Today marks a major milestone for me. 22 years ago today, I officially took over the reins of the studio from my father-in-law, Rod Hardinge, and became a business owner.
This studio has been a part of the Albury-Wodonga community since 1978. I started working in the studio as office manager in 1996 and took over as the owner in 2004. I am so incredibly thankful for the path that led me here - and the journey that has evolved into the wedding, family portrait, and commercial studio it is today. It’s been a wild, beautiful ride.
To every couple who had invited me to capture their wedding day, every family who let me into your world, and every business owner who has trusted me with your brand: Thank you!
22 years in business. 30 years behind the camera. Over 700 weddings, countless family portraits, and thousands of stories told. Yet, I’m still just as crazy obsessed with forehead kisses, beautiful light, and authentic stories as I was on day one.
Thank you, Albury-Wodonga, for letting me document your lives for over two decades. I’m just getting started.
Cheers to the next chapter of Hardinge Photography!
