sydney family and wedding photographer
Meet Trish
Based in Sydney, Australia, Trish is a wedding and family photographer with more than 18 years' experience. A documenter of love and connection through tender narratives for all of life's seasons, because there's beauty in them all.
Tealily Photography is one of Sydney's leading documentary wedding and family lifestyle photography services, led by Trish Chong.
As a wedding and family photographer, Trish observes her subjects with sensitivity and intuition. She captures the ever-evolving nature of human feeling in a way that is timeless, paying attention to detail, and capturing the essence of how it all feels.
Tender expressions of life’s seasons, Trish’s photographs are the ones you’ll come back to time and time again. Studies in impermanence, the wilderness of motherhood, family bonds, romantic love, kinship and home, they offer the chance to relive heart-held memories and reveal a deep appreciation of the present moment.
Photography is the greatest gift.
"Photography has been the greatest gift. As an art it has connected me with countless couples and families and given me the chance to witness their journeys, capturing tender moments to hold forever.
My approach to wedding and family photography is relaxed and organic, striving to document both the details and the tender in-betweens as the session unfolds. Trust has played a huge part in allowing these moments to present themselves, giving permission for creativity, and the beauty of imperfection in order to capture images that are honest and real.
Above all, my work is driven by emotion and storytelling, by a desire to create reminders of life's deepest beauty, tracing the connections between people and those they love the most. My hope is that when these images are discovered in the decades to come, they will be reminders of loving and being loved, of family, and that irreplaceable feeling of belonging." - Trish

Offering relaxed family photography and documentary wedding photography in locations across Sydney and beyond.
While based in Sydney's northern suburbs, my work often takes me all across Greater Sydney and beyond. I often photograph weddings in the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley, while my family photography work brings me from the Northern Beaches to the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West and at times across the seas. Whether it’s an in-home session that feels like your family’s heartbeat or an outdoor adventure in a place you love, I’ll meet you where your story is unfolding. I also offer holiday and travel photography sessions for families and couples visiting from overseas - just ask, and we can make it happen.

Trish deftly captured moments of us as a family of three that are so tender and true, and timeless - it still makes us laugh to see how deliciously round Noah was at seven months. She has an eye for family portraits that is just magic and it was such a pleasure to share the experience with her.

As much as I was so tired from the first trimester and packing all our stuff I knew there would never be perfect timing to have my baby bump and family be captured. I am so thankful that I did no matter how I felt. These memories of stopping time will never be taken from us. Thank you Trish for being my honest and talented friend.

This time in my life is so special but somehow I never seem to take any photos - the results from our mother/baby shoot are such beautiful memories to look back on. The relaxed, comfortable atmosphere made the morning so much fun and the photos you produced are so natural. They will be cherished for years to come.
