About

Overview & Vibe

Mario Colli has photographed weddings on the Gold Coast for more than twenty years and puts the number at over 630. He works alone, takes a limited number of weddings a year, and turns away every other enquiry once your date is held. The whole site is built around venues he knows well; ten of them have their own guide.

Style & Approach

Romantic, timeless and editorial, in his own words, with a natural and relaxed feel. Refined and intentional rather than posed; he says plainly that he will not stand you in unnatural positions for forty-five minutes. Full-day collections include analogue 35mm film alongside the digital coverage.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at an established Gold Coast, Tweed or hinterland venue who want a photographer who has worked it many times before. Also good for elopements: for an hour and a half he covers small ceremonies most full-service photographers will not quote.

The Need-to-Knows

Elopements; full weddings at six, eight or ten hours; photography with video. Every collection includes a fine-art album, planning support, full print rights with no watermarks, and travel within two hours of the Gold Coast. Galleries arrive in four to six weeks, a little longer in peak season.

Standout Feature

The album is in the price. Albums are usually sold separately; here a bespoke fine-art album comes with every collection, and he designs it with you after the gallery lands. Combined with travel being included, the quoted figure is closer to the final figure than most.
