About

Overview & Vibe

Rach Martin has photographed weddings for over a decade, working from a base in Northern New South Wales with a second team in Queensland. Between them they cover the New England tablelands and the NSW north coast on one side of the border and the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast on the other. She takes a limited number of weddings each season so that every couple gets real attention, and she handles the planning and logistics herself so the photography side of the day runs without the couple managing it.

Style & Approach

The work is candid and documentary in feel, edited in a natural and timeless way rather than to a heavy look. She keeps posing light, steering the formal portraits enough to flatter while letting the rest of the day unfold on its own. Galleries run to a mix of colour and black and white, roughly nine parts colour to one, chosen wherever the frame is stronger for it. Coverage spans full wedding days, two-hour elopements, engagement sessions and family work.

Ideal For

Couples marrying on rural properties, farms and country halls around Inverell, Armidale and Glen Innes, and couples on the Sunshine Coast hinterland and its beaches. The elopement collection suits small celebrations of around fifteen guests. Because the team spans two states, it also suits couples whose wedding sits somewhere between the two regions.

The Need-to-Knows

Collections run from two-hour elopement coverage up to full-day packages, with extra hours, a second photographer, drone coverage and albums available on top. All rates include GST. Booking takes a signed contract and a twenty per cent deposit. Galleries arrive within four to twelve weeks depending on the season, with a preview gallery inside seven days. Travel is included across the New England region and across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast; a fee applies further out and anywhere else is quoted individually.

Standout Feature

Images arrive with no watermark and no print restrictions, in both full and low resolution, through a private gallery that also works as a phone app. The whole guest list can be given access and take their own copies from anywhere, and the gallery links straight to a print lab for albums and wall art.

Albums & Prints

  • Surprise Album — $1,300. A 10 by 10 inch square album of 15 spreads across 30 pages, with the design and cover chosen by the photographer so the finished album is a surprise.
  • Custom albums, prints and wall art — price quoted individually. Ordered through the online store after the wedding, or later through the gallery's print lab with no time limit on when an album can be ordered.
