About

Overview & Vibe

Dan works from Healesville, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, and keeps the offer deliberately simple: two wedding packages, both priced openly on his own site, plus a short elopement option. A couple describes him as the master of great candids who felt like an old mate invited to the wedding, which is close to how he describes the job himself.

Style & Approach

Laid-back and timeless, with editing he calls classic and true-to-life so the photographs will not look like a trend from five years ago. He covers the candid moments, couple portraits, family photos, key events and the dance floor, and is quick about the posed parts — fifteen good minutes and you are back with your guests.

Ideal For

Couples who want the whole day covered without a long portrait session, and who would rather see the price before enquiring. The two-hour elopement package suits a small ceremony, and travel within two hours of Healesville is already in the price.

The Need-to-Knows

Six hours is $4,750 and eight hours is $5,250; an elopement is $2,250.
Expect roughly seventy-five images for every hour of coverage.
Your gallery arrives within four to six weeks.
A $1,000 non-refundable deposit holds the date, and he books out twelve to eighteen months ahead.
Travel within two hours of Healesville is included; beyond that there is a published table.

Standout Feature

The travel pricing is unusually honest — an all-inclusive figure covering flights, taxis, car hire and a night’s accommodation, quoted as a maximum, with anything he saves passed back to you.

Albums & Prints

Fine Art Book. Price: From $1,750. Description: A ten by ten inch square book on museum-quality fine art paper, forty pages, leather bound. Fully customisable across a wide range of colours and materials, and he designs it with you once you have chosen the cover and number of spreads.

Appointment Policy

Enquire through the site, and a $1,000 non-refundable deposit holds your date.
He is available to talk through ideas, timings and questions at any point after booking.
He recommends catching up a week or two before the wedding to go over final details.
His calendar generally books out twelve to eighteen months ahead.
