About

Overview & Vibe

Acacia & Grace is Steph, a Canberra wedding photographer working across the ACT and the surrounding NSW wine country. A recent bride herself, she leans on that to keep the day calm: timeline help before it, quiet guidance during it, and a gallery of candid, joy-filled pictures after it.

Style & Approach

Candid and natural with a light editorial polish. She looks for happy tears, big hugs and the dance floor rather than long posed sessions, and her couples describe her as quiet, relaxed and unusually organised.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in Canberra or the vineyards around Murrumbateman, Gundaroo and Lake George who want an unhurried, guided experience — and couples eloping who would rather have two hours done beautifully than a full day.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding collections begin at $4,200 and there are four of them; elopement coverage is $1,200. Travel within 100km of Canberra is included, and further afield usually adds $250 to $500. Full galleries arrive within eight weeks, with more than 75 sneak peeks in the first 24 to 72 hours. Peak spring and autumn dates often go 12 months out, and a date is held only on a signed contract and booking fee.

Standout Feature

The handcrafted fine art albums are a proper second product rather than an afterthought: a 10 by 10 inch album at $1,350, matching 6 by 6 inch parent albums at $650, three cover materials, two rounds of revisions included, and $400 off if you add it before the wedding.

Albums & Prints

Handcrafted Wedding Album, 10 by 10 Inch. Price: $1,350. Description: Includes 20 pages (10 spreads), a choice of cover fabric and cover art design, and personalised debossing and foil print. Two rounds of design revisions are included.
