Little Wedding Planner

About

Overview & Vibe

Marcus Carter has photographed weddings for more than ten years and works across Ballarat and the surrounding regions. His own line for what he is after is capturing the I do and the I did what moments — the big ones and the small ones alongside them.

Style & Approach

He describes his work as natural, relaxed and beautifully authentic, aiming for timeless images rather than of the moment ones. He prides himself on delivering high quality photographs with minimal fuss, so a couple can simply enjoy the day while he documents it.

Ideal For

Couples who want a fixed, published price rather than a quote, and who would rather not notice the photographer working. The shorter package suits a ceremony and portraits without the reception; the full day covers both preparations through to candid photographs all evening.

The Need-to-Knows

Two packages, both priced openly. Four hours of coverage is 1,800 dollars and a full eight-hour day is 3,000 dollars. A sneak peek arrives within 48 hours of the wedding and the final images within four to six weeks. Bookings begin with a free consultation.

Standout Feature

The finished work is handed over as an object rather than a link — a wooden USB presented in a matching wooden photo box, with a selection of prints.
