About

Overview & Vibe

Simmons Memorable Moments is Jamie and Mel Simmons, a husband-and-wife wedding photography and film team based in Townsville. Jamie spent twenty years as a chef before turning to photography, and Mel moved from helping on wedding days to filming them. They cover weddings across North Queensland, from Port Douglas down to the Whitsundays.

Style & Approach

They describe the work as documentary at heart, and say they are hands-off for most of the day because the photographs they want are the candid ones that happen while a couple is actually living the day. They step in for family groups and portraits, and stay out of the way the rest of the time. Their own three words for it are unscripted, unhurried and honest.

Ideal For

Couples who feel awkward in front of a camera and would rather not be posed, and couples marrying anywhere between Port Douglas, Townsville, Magnetic Island, the Whitsundays and Mackay who want photography and film from the same pair.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Booking runs in four steps: enquire, an obligation-free consultation, then a signed contract and paid retainer to hold the date.
  • They aim to answer an enquiry within 24 hours, and the consultation is a video call booked through their calendar.
  • The collection details are sent after an enquiry.
  • Interest-free payment plans are available through Payright.
  • Where a wedding cannot be rescheduled they offer a partial refund up to the amount of the retainer.

Standout Feature

Photography and videography come from the same two people, so one team covers both without a second supplier to coordinate.
