About

Overview & Vibe

Shari Mae photographs weddings up and down the Tweed Coast, from the southern Gold Coast to Byron Bay — chapel doors at Kingscliff, cypress avenues, paddocks with cattle in them and confetti after dark. She also trades as Mae In Bloom Weddings, and works alongside Merryn when couples book photography and film together.

Style & Approach

Candid, with the couple’s own story at the centre. She directs plainly through the portraits — her own answer to nervous couples is that she will tell you exactly what to do — and then steps back for the rest of the day.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere between the southern Gold Coast and Byron who want the whole thing priced up front, and couples planning something small: the two-hour elopement package is her entry point rather than an afterthought.

The Need-to-Knows

Four wedding and elopement packages are published outright, from $800 for elopements and smaller weddings up to $1,950 for eight hours. A sneak peek of ten to twenty images arrives within 24 hours and the full gallery within eight weeks, at roughly 40 to 50 images per hour of coverage. Extra time on the day is $120 an hour and a second photographer $60 an hour, both invoiced afterwards.

Standout Feature

Photography and film from one team, and a published second photographer rate — she recommends one for the ceremony and portraits so the moment is covered from more than one angle.
