Images shaped by light, place & real emotion

NSW Lifestyle & Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Lipei

Lifestyle & wedding photographer based in beautiful Illawarra, NSW, working across love stories, live music, events and editorial projects.

If you’re looking for images that feel effortless, joyful, emotionally real and authentic to you, you’ve come to the right space.

I take a documentary-led approach, focusing on real moments as they unfold rather than forcing perfection. My goal is to tell your story honestly, so when you look back, you don’t just see what happened — you feel it.

Inspired by my love for travel, culture, music, celebration and most importantly - human connection; I’m drawn to the energy between people: the stillness, the chaos, the affection and everything in between. That’s where the real story lives, and that’s what I love to capture - I’d love to bring you along on that journey.

Lovely words from the beautiful humans I’ve worked with.

Had such a good experience with Lipei! She made me and Harley feel so comfortable and it honestly didn’t even feel like we were taking photos, it just felt like we were enjoying the moment together. The photos came out so beautiful and natural, and she captured all the little moments perfectly. She’s also super easy to work with and made everything feel relaxed and fun.

Oh where to start Li Pei has an incredible eye! We loved how we felt with her before, during and after our wedding ceremony. We felt so comfortable and able to share our smiles and tears. Lipei was sure to capture our best woman/dog's good side! Our reception shots are so warm and natural. We will cherish these for life.

She has an incredible talent for capturing moments that are both beautiful and genuine. Her eye for detail made our photos truly special. Plus, she made even the most camera-shy among us feel comfortable and look amazing.

Desi & Ky
She made everyone feel comfortable during the photoshoot and our wedding photos turned out so beautiful. I was so glad that I decided to hire her as my photographer for our intimate wedding ceremony. I even used one of the photos on the website for our reception.

Karin & Ben
Lipei was incredible and the photos are utterly gorgeous - we couldn't be any more thrilled! Li also made it so relaxed and fun and captured so many joyful moments that perfectly reflect how amazing the day felt. We were also delighted by how quickly we received the photos afterwards, and loved being able to relive the day so soon. Looking through them brings the whole day back to life! We would recommend Lipei to anyone looking for a truly wonderful photographer!
