About

Overview & Vibe

Ingrid Kjelling has been a full-time wedding photographer since 2017, with hundreds of weddings behind her, and she works from Bunbury up and down the coast between Perth and Margaret River. Her pitch is unfussy and specific: good vibes, laughter and love, for the fun, modern couple. Nothing forced, nothing awkward, just moments that will still matter twenty years from now. She caps herself at three weddings a month, which is unusual and tells you how she works.

Style & Approach

She calls it simple, documentary-style photography inspired by you — a wholesome blend of unscripted moments and flattering, relaxed portraits. She describes herself as a go-with-the-flow shooter who takes a lot of in-between moments, details and guest candids along the way, and she has always been drawn to genuine laughter and a whole lot of chaos rather than perfectly posed portraits. If you are nervous in front of a camera she has heard it before: ninety per cent of her couples say the same thing.

Ideal For

Couples anywhere between Perth and Margaret River who want someone local to the South West rather than a visitor. The four-hour Short Story is built for micro-weddings and intimate gatherings; the ten-hour Extended Story covers getting ready through to the party. Anyone who is not big on public affection, wants their pets in the photographs, or fancies a few rolls of 35mm film alongside the digital, will find all three answered plainly on her site.

The Need-to-Knows

Four packages: $3,500 for up to four hours, $4,500 for six, $4,950 for eight and $5,450 for ten, each including a discount on an engagement or pre-wedding shoot and free travel within an hour of Bunbury — two hours on the largest package. A second photographer is $120 an hour and extra coverage is $400 an hour. Albums start at $950. Booking is $1,000 up front, with Klarna and custom payment plans available. Sneak peeks land the day after the wedding; the full gallery takes three to eight weeks and a full day typically runs 700 to 1,000 images. Most couples book eight to twelve months ahead.

Standout Feature

The three-weddings-a-month cap. It is the reason the sneak peeks arrive the day after and the reason she can promise a customised timeline before the day — but it also means the calendar closes early, so a date that is still free may not be bookable.

Albums & Prints

  • Wedding Album — from $950. Sold as an optional extra alongside any package, with one hour of design time included and travel quoted separately on enquiry.

Appointment Policy

  • Send your date and location through the enquiry form so she can check the calendar.
  • She caps bookings at three weddings a month, so a month can close even while your date is still free.
  • If she is available you will be invited to a casual video call to talk through the day before anything is signed.
  • Most couples book eight to twelve months ahead.
