Will it just be the two of you taking our photographs and filming on the day?

Yep, just us. No big crew getting in the way of the emotion, no massive tripods and rigging ruining the atmosphere, no studio lighting blocking people’s views.

Our clients often say “we barely even knew you were there” – this is our favourite thing to hear.

We never crowd you or make you feel overwhelmed; we ebb and flow around each other, taking turns to capture moments, never getting in the way. It’s not a photo shoot, it’s your wedding day.

*Sometimes we will bring an assistant, but they won’t be holding a camera – they’ll just be there to give us a helping hand with gear, etc.

Where are you based? Will you travel interstate/overseas?

We’re based in Melbourne, Australia, in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. We regularly travel for shoots, and we’ll go anywhere – our passports are ready.

We’ve been lucky enough to capture incredible celebrations in Sweden, France, Thailand, New Zealand, Portugal, USA, Indonesia, Fiji and all throughout Australia; we’re always thrilled at the chance to work in exotic places, and just as thrilled to shoot in a local Aussie pub.

For weddings more than 100kms out of Melbourne we’ll need you to cover some of our travel expenses. For overseas weddings we can offer you special rates to make things much more affordable.

What do we receive after the wedding?

Your photos:

700+ carefully edited photos in an online gallery – from here you can share, download, and print your memories to your heart’s content.  No restrictions, no up-selling later on from us, you’re good to go.

For those who love tangible treasures, we can create a beautiful album for you (highly recommended – seeing your memories on a page is the best). Please see the next FAQ for more info.

Your film/s:

Just as with the photos, the editing process plays an intrinsic role in giving our films their magic, cinematic feeling. Each 6 – 8 minute film is meticulously edited to a musical soundtrack, capturing the whole story of the day in a creative and engaging style.

If you select the Wedding Film + Special Features package, we will also provide you with a second film, featuring audiovisual recordings of the core part your ceremony (your vows, ring exchange, and announcement as husband and wife), as well as the speeches from the reception – all tied up with beautiful montages from your day.

The Wedding Film + Special Features + Rough Cut package is for those who want it all it includes all of the above, plus an untouched Rough Cut film: all of the footage Alastair captures throughout the day presented in chronological order, along with any audio he picks up with his on-camera mic whilst filming.

We'd like an album of our photos, can you help us with that?

We’d love to. In our increasingly digital age, there’s nothing like seeing your gorgeous memories in print. Lucy crafts each of her albums from scratch, customised to suit each individual couple – a tangible treasure to pass down through future generations.

The Album + Photo Collection package icludes a 10 x 10″ hardcover Fine Art Album, featuring up to 220 photos from your day, printed directly onto 80 pages of fine art paper (extra spreads can be added), with unlimited stunning options for the cover design.

80 pages sound like a lot? Trust us, you’ll want that many – your story deserves to be told in loads of detail. Instead of offering you a simpler album with fewer pages and then up-selling extra spreads afterwards, we cut right to it… get the big one. Fill it with faces, moments and details. Give your favourite shots their full page glory. You will love it.

Looking for a beautiful thank you gift for your parents or close friends? The Album + Parent Albums + Photo Collection package includes two matching 8 x 8″ albums, identical to the main album.

Will we meet before the big day?

Absolutely. We chat with all of our clients over Zoom/Facetime in the lead up to their big day, and are always eager to help with planning, scheduling, or sharing other tips we’ve accumulated over the years.

How do you feel about LGBTQ+ marriages?

All marriages are equal – it’s nuts that Australian laws took so long to recognise this.
We’re thrilled to work with so many incredible and diverse couples… whoever you are, we’d be honoured to capture your love.

How long will you shoot for on the day?

We’ve found that 8 hours usually covers a wedding day perfectly, allowing us to capture some of your prep time, right through to the dance-floor shenanigans.

We’re happy to stick around longer! Extra hours can be added for $400 per photographer/videographer, per hour (to cover both the extra shooting and extra editing time).

If you don’t think you need us for the full day, shorter bookings are also available – get in touch and we’ll customise a quote for you.

Do you shoot multiple weddings every weekend?

To ensure we remain passionate about our craft and give all of our clients 100%, we keep our annual number of wedding photography bookings capped at 30, and our filmmaking bookings capped at 15.

We really don’t like posing, will that be a problem?

Not at all. We thrive on capturing people being their natural selves – laughing, chatting, gettin’ down on the dance floor. We’ll capture the honest moments that happen through your day – that’s the really good stuff, anyway!

Whilst our approach is mostly unobtrusive, we’re very happy take a more directorial role during your portrait shoot if need be. We hate having our photos taken, so we get how intimidating it can be! We’ll keep the ‘directions’ casual – just enough guidance so you’re not standing there thinking ‘what do I do with my hands?!?’ (it’s a thing).

How is the music chosen for the Wedding Film?

We listen to the music you play throughout your day to get a great sense of what you like, and source a soundtrack that suits you and the feel of the day. It’s illegal to use popular hits without paying huge fees (and rightly so); we license music from talented emerging artists from around Australia and the world, for a small fee that’s built into the price of the film.

There are tonnes of incredible artists out there producing truly awesome music, and you’ll have the knowledge that not only are you directly supporting new talent, but your film’s soundtrack will be unique to you. You won’t associate your wedding film soundtrack with anything other than your day, making it so much more special and personal!

We love the process of finding the perfect music to suit your film, it’s as important to us as the footage – and we have really good taste. We realise we’re biased, but still… it’s true.

Do we need to provide a 'shot list' to you?

Nope – we shoot like photojournalists, capturing the day how it naturally unfolds. A shot list takes the spontaneity out of the experience, and won’t allow us to be creative and be truly ‘in the moment’.

All we need is a running sheet for the day with important addresses and phone numbers, and a list of which family portraits you’d like taken. You can leave the rest up to us – don’t worry, we love capturing even the tiniest of details!

How soon after the wedding will we receive the photo collection and film/s?

You can expect delivery of your photo collection within approximately 8-10 weeks of the big day, and your film/s within a few months (meticulously editing each film is a super involved process – good things can’t be rushed!).

Hoping to share a few gorgeous moments with loved ones quickly after the day? Don’t worry, we’ll send you a little ‘Sneak Peek’ photo gallery soon after the wedding, to keep you going until the whole collection is ready.

Once we've booked, do we speak to you much before the wedding?

Of course! We’re always available to chat and help you with any concerns or ideas you have.

We love to stay in touch with our clients in the lead up to (and after) the wedding day – it’s this connection that helps you to feel comfortable, and helps us to create beautiful photo collections and films for you to treasure.

How do we lock in a booking?

If you’re ready to book, we’ll send out our paperwork and get things happening! Once the forms are complete and we’ve received a 30% booking fee, we’ll be good to go.

Let’s do this.
