About

Overview & Vibe

JTM Photography & Media is a Newcastle wedding studio that photographs and films weddings across the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Tamworth. It began in Tamworth and moved to the coast, and both ends of that road are still in the work: woolsheds on the Liverpool Plains, a country club on Shoal Bay, a vineyard estate in the Hunter. Jarret Schubert leads a small team, and the studio caps the number of weddings it takes each year.

Style & Approach

The studio describes its work as editorial meeting documentary: polished imagery that still reads as the day rather than a shoot. Couples are guided when guidance helps and left alone when it does not, and photography and film are planned from one timeline so the two never compete for the same moment.

Ideal For

Couples who want photography and film from one team rather than two, and who would rather be talked through the shape of the day than posed through it. The reach suits a wedding anywhere between the Newcastle coast and the north west plains.

The Need-to-Knows

Collections and prices are sent by email after an enquiry rather than published, and a wedding guide arrives with them. A $500 non-refundable deposit holds the date and the balance falls due a fortnight before the wedding. Sneak peek images are promised within 24 hours and the full gallery and film within four weeks.

Standout Feature

The planning that happens before the day. Couples get a discovery call, an initial consultation, a free engagement shoot, a set of questions about a month out and a final consultation, plus a timeline tool of the studio’s own making.
