About

Overview & Vibe

Light and Type is Nicole Peterson, a wedding photographer living in East Gippsland and working across Gippsland and Melbourne. She shoots on both 35mm film and digital, publishes her entry prices openly, and has photographed weddings at Chapter Barn, Hogget Kitchen in Warragul and Mewburn Park Homestead, as well as further afield in New Zealand and Italy.

Style & Approach

She describes her approach in three words: relaxed, observant and intentional. She focuses on the quiet gestures, the laughter and the in-between glances rather than arranged poses, and says she will guide and direct rather than pose anyone awkwardly. Her aim is to fit in and feel like one of your good mates hanging out for the day, and she works with film alongside digital.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere across Gippsland or around Melbourne who want the day recorded as it unfolds. She takes elopements as readily as full celebrations, and welcomes destination weddings, having already worked interstate, in New Zealand and in Italy.

The Need-to-Knows

Pricing starts from $2,500 for elopements and $3,500 for weddings.
A full day of eight hours returns a minimum of 500 images.
A sneak peek arrives within 24 to 48 hours and the full gallery in four to six weeks.
She custom designs albums herself, with a discount for adding one before the wedding day.
A thirty per cent non-refundable deposit holds the date exclusively.
Enquiries are usually answered within three business days.

Standout Feature

She has been photographing weddings for more than ten years and trained first as a graphic designer, which shows in how carefully the details are seen. Working in 35mm film alongside digital is still unusual, and it is the reason her galleries carry a texture that a purely digital set does not.

Albums & Prints

Custom designed wedding album — price quoted on enquiry. she designs every album herself, and there is a discount for adding one to the package before the wedding day rather than afterwards.
