Chands Photography

About

Overview & Vibe

Chands Photography is a Canberra wedding photographer working from a studio in Gungahlin, with more than thirty years behind the camera. Two wedding packages are published openly, both including a free pre-wedding consultation, unlimited photos and travel across a wide radius at no extra charge.

Style & Approach

The style is described as a mix of traditional, modern and candid — a reportage approach combined with natural, stylish portraits. Both packages include guided posed photographs as well as candid coverage, so couples who want direction on the day are catered for alongside those who would rather not be.

Ideal For

Couples who want a clear, itemised price rather than a quote, and who value being told up front exactly what is included. The wide free-travel radius suits weddings outside Canberra, and the option of video and drone coverage from the same photographer suits couples who would rather not book a separate crew.

The Need-to-Knows

The Silver package is $1,770 for six hours; the Golden package is $5,500 for eight hours and adds a custom-designed lay-flat album, four prints and full-day cinematography with drone footage. Both include unlimited photos, individually processed and delivered through a shareable online album, with a USB drive available for a small extra charge. No turnaround time is published.

Standout Feature

Free travel within 300 kilometres on the Golden package — which from Canberra reaches the South Coast, the Snowy Mountains and beyond — and a studio that also offers sessions in the lakeside parkland directly across the road.

Albums & Prints

A4 Lay-Flat Photo Album — Included with the Golden package. Custom designed with a lay-flat binding.
12 By 8 Inch Prints — Four included with the Golden package.
