WEDDING PACKAGES

My approach is warm and honest, my images are sometimes big and loud, sometimes quiet and tender, but always authentic and a reflective of the two people at the centre of the it all. Getting to know my clients is huge for me, because without doing so how can I be in a position to tell your story? At the end of the day, what I want is for people who have never met you before to be able to see the images and get a sense of who you are, both as individuals and to each other. To get a sense of the relationships that are important to you, to feel like they know some of the characters that make up your life. I want you to be able to look back at them and feel some shadow of what you felt in each moment, to spark reminiscence, and story telling and emotion and joy.

*Now taking bookings for 2024*

Wedding packages start from $5900. Elopements start from $3000. Get in touch for more info and full pricing.

ALL PACKAGES INCLUDE

  • Pre-wedding consultation - be it an in-person coffee, wine, beer or zoom. You will have my undivided attention and care from the outset to make sure everything goes the way you want it to. I have plenty of tips to help the day run as smoothly as possible and will make myself available for any advice and help you need throughout the planning process.

  • Web gallery + download of both high resolution and low resolution images

  • Guaranteed delivery of the final images within 6 weeks of the wedding - it's normally closer to 4 but just incase things are super busy

  • Online print store - so you can order any extra beautiful quality prints straight to your door from the gallery

  • Travel within Sydney (I travel all over the place for weddings and travel fees are determined on a bespoke basis)

THE SWEET PACKAGE YOU’LL GET IN THE MAIL

Who doesn’t love receiving a big package in the mail? Immediately having something beautiful and tangible at the end of the day makes a world of difference. I get my fine art prints made in Melbourne and shipped up to Sydney because they are the best in Australia. They are printed on museum grade paper and will last forever (or at least a lifetime or two), and will immediately give you something to put next to your bed, or at your desk and will give you a little hit of dopamine every time you look at them.

ALBUMS

I believe in these for so many reasons.

To me, the whole point of what I do is to spark reminiscence and emotion, and to prompt discussion and “holy shit I completely forgot about..” moments between you and your family for literal decades to come. To give you a vivid reminder of what this all felt like, long after the last song’s been sung.

These are far and away the best way to do that.

How often do people invest time and energy and effort getting beautiful photos for their wedding day, only for them to sit on a hard drive somewhere gathering electronic dust? The added value you get by immediately having this beautiful, tangible thing to have and hold infinitely outstrips the cost. The very presence of a physical book sitting on your coffee table, or on a shelf in the living room makes you so much likely to do all the things above.

I’ve met lots of couples who thought they “weren’t album people”, but these aren’t your typical wedding albums. I put a lot of energy and effort into making them unique and something that reflects the people in them. I get them produced in the US because they are literally the best I can find on the planet.

You’re not buying a wedding album - you’re investing in the memory and the joy of one hell of a day, distilled into a 9 x 12 inch, hardcover, matte finished, fine art, ex cotton plant / tree.

They are completely customisable in every possible way and I design them with you to ensure you get something you absolutely love.
