About

Overview & Vibe

John Benavente is a Sydney wedding photographer who documents the day as it unfolds rather than staging it. He works quietly through the hours he is with you, and his weddings reach well beyond the city into the Southern Highlands, the Illawarra and the South Coast.

Style & Approach

Candid and documentary, shot in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. He works in both digital and film, and the pictures are built around the story of the day rather than a set list of poses.

Ideal For

Couples who want the day recorded honestly and in depth, and who value a photographer comfortable working a long day without directing it. Dedicated Jewish wedding collections are offered alongside the standard ones.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Wedding collections run from $4,550 to $7,950.
  • Coverage is sold in six, eight and ten consecutive hours.
  • Five hundred or more edited images on the six-hour collection, seven hundred or more on the eight.
  • Sneak peeks one to four days later, and the full gallery in four to six weeks.
  • A second photographer is recommended once guest numbers pass 150.
  • A travel expense applies outside the Illawarra and Southern Highlands.

Standout Feature

Every collection opens with a pre-wedding consultation and closes with a gallery held for twelve months, with an online print store attached.
