About

Overview & Vibe

Stellar Visions is two people: Hugh Buttsworth, lead cinematographer, and Rob Dose, lead photographer. Book them and you get both. The studio started as a video business and became what it is in 2011, when Rob joined with years of wedding photography behind him, and the pitch since has been one production plan serving two mediums rather than two crews working around each other. Pricing is unusually plain: $330 an hour per camera operator, so six hours is $1,980 and ten is $3,300.

Style & Approach

Planned and considered rather than run-and-gun — their own line is about knowing when to take the right photograph instead of carelessly taking every photograph. They shoot for the story, and they say the images should be fun, on the theory that a couple enjoying themselves is what makes a frame worth keeping. Hugh handles the questions; the direction then travels inward to the team.

Ideal For

Couples who want photography and film from one booking without hiring two suppliers who have never met. The venue write-ups are worth reading if you are still choosing — Crown Metropol, Joondalup Resort, Mardella Meadows, Mulberry Estate, Old Broadwater Farm and Perth Zoo each get their own page. There are galleries by tradition too, including Anglican, Orthodox and Jewish ceremonies.

The Need-to-Knows

An hourly rate rather than packages: $330 per hour per camera operator, with published tiers at six hours ($1,980), eight ($2,640), ten ($3,300) and an all-day option at $10,560 across multiple operators. Photographs come back through a shared folder in print and web resolutions, in colour and black and white. Only one wedding is taken per day. Photo books run $660 to $880, presentation boxes $55 to $330, all including GST.

Standout Feature

Both principals have won international awards in their own medium — Rob took first place in the wedding category of the International Photography Awards, Hugh a silver at the 2009 WEVA International awards. They are candid that chasing more of them stopped being the point.
