Wedding Photographers · Canberra, Australian Capital Territory · By appointment
Corinna and Dylan are a husband-and-wife team based in Canberra, and they have photographed a striking share of the city’s best-known wedding places — Pialligo Estate, the National Gallery’s Gandel Hall, Yarralumla Woolshed, Mount Stromlo Observatory, the National Arboretum. Their work has been recognised well beyond the ACT: Rangefinder named them among its Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2019, and their images have run in Hello May, Junebug Weddings and Together Journal.
They describe it themselves as artistic documentary, somewhere between fine art and photojournalism, and the galleries bear that out: long unbroken runs of a day as it happened, dark and quiet where the light was dark and quiet. They steer away from heavily posed frames, though they will place a couple in an interesting light or space when the day allows it. Images are never watermarked.
Couples who want the whole day treated as one story rather than a shot list, and who are relaxed about being left alone for stretches of it. Their published work runs from a formal estate wedding with a florist’s arch to an all-black Friday-the-13th celebration at a Canberra hotel, so an unconventional day is on familiar ground here. They travel constantly, and weddings anywhere in Australia are covered at the same collection prices.
Two collections: $7,500 for up to eight hours with at least 600 edited images, and $8,900 for the same plus a 10x10 fine art album and three prints. Albums are also sold separately at $1,800, with an 8x8 parent replica at $890. Booking takes a completed form and a deposit, and the gallery stays online for twelve months. These figures carry a January 2022 date on the vendor’s own pages, so confirm them on enquiry.
Travel is not a surcharge line here — the collection price covers weddings anywhere in Australia, and extra costs start only when a wedding leaves the country. For a couple marrying in the Southern Highlands, on the South Coast or in the Riverina, that turns a Canberra photographer into a local one.
