Posh Photography

About

Overview & Vibe

Posh Photography is Ian Simon, a wedding photographer based at Palm Cove who has worked full time in Tropical North Queensland for more than twenty years. His pictures are built for the region — long beaches, leaning palms, cane fields and rainforest light — and they lean bright and tropical rather than muted.

Style & Approach

He describes a strong wedding gallery as a mix: documentary frames for the real emotion of the day, classic setups for the family photographs everyone actually wants, and a short burst of editorial and fine art work for the standout portraits. On the day he offers gentle direction rather than heavy posing, and he is candid that part of the job is managing pace and mood so nobody feels rushed.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at Palm Cove, Port Douglas or Cairns who want a photographer who already knows the light at each spot. He writes location guides to the places he shoots most, from the chapel at St Mary’s by the Sea to Coconut Walk, the Sugar Wharf and Four Mile Beach, and will talk through which suits a given time of day.

The Need-to-Knows

Four packages run from roughly two hours to roughly eight, all costed around a four o’clock ceremony, and every one includes a pre-wedding meeting in person or by video call plus an online gallery of high-resolution images to download and share. Two albums are offered, and both are discounted when ordered as part of a package rather than afterwards.

Standout Feature

Twenty years in one small stretch of coast shows in the location writing. He will tell you which chapel window is difficult to expose for, which park has the best sunset, and where a quiet creek sits five minutes from a resort lawn.

Albums & Prints

The Keepsake Album. Price: $595. Description: A 20cm by 20cm album of 24 images across 24 pages with a photo cover, or $495 when ordered as part of a package.

Price Notes

Both albums are cheaper when ordered as part of a package rather than afterwards - $495 instead of $595, and $1,395 instead of $1,495.
Package durations are quoted around a four o'clock ceremony.
He recommends booking an album with the package because, in his words, no one gets around to ordering one later.
