Melbourne Wedding Photography

You should aim to book your photographer 9 to 18 months in advance, particularly if your wedding falls in peak season (spring or autumn). The best photographers book out early!

Consider:
– Style: Do you like light and airy, moody and romantic, candid, editorial, or classic?
– Experience: Have they shot weddings similar to yours in style or venue type?
– Budget: Prices vary, so make sure you know what’s included (hours, number of shooters, albums, etc.).
– Personality: You’ll spend most of your day with them – do you feel comfortable and relaxed with them?
– Turnaround time: Ask when and how you’ll receive your gallery.

On average:
– Half-day coverage: $1,500–$2,500
– Full-day coverage: $2,500–$5,000+
Prices vary based on the photographer’s experience, location, hours of coverage, second shooter availability, and album inclusions.

Yes! Many Melbourne wedding photographers also offer sessions for engagements, proposals, elopements, vow renewals, birthdays, anniversaries, and even family portraits.

Not always, but it helps! A second shooter can capture moments from different angles, like the groom’s reaction while the bride walks down the aisle or extra candid guest shots during the ceremony and reception.
