About

Overview & Vibe

Mike Jeffrey photographs weddings across Sydney and the Blue Mountains, living at Penrith at the foot of the mountains and building the whole business around them — his own line is that he is a Blue Mountains local who has spent years finding the spots that are not on Google Maps. He married his wife Emily in 2022 and plans weddings alongside his couples partly because he planned his own, and the two of them record a weekly wedding-planning podcast together.

Style & Approach

Laid back, with the staged poses left out: his reasoning is that the best photographs anyone already has were taken by a partner or a close friend, so the way to get good ones is to be comfortable with each other first. Editing is bright and vibrant with colours kept true to life, and he edits every frame himself, using Photoshop where a car, a stranger or a stain needs to come out of the picture.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in the mountains who want a photographer who knows the clifftops, and anyone nervous in front of a camera — he devotes a good deal of the site to reassuring exactly those people. He also shoots proposals, engagement sessions and couples portraits, welcomes same-sex weddings explicitly, and helps build the day’s timeline for couples without a planner.

The Need-to-Knows

Packages start at $3,490 and begin at a minimum of eight hours, on the view that less than that cannot tell the whole story of a day. Expect 400 to 800 photographs, delivered at full resolution with no watermarks through a password-protected gallery, with sneak peeks inside 48 hours and the full set guaranteed within 30 days. A 30 per cent non-refundable deposit holds the date and payment plans are offered, with the balance due at latest two weeks before. He meets every couple before the day, in person or by video call.

Standout Feature

He shoots about 95 per cent of weddings alone with two Nikon Z6 bodies and carries a third camera to every one, and he guarantees the full gallery in thirty days. For a couple choosing between photographers, a named guarantee is a rarer thing than a portfolio.

Albums & Prints

  • Albums And Prints — price on enquiry. Available to order after the wedding, with the vendor stating plainly that there is no obligation to buy either; images are delivered at full resolution so couples may also print them anywhere they choose.
