About

Overview & Vibe

One Day Collective is Danielle — Dee — Thomas, a wedding and elopement photographer based at Tarrington in western Victoria, a few minutes east of Hamilton. She works across the Grampians and down to the coast, and describes herself as a photographer who brings more to the day than a camera: part documentary shooter, part planner, part timeline guru. The tone is loud, warm and unfussy, and she is candid that she wants to be at the party as much as behind the lens.

Style & Approach

Her own words for the work are adventurous, romantic and fun, shot in a relaxed way that documents the day as it unfolds. She writes that there are no awkward moments with her because the two of you simply spend the day together. Couples describe her as laid back and calm, and as someone who knew what they wanted before they did.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in the Grampians, around Hamilton and Dunkeld, or along the south-west coast, who want a photographer who will also help shape the running of the day. She photographs full wedding days and intimate elopements with equal billing, and states plainly that she photographs LGBTQIA+ weddings however couples identify.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding photography starts at $3,900. Elopement coverage is offered separately from $3,150, and a joint elopement package run with celebrant Jo Moon starts at $2,850 and includes the ceremony, the legal paperwork and the marriage certificate as well as two hours of photography. Images arrive as high-resolution files without watermarks on a USB in a keepsake box, with web-sized copies for sharing. A few images are shared within days of the wedding.

Standout Feature

The elopement side is a genuine two-person offering rather than an add-on. Booking it brings a celebrant into the arrangement from the start, with five weeks quoted as the minimum lead time for the legal documents to be lodged, and witnesses provided if a couple has none.

Albums & Prints

  • Fine Art Wedding Album — price not published. Handmade and custom-designed by her, with a choice of linen or leather cover, chosen colour and embossing, custom names or monogram, and thirty spreads included.
