About

Overview & Vibe

An Adelaide photographer of ten years’ standing, shooting weddings, elopements and registry office ceremonies on digital and 35mm film side by side. The work leans quiet and observational rather than staged, and the studio is unusually at home with small celebrations — a registry office ceremony with two witnesses is treated as seriously as a full day.

Style & Approach

Documentary, with the stated aim of recording the human experience of the day rather than arranging it. The promise is a gallery full of candid and sentimental moments, the details that hold a day together, and the reactions of the people in the room. Every package includes rolls of 35mm film developed and edited alongside the digital work, which gives the finished collection a mixed, slightly nostalgic texture.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at the Adelaide Registry Office or eloping in the city, who want proper coverage of a short ceremony rather than a scaled-down version of a full-day package. Equally suited to a six-hour intimate reception of around seventy guests. Couples who already have a photographer and videographer booked can add film-only coverage.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Three wedding packages at six, eight and ten hours, and three registry office or elopement options at two, three and four hours.
  • No prices are published — every package is quoted on enquiry, so send your date, location and the hours you think you need.
  • Rolls of 35mm film, developing and editing are included in every package, rising from one roll on the shortest elopement to five on the full day.
  • A highlights gallery of up to one hundred edited images arrives within seven days of the wedding.
  • An elopement gallery is delivered three to four weeks afterwards.
  • Unlimited contact beforehand and a pre-wedding catch-up are part of every package.
  • Enquiries are answered within two business days.
  • Family sessions are offered as a separate line.

Standout Feature

Film is included, not upsold. Most photographers who shoot 35mm treat it as a paid extra or a personal indulgence; here every package from the two-hour registry option upwards carries a stated number of rolls with developing, high-resolution scanning and editing built in. It means the mixed digital-and-film look is what you get by default rather than something to negotiate.
