About

Overview & Vibe

Tanya Strauss is a Bendigo documentary wedding photographer with more than a decade behind the camera, first in South Africa and now across central Victoria. Her work is built around feeling rather than polish: the nervous excitement before the aisle, the tears during speeches, the quiet moments couples almost forget. She photographs weddings, elopements and engagements, and offers wedding film as a separate line.

Style & Approach

Documentary and unscripted. She follows the day as it unfolds and goes after the unexpected, the hilarious and the slightly chaotic rather than the arranged pose. The results are warm and natural, with a preference for golden light and for the small overlooked moments between the set pieces. Rain, collapsing timelines and restless children are all treated as part of the story.

Ideal For

Couples marrying around Bendigo and central Victoria who want an emotional record rather than a formal one, and who would rather be photographed than posed. She is equally at home at a vineyard, a stables, a pine forest or a golf club, and covers intimate elopements as readily as full-day celebrations.

The Need-to-Knows

Elopements start from $2,400 and weddings from $3,600, with packages built to order rather than sold as fixed tiers. Enquire with your date and she will send a pricing guide or a tailored quote; a signed contract and a ten percent deposit secure the day. She serves Bendigo, Victoria and the greater Melbourne region, and offers wedding videography alongside the photography.

Standout Feature

She scouts and writes up the venues she shoots, from Chateau Dore and Belvoir Park Estate to Lavandula Farm and Trawool Estate, so couples still choosing a location can read a photographer’s view of the light and the spaces before they book. Ask her about the venue guides when you enquire.
