About

Overview & Vibe

A full-time Melbourne wedding photography and video studio with an in-house team, working only on weddings since 2010 and with more than three thousand behind it. It is one of the few photographers in this directory with a studio you can actually visit — in Docklands, by appointment — and one of very few that publishes every price on its own site.

Style & Approach

In their own words, timeless elegance and authentic emotion: natural light, soft and romantic images that are classic and contemporary at once, and a mix of candid moments with gentle, elegant direction. They describe the approach as natural, relaxed and unposed rather than staged.

Ideal For

Couples who want photography and video from one team rather than two suppliers, and who would rather see the whole price list before enquiring. The six, ten and twelve hour tiers suit anything from a compact day to preparations through to the dance floor.

The Need-to-Knows

Photography with an online album: $1,990 for six hours, $2,490 for ten, $2,990 for twelve.
Adding video: $2,990, $4,990 and $5,990 for the same tiers.
Expect 500 to 900 edited images, delivered about sixteen weeks after the day.
Travel beyond twenty kilometres of the city centre is $3 per kilometre.
A $1,250 deposit holds the date, with a second payment of $1,500 a month before.

Standout Feature

Consultations happen at their own Docklands studio, where they will show you complete galleries and full-length films from real weddings rather than a highlights reel — which is a fair way to judge a photographer before you commit.

Albums & Prints

Fine Art Album, eleven by fourteen inches. Price: $880. Description: Custom designed and handcrafted in Australia, with images you choose.
Fine Art Album, twelve by sixteen inches. Price: $990. Description: The larger size, same construction.
