PERSONALIsATION
Most weddings share a similar rhythm but we want to understand the flow of your day, who’s important to you and any sensitive issues we should be aware of. We will chat with you in the lead up to your wedding about your plans and your day.
TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS We shoot every wedding with two photographers. Christiana is the studio’s primary photographer and is the lead photographer on all our weddings. We always have another photographer there to help out and capture additional photographs
ALL THE BEST IMAGES OF THE DAY We carefully select the best images of the day for our clients- we believe in quality over quantity. On average clients still receive around 800-1000 high resolution digital images from their day delivered both digitally online and on a beautiful keepsake USB
HAND EDITING OF ALL IMAGES All your final images are carefully adjusted to bring the best out of your wedding photographs. Colour balance, exposure adjustments and that special pop that makes your photos fabulous!
PASSWORD SECURE ONLINE GALLERY Save yourself the hassle of getting copies to family and friends from your USB. Send them to your private online gallery where they can download high resolution digitals and order prints at cost price.

Engagement Shoots Sometimes the importance of an engagement shoot can be overlooked- it’s not just about the pretty engagement pictures! It is an opportunity to get to know your photographer and run through a few handy tips and tricks to have you looking amazing and feeling confident on your wedding day.
Choose your style We offer both a standard and a styled engagement shoot to our couples. Both shoots will offer guidance on how to get the most from your wedding photographs and all the digital images. A standard shoot is one hour and can be at any location within 30mins of the studio we will capture around 30-45 relaxed and fun photos of the two of you together. A styled shoot is your chance to let your personality shine! It lasts around two hours and can be nearly anywhere!
Plan it We love custom styled engagement shoots like the one Lisa and Justin had at Audley Weir. Lisa wanted to create a relaxed styled shoot loosely inspired by The Notebook and the results were amazing! This style of e-shoot is perfect when you are including a guest book with your package and are absolutely worth the extra investment and planning!
Dress your best! Think layers, patterns and textures as they add a visual interest to your photos. Avoid logos and bold patterns think classic, timeless neutrals mixed with great accessories. Mix light weight materials with some denim, lace knits etc. Follow your vision and style. Think about having your make-up trial DONE for your e-shoot to see how it photographs!
Wedding Albums Our albums are handmade by Australia’s best album manufacturers. They offer the highest quality and complete guarantee of craftsmanship. With multiple options in covers including Acrylic, Leather, Buckram and Silk with a huge range of colours, we are sure you will find something gorgeous to compliment your wedding palette. Albums come standard with 20 pages of custom design to show off your best wedding images and to tell the full story of your wedding day. Couples will often boost their album and occasionally even have multiple volumes- it just depends on you! Adding a duplicate album for your parents is a thoughtful way to says thank you- all the parents LOVE them! A priceless family heirloom to be cherished for generations, it is a valuable addition to your wedding collection.
