About

Overview & Vibe

Solemate Studios is an Adelaide wedding photography and videography team, established in 2020. Laila photographs and edits, Sam shoots and cuts the films, and Shane runs the bookings and schedules behind the scenes. Laila came to photography after a volleyball career ended in injuries; Sam spent thirteen years in the Navy before picking up a camera. They describe connection as the heart of what they do.

Style & Approach

Laila describes her own approach as a loose editorial style, aimed at the mix couples want: timeless yet modern portraits without missing the candid, documentary moments in between. The studio sums itself up as a blend of editorial and documentary, for lovers of romance, fashion and feeling.

Ideal For

Couples who want photography and film from one team, and who like the idea of being hyped up rather than posed: Laila calls herself the biggest hype-girl you will meet. Sam brings a Super 8 line alongside digital film, which is unusual and worth asking about. Couples nervous in front of a camera are a stated speciality.

The Need-to-Knows

They take a deliberately limited number of weddings each season so that every couple gets their full attention, and they are open about choosing couples they connect with. Enquiries go through the contact form. No pricing, package or coverage detail is published on the site, so a quote comes back by reply.

Standout Feature

Super 8 film, offered alongside photography and digital video, and genuinely loved rather than bolted on: Sam has a Super 8 camera tattooed on his arm.
