Little Wedding Planner

About

Overview & Vibe

Madelyn Holmes photographs weddings across Rockhampton, Yeppoon and the Capricorn Coast, with more than fifteen years behind the camera. She describes herself as less a supplier than an extra member of the party — planning consultant, time keeper, unofficial bridesmaid and family usher as much as photographer — and she is a qualified graphic designer as well, which is why so many of her weddings carry stationery and signage she made herself.

Style & Approach

Her aim is to tell a couple’s story through the little details, the fleeting moments and the people they love, and she puts quality over quantity plainly. The work runs warm and unforced: prep in bright rooms, ceremonies under gum trees and hexagon arches, and portraits out in paddocks, orchards and along the Capricorn Coast.

Ideal For

Couples marrying around Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Emu Park and the rural country of Central Queensland, and those planning something further afield — she has photographed weddings at Heron Island, Longreach, Agnes Water, Toowoomba and Fiji. Engagement sessions are encouraged, and she makes the case that the couples most nervous about one tend to benefit most.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding packages start at $2,950, covering ceremony through to the reception entrance, and most couples extend to a full day from preparations to the first dance. Every package includes high-resolution images on a USB and an online gallery to share. A sneak peek is posted within 48 hours and a private preview gallery follows, with the full delivery taking around twelve weeks. She suggests booking twelve or more months ahead, since autumn to spring is peak season in Central Queensland.

Standout Feature

Because she designs stationery as well, invitations, welcome signs and menus can be made to match the day she is photographing. Once booked, couples get a welcome pack of planning tips, templates and recommended vendors, and a catch-up over coffee or a video call to plan the running of the day.
