About

Overview & Vibe

Jonathan Wherrett photographs weddings from Hobart, across Tasmania and well beyond it — Italy, Hawaii, Portugal, Spain and Bali all appear in his published work. His own summary of the job is simple: there is nothing quite like spending a day with two people at their happiest.

Style & Approach

Unhurried and considered, drawn to light, composition and the quietly beautiful moments that happen between the big ones. He describes his style as clean, considered and timeless rather than trend-driven — images meant to look as good in twenty years as they do today — and credits a former life studying architecture for the clean lines and framing. On the day he works in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, keeping portrait sessions short and focused; most couples tell him they forgot he was there.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere in Tasmania, from an intimate ceremony to a multi-day destination wedding. His published work runs from the Islington Hotel and St David’s Cathedral in Hobart to Stefano Lubiana in the Derwent Valley, the Agrarian Kitchen at New Norfolk, Premaydena Hill on the Tasman Peninsula and Vaucluse Estate in the north — and includes same-sex weddings photographed as a matter of course.

The Need-to-Knows

Four collections run from three to ten hours of continuous coverage, priced $2,950 to $5,950 for October to April; the off-season from May to September is discussed individually. Extra hours are $500 each. A $1,000 booking fee secures the date, and the exact collection can be settled later. Travel within 50 km of Hobart is included, with set rates beyond that and individual quotes interstate and overseas. Sneak peeks arrive within days and the full private gallery around four to six weeks later, with every edited image in both print and web resolution to keep.

Standout Feature

Albums are his favourite part of the process rather than an upsell — two hand-crafted options, a square fine-art book from $1,750 and a larger landscape Duo from $2,300, both 20% cheaper if added before the wedding, and he guides the whole design himself from image selection to final layout.

Albums & Prints

10x10 inch Fine Art Album. Price: From $1,750. Description: A square format album in 10x10 or 12x12 inches, with flushmount semi-matte photo pages or fine art paper pages, and covers in silk, linen, genuine or faux leather with custom embossing.
10x14 inch Duo Album. Price: From $2,300. Description: A larger landscape album, standard size 14x10 inches with larger sizes available, combining matted and flushmount pages, with cover options in leather, linen and silk.
