About

Overview & Vibe

Lou O’Brien is a Sunshine Coast wedding photographer who learned the craft as a cadet press photographer — hand-rolling black and white film, working in a darkroom and shooting fully manual. She says those years taught her to think quickly, connect with people and never miss the moments that matter.

Style & Approach

Her stated aim is that a wedding should be remembered for how it felt rather than how long anyone spent posing. She works to keep couples relaxed enough to enjoy the day while she captures it naturally, and her own backyard wedding — in a red dress — is why she says there are no rules.

Ideal For

Couples who want the album to exist as an object rather than a phone gallery. Every wedding collection above the elopement tier includes a handcrafted heirloom album as standard, and there are seven named collections so the coverage can be matched to the day rather than the other way round.

The Need-to-Knows

The elopement collection is $1,497 for an hour of coverage on a Monday to Thursday, digital images only. Wedding collections start at $2,497 for three hours with digital images and an album, and run up to $4,997. Extra coverage and an album can be added to the elopement tier.

Standout Feature

A press background is unusual in wedding photography, and she names it as the reason she reads a room fast. The album being included rather than upsold is the other thing that sets the collections apart.

Albums & Prints

Handcrafted Heirloom Wedding Album. Price: Included in every wedding collection. Description: A handmade album supplied as standard with each wedding collection rather than sold as an extra.
Professional Prints. Description: Prints ordered through the vendor's own print store.
