About our photographer

Photographer Angela Ferro at Arcadia Nimbin, Northern Rivers NSW.

Before becoming creative director of Arcadia, Angie spent 15 years shooting portrait, fashion and travel imagery all over the world. You can see more of her work here and find her instagram here.

Her photographs have been featured in publications like Vogue, Marie Claire, Frankie and Nylon.

She’s lived and worked everywhere from a houseboat in Amsterdam, to a van in New Zealand, to a Buddhist monastery in the UK.

While she’s still a nomad at heart, it’s a dream come true for her to call Arcadia home and share her creative vision with others.

‘Angie made us look beautiful. The photos capture moments of joy perfectly. She gave us enough direction to actually look like our natural selves.’

-—Lyndal & Sam

‘We ended up with some absolutely incredible shots! Angie made us feel so comfortable that it was easy to laugh and "act natural" when having our photos taken. The Arcadia farm was such a dreamy backdrop too. What a special place to have these beautiful memories captured.’

-—Katie & Jack

  • Cabin sessions are $180 and go for about 30 minutes. They’re a great option for pregnant mamas and those who’d prefer to not venture too far. Sessions available as an optional add-on when you book your cabin stay. We’ll shoot during the late afternoon on the second day of your stay. You’ll receive 20 edited high resolution images via an online portal within two weeks of your session. You’ll also have the option to buy prints, canvases and more.

    Paddock sessions are $350, available as an optional add-on when you book your cabin stay. They’re a great opportunity to do some more exploring of the farm. Sessions go for around an hour, during the late afternoon on the second day of your stay. You’ll receive 40 edited high resolution images via an online portal within two weeks of your session. You’ll also have the option to buy prints, canvases and more.

  • Portrait sessions are the perfect opportunity to explore the vast paddock and winding creek below the cabin! We’re lucky to have an incredible diversity of backdrops here —no two sessions are ever the same.

  • Eek! We’ve never done anything like this before, what if we don’t know how to pose?! Most people feel this way beforehand—rest assured the best moments are always the candid ones! It’s all about exploring somewhere beautiful with the person you love. Angie’s approach is with minimal direction and prioritises natural expression.

    What do we wear?
    Most important is that you feel comfortable to move around and explore during our session. We do suggest lighter colours, which work beautifully against all the greenery here. Floaty dresses with some movement are always great on camera too! Please wear closed in shoes that you’re happy to get wet or muddy. It’s also a good idea to bring a waterproof jacket just in case.

    Can we do the session at a different time? Golden hour ensures we have the best lighting of the day and the time at which the farm is most magic! Sessions always take place on the second afternoon of your stay, to ensure you have enough time to prepare.

    What’s the wet weather alternative? The farm is at its moody best in a drizzle - we can crack on if you’re comfortable with getting a bit damp. If it’s truly pouring, you have the option of either a cosy cabin-based session or a full refund.

    Can we book a stay and decide on a session closer to the date?
    While we can’t guarantee availability, please email us and we’ll see what we can do!

    Are there easily accessible options for those with mobility issues?
    Absolutely, we’re more than happy to accomodate your needs. We have convenient options for those who’d rather stay on dry, flat(ish) ground.

    We’ve booked a cabin stay but changed our mind about the portrait session. Can we get a refund for the session and still stay?
    Yep, sessions are fully refundable up to two weeks before your booking, and you’ll receive a 50% refund closer to the date. Your cabin reservation will remain.

    We don’t want to stay but we’d like to book a portrait session.
    Right now we’re only offering sessions to guests. Please contact us if you’re a business and are interested in Ange shooting commercial content for you here, we love supporting other businesses!

    Get in touch if you have any further questions you’d like answered before you book, we’re happy to help!
