I was immersed in the excitement and fast-paced action of professional tennis. I cut my teeth on 40 degree days court-side at The Aus Open, and shot my first wedding back in 2010 when a player was getting hitched and wanted a familiar face to capture it. I loved it so much, that I completely made the switch to capturing loved-up honeys all year round. There's simply nothing like being the trusted documenter of another person's greatest milestones in life!
NAMED IN JUNEBUG WEDDINGs' BEST OF THE BEST,
4X INTERNATIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR FINALIST,

Hi there! I'm Jacinta Oaten,
Director of Photography.
WHO IS THE LAVENDER MENACE?
BEC & JACK
The videos which they produce have such an authentic, organic feel which seems to capture not just the feeling of the day but also who you are as a couple."
"One of the overwhelming things which stands out, is just how glad you’ll be to have had the team as part of your wedding day...
JACQUI & RILEY
"Jacinta was incredible before, during and after our wedding! The super 8 film was honestly the best addition to our package. My husband and I are so beyond happy with all of our images and the video.
Jacinta was also so freaking funny and so easy going on the day which was perfect for any
nerves I had through the day.
I honestly couldn't recommend
Lavender Haze Weddings
and Jacinta enough."
"The photos and the Super 8 film were STUNNING!"
— Kristina & Shipton
They got the best, most magical moments on camera - both digital and film - and were so fun to work with. The sneak peeks were ready so fast and we were made to feel so comfortable on our special day."
"I’m in awe of the photos The Lavender Haze captured of my elopement.
