About
Overview & Vibe
Zinette Hopper leads a small photography and videography team working out of Canberra, covering weddings and elopements across the territory and the surrounding New South Wales countryside. Every collection pairs a photographer with a videographer, so the day comes back as both a gallery and a short film. Coverage runs from a two-hour elopement through to a ten-hour full day, and travel is included across a wide radius rather than charged by the kilometre.
Style & Approach
Fine art in approach, built on natural light and aiming at images that read as timeless, elegant and romantic rather than of a particular year. The published work leans on soft light, wide landscape frames and close, quiet moments between the couple, with the detail of the day (stationery, rings, flowers, the table before anyone sits down) photographed as carefully as the people. Every image is individually retouched.
Ideal For
Couples marrying at Canberra venues and homesteads, around the lake and the city’s landmark buildings, and out through the vineyards and country properties of the district. Because the free-travel radius reaches well into New South Wales, it also suits couples at Murrumbateman, Bungendore, Gundaroo and Yass. The two-hour collection is built for elopements.
The Need-to-Knows
The collections are Classic, Deluxe and Premium, described as all-inclusive with no hidden extras. Each carries continuous coverage, a highlight film, unlimited photographs on the day, a USB, a run of prints and a pre-wedding consultation; the longer collections add an engagement session. A preview set arrives the next day. Travel inside 300 kilometres of Canberra is free, and destination work is quoted.
Standout Feature
The next-day preview is the unusual one, most studios measure a sneak peek in weeks, and this one is promised the following day on every collection. Pairing a photographer with a videographer as standard, rather than as a paid add-on, is the other.
