Thierry Boudan Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
Thierry Boudan works from a studio at Kotara in Newcastle and has been photographing weddings for more than twenty years, with over 1,500 weddings behind him. Most of that work is in the Hunter Valley, and the site carries a substantial guide to the region’s venues alongside the galleries.
Style & Approach
Relaxed and romantic, with what he calls first gentle direction only — enough to get people comfortable, then he steps back. The coverage is deliberately untimed: his stated aim is telling the full story rather than watching the clock, so packages are built around the shape of the day instead of an hours bracket.
Ideal For
Couples marrying in the Hunter Valley vineyards or around Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens who want someone who already knows the venues — he offers to check location permits and suggest alternatives. Engagement sessions are available beforehand for anyone uneasy in front of a camera.
The Need-to-Knows
Expect roughly 500 to 1,200 fully edited images in a private high-resolution gallery, all edited in-house by him. Delivery can take up to twelve weeks though he aims for about four. He is candid that he does not offer sneak peeks or lifetime backup. Booking is a signed agreement plus a 50% booking fee for photography, or $500 for videography, with dates held 48 hours; no total price is published.
Standout Feature
The untimed coverage. In a category where almost everyone sells six, eight or ten hours, he refuses to put a clock on the day — and pairs it with two decades of Hunter Valley venue knowledge, which is the sort of thing that stops a timeline going wrong before it does.
