“I can’t allow my quest for a perfect photo to become the reason I miss an emotionally important, fleeting moment.”
Jon Dolan
Weddings are one of the greatest moments of our lives. I may be biased, but when else do we get all of our most treasured friends and family all together in one place? The beauty and of course the chaos that ensues is something I’ll never get tired of witnessing, observing and documenting.
Im not a photographer who sticks to a plan, a shot list or whatever’s trending. I thrive in spontaneity, reacting to the moment rather than trying to control and mould it.

Coverage
Two Photographers, myself as the main photographer and then an assistant helping me throughout the wedding day. Full Day, I’ll finish once I’ve captured it all.
Film
15 rolls of film shot across a mix of 35mm & medium format cameras. Approximately 100 film images.
5 more rolls + $750
Online Gallery
Great for easy downloading, sharing and enjoying of your images. A selection of 15 images will be sent to you the day after the wedding and the full gallery delivered 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
Couples Shoot
An intimate 45min-1 hour shoot, often 2 days or so before the wedding and at a location near the wedding venue or neighbouring city. These are great for us to get to know each other a little more and for me to work out the best way to photograph the two of you. But most importantly these are always concluded with some drinks.
Welcome Dinner and Next Day Event
2 hour’s coverage both the night before the wedding at the rehearsal dinner and the day post at the recovery event. These are shot very candidly and are often some of my favourite parts of the wedding weekend.
Prints
5 Fine art A3 prints chosen by if you’d like they can be a surprise from me. Printed on gallery quality art paper delivered a few weeks after the wedding.

MOSTLY FILM
25-30 rolls of film shot across a mix of 35mm & medium format cameras. Approximately 600-800 film images, this is something truely unique, special and timeless. I will have a digital camera as back up but otherwise everything will be photographed on film and be gloriously imperfect.

As I live in Australia, often on the otherside of the world to many of my weddings there is some travel costs involved. I try to keep these down as much as possible but as you’ll understand I need to charge something to keep food on the table.
Europe and the USA - $1000
Africa - $750
If the location is out of these areas then let me know and I can quote separately.
NOTE
Personally Package 1 is my favourite way to photograph and in a perfect world how I would document every wedding.This package is for those who want the whole event captured.
When I’ve become friends with you and your guests, everybody see’s the camera less, and more of the person behind the lens. It allows people to relax, open up and then the images just fall into place.
A wedding is like a wave, if I’m intertwined into your inner-circle of friends I can ride the wave and let it guide me to the right moments almost effortlessly. If I don’t have a connection sometimes its like paddling against a rip and find myself fighting all day just trying to get out to where I want to be.
Extras
Second Photographer
A second shooter for the full day.
$1600
More Film
An additional 5 rolls of film.
$300
Welcome Dinner or Couples Shoot
Either 2 hour’s coverage the night before the wedding if you’re having a welcome dinner with guests, or a 1hour couples shoot at a location in the city of the wedding.
$2500
Most weddings I shoot solo, however if you have a particularly large wedding (e.g. 150+) or you have a lot of details you’d like photographed then I’d recommend it.
A roll of medium format film gives you 10 images whilst 35mm film yields 32-36. I use a mix of both formats on different cameras depending on the circumstance and conditions of the moment. Medium format creates large high resolution files but is often a bit slower and is better suited for portraits and more slow paced parts of the day. 35mm cameras came after medium format and often have higher shutter speeds and features that make them more suited for fast paced and in between moments.
The welcome dinner can be a great opportunity for me to get to know your friends and family and its always a great night filled with much excitement. A couples shoot is just you two and me hanging out, getting to know each other more and capturing some nice low-key portraits around the destination of your wedding on a mix of film and digital.
Why should we hire you?
My aim is to serve, help and guide you through not only the wedding day but the whole process, but coming alongside you as friend, and delivering images to be loved and treasured.
I pride myself on capturing the story of your wedding day. The real, raw, organic moments, and all the love, joy and emotions you share with those dearest to you.
I have an un-obtrusive, photo journalistic approach, an obsession with the in between moments and a passion for the perfect-imperfect that makes a wedding beautiful.
Feeling a little awkward or uncomfortable in front of the camera is totally normal and every couple feels this way to begin with. I dont have you in weird, forced, cheesy positions gazing into the camera like a deer in headlights. Just like every other couple I’ve photographed you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy, and actually comfortable being photographed can be.
Ive photographed over 200 weddings, I can help guide you through the process, together we can create images that are timeless and that you’ll have to treasure for the years to come.
But most importantly if you want a photographer who will get amongst it and sink a few drinks with you on your wedding day - then I’m your man.
So, what’s next?
If you’re keen to talk some more, I recommend we now either catch up for a drink or have a Zoom/Facetime call and get to know each other a little more. There you can ask any questions you may have, see if I’m the right fit for the job and there’s absolutely zero obligation for you to book after the catch up.
I only take on a certain amount of weddings each year so its pivotal that you’re comfortable with me and the better we get along the better the images you’ll get!
Send me an email or text if you’d like to chat more and I look forwards to hearing from you.
