About

Overview & Vibe

Island Light Photography is a Tasmanian photographer who came to the island in 2019 after a career that began in television documentary and ran through twenty-five years of commercial work. Weddings are one of several lines he shoots, and the wedding work is unhurried and observational rather than staged — his own three words for it are candid, timeless, and memories forever.

Style & Approach

Documentary in the literal sense: he made documentaries before he made photographs, and the same instinct shows in weddings shot as they happen. The Tasmanian landscape does a lot of the work in his images — he named the business as a homage to the light on the island, having grown up on another one.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in Tasmania who want a photographer at ease anywhere from a beach to a vineyard to a farm shed, and couples at either end of the scale: the two-hour package is built for elopements and registry weddings, and the eight-hour one covers getting ready through to the dance floor.

The Need-to-Knows

Three wedding packages, all priced and all with an image count attached: two hours from $650 with 50 to 75 edited images, five hours from $1,650 with 350 to 500, and eight hours from $2,500 with 650 to 1,000. He also shoots commercial, portrait, documentary and event work, and sells prints through an online store, so wedding photography is one part of a broader practice rather than the whole of it.

Standout Feature

He publishes an edited-image count against every package, which is unusual and genuinely useful — you know before booking roughly how many finished photographs you are buying, not just how many hours.

Price Notes

  • Every wedding package states how many edited images you receive, not just how many hours: 50 to 75 for the two-hour package, 350 to 500 for the five-hour, and 650 to 1,000 for the eight-hour.
  • He shoots several kinds of work beyond weddings, so if you are comparing quotes it is worth confirming which of his lines your enquiry falls under. Portrait sessions are priced separately, from $150 for a thirty-minute session and from $250 for an hour.
