About Me

Hey! I'm Jacynta

Chances are, you’ll catch me wiping away happy tears behind the camera more than once. I’m all heart, always watching for the little in-between moments — the ones that sneak up on you and turn into your favourite memories.

I live in the northern end of the Hunter Valley with my two beautiful girls, two dogs, and the most supportive partner a girl could ask for. Life’s loud, full, a little messy… and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll probably find me out in the bush — hiking, waterfall chasing, or planning our next little road trip. I’ve always loved the feeling of discovering somewhere new. It’s probably why I love this job so much. Every wedding, every couple, every story — it’s all a new kind of adventure.

I started Salty Oak with one goal: to help people hold onto the moments that matter. The real ones. The quiet, stolen glances and wild dance floor chaos. The things you don’t want to forget.

And when we work together, you’re not just booking a photo & video team. You’re getting a cheerleader, timeline nerd, dog-lover, and someone who’ll always remind you to stop, breathe, and soak it all in — because this day only happens once, and you deserve to feel it.

Meet the team

We’re the kind of crew who’ll hype you up, fix your veil, carry your bouquet, and make sure your champagne’s never too far away.

Salty Oak isn’t just one person behind the camera — it’s a little team of legends who care just as much about your day as you do. We’re calm under pressure, always looking for the good light, and we’ve got each other’s backs (and yours too).

Whether it’s video, content creation, second shooters or set-up support, everyone here is handpicked not just for their talent — but for their heart. We’re here to capture the real stuff, the good stuff, and make sure you feel looked after every step of the way.

No egos. No stress. Just a bunch of friendly humans who love love, and genuinely want you to have the best freaking day ever.
