About
Overview & Vibe
Lavan Photography is a Melbourne team shooting weddings and wedding film together, working from Ashburton across the city and five Victorian regions. The tone they set is unhurried and unposed; their own words are that the day should flow while they stay out of the way of it.
Style & Approach
They describe their photography as relaxed and spontaneous, modern and natural, blending art with photojournalism. Light is worked as they find it: candid moments in naturally lit settings, with an unobtrusive habit meant to catch real expressions rather than arranged ones. The result is aimed at being timeless rather than of a particular year.
Ideal For
Couples who want photography and film from one team and would rather not brief two suppliers. It suits anyone marrying outside the city too, the Yarra Valley, Geelong and the Bellarine, the Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenong Ranges, Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges all carry published weddings. Intimate celebrations are catered for separately, and same-sex weddings are a stated specialty with three published stories of their own.
The Need-to-Knows
Photography and film both GST inclusive, and booking the two together takes off. Images arrive edited in high and low resolution with no watermark and no restriction on printing or sharing, alongside a keepsake box of prints, a wooden USB and an online gallery that stays open for six months. A second photographer an hour and albums begin. No number of hours is quoted, and no delivery time is stated.
Standout Feature
The published portfolio is unusually deep for a studio of this size: sixty-six complete weddings, most running past a hundred frames, so a couple can see an entire day at their own venue rather than a curated handful.
