Wedding Photographers · Wagga Wagga, New South Wales
Georgia lives and works in Wagga Wagga, and for a good part of the year she is a farmer’s wife as well as a photographer — tractor driving, cropping and harvest included. The rest of the year she shoots weddings, and has done for around nine years since finishing a photography degree in 2014. It shows in where her couples end up: olive groves, vineyards, a paddock with two horses, a main street at dusk, a tipi under festoon lights.
Her stated aim is to capture the day in the fun, candid and loving way it actually happens, so the couple end up with pictures worth returning to years later. She shoots a great many frames and then culls them herself, keeping everything good rather than capping a number — couples typically receive somewhere around five to seven hundred photographs.
Couples marrying anywhere across the Riverina who want someone who knows the country and the light in it, and couples who want to have met their photographer properly before the day. She meets every couple at least two months beforehand, in person where she can — she will drive to your house or your office, or meet at a cafe — and by video or phone call where she cannot.
Wedding packages start from $2,800 and include digital high-resolution files and an online blog post. A 20 per cent deposit locks the date in. The full gallery comes back in two to four weeks, with at least ten sneak-peek photographs sent the day after the wedding. Popular dates in March, October and November tend to go a year or more ahead. She will travel anywhere — her stated ambition is to shoot a wedding in New Zealand.
The sneak peek arrives the next day, not the next month. For a couple who have just spent a year planning and want to show someone something, ten photographs within twenty-four hours is a different experience from waiting a fortnight for the first look.
