About

Overview & Vibe

Megan Rutherford photographs weddings across the Central West of New South Wales from a base at Blayney, between Bathurst and Orange. She is a sheep and cattle farmer as well as a photographer, and it shows in the work: farm and property weddings are a stated speciality, and she is comfortable with horses, cattle and dogs on a shoot. Three wedding packages are published with prices, hours and image counts.

Style & Approach

Natural, candid and relaxed, shot in available light and usually outdoors. She works to get to know a couple before the day so they are comfortable on it, and favours prompts over stiff posing. Golden hour is a stated preference for portraits.

Ideal For

Couples marrying around Bathurst, Blayney, Orange, Cowra and Oberon, and especially those marrying on their own rural property. Also suits couples further out in regional New South Wales who are happy to discuss travel.

The Need-to-Knows

Silver is $2,299 for up to four hours and 250+ images, Gold $3,349 for up to seven hours and 400+ images, and Platinum $3,899 for up to ten hours and 600+ images. Every package includes a private online gallery, a pre-wedding consultation and a physical keepsake. A twenty per cent deposit confirms the booking, and travel within an hour of Bathurst is included.

Standout Feature

Each package ships something physical: a personalised USB in a linen keepsake box, ten professional prints, or a professionally framed and matted print, valued between $200 and $550 depending on the collection.
