About

Overview & Vibe

Rocco and Tanya work as a pair — partners in life and in the studio, out of Carlton. Rocco is Italian born, has been photographing for twenty-five years, and is one of the most decorated wedding photographers in the country: Australian Wedding Photographer of the Year four times, and one of only three people in the world to hold Grand Master status with both the AIPP and WPPI.

Style & Approach

A thoughtful blend of editorial and documentary, in his own words — gentle guidance for composed frames, then stepping back for the unplanned ones. His background is in the darkroom, and the work shows it: deep, structured light, and a lot of black and white.

Ideal For

Couples who want two photographers who have done this for decades and who care about what happens after the day. Tanya came from photojournalism and handles planning, styling and image curation; couples repeatedly describe her stepping in as an extra bridesmaid.

The Need-to-Knows

Pricing is not published — a proposal follows your enquiry.
A pre-wedding session is included in every standard collection.
A twelve-inch leather album and a fine art print box come with all packages.
He suggests booking twelve to eighteen months ahead for Melbourne spring and autumn dates.
A signed agreement and a booking deposit hold the date.

Standout Feature

He prints his own work. Albums are made with a bespoke Italian binder in fine leather, silk and archival paper, and Rocco teaches printmaking internationally — so the album is not an afterthought bought from a supplier, it is the part of the craft he is best known for.
