About

Overview & Vibe

Heart and Colour is a Northern New South Wales wedding photography studio founded by Phil, who started it off the back of marrying his own wife Bek; she runs the business alongside him and Aaron shoots as the second photographer. Their own summary of the work is three words — honest, emotive, timeless — and their published weddings run from the Byron hinterland to Brisbane, Tasmania, Mudgee, Crescent Head, Queenstown and France.

Style & Approach

They describe the goal as capturing the day as it unfolds, documenting the joy and romance with loved ones, the details and all the in-between moments, to give a collection of images that tell the story honestly, elegantly and timelessly. Retouching is deliberately light: they say the straight answer is no, though blemishes are removed and skin smoothed where it helps.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in the Northern Rivers who want a large, unhurried record rather than a curated handful — the minimum delivered is 800 images and there is no cap on the number. It also suits couples marrying a long way from home: travel costs are built into the package price rather than added afterwards, and the same all-inclusive structure covers Australasia, America and Europe.

The Need-to-Knows

The Australasia package is $5,800 for full-day coverage with one photographer, a minimum of 800 images and all travel costs included. Photographs arrive in four to eight weeks, usually four. A second photographer is priced on request, a pre-wedding party or an extra portrait session is $950 for two hours, and all prices are quoted in Australian dollars with no hidden fees or taxes.

Standout Feature

Three quite different keepsakes rather than one: a 10 by 10 inch album at $1,700 with roughly 125 images across 45 spreads, leather or fabric bound with names embossed and presented in a natural leather bag; an 8.5 inch magazine-style book at $600 with about 150 images over 80 spreads on eggshell matte paper; or a keepsake box at $800 holding some 500 lustre prints, in cream, rustic brown or black.
