Good! We want that for you too! And here’s how we do it:

1. share your outfits with us
   photos of you wearing them work best. this helps us understand the vibe and suggest locations that match your looks.

2. show us inspiration you love
   this can be from our social media, our website, or pinterest saves. it helps us get a better sense of your style and recommend locations that suit you.
   please note that we do not handle venue logistics. clients are responsible for all bookings, permits, and communication with third-party venues.

3. follow the light
   great light makes great photos. if the weather is not on our side, we will adapt and find the best alternative spot to keep the magic going.

we do not plan full routes in advance, but we are very happy to suggest options based on your session length, outfits, and the type of photos you want.

it really depends. are we moving quickly like a fashion shoot or taking our time and enjoying each moment?

on average, a 4-hour session fits about 2 to 3 locations comfortably, without rushing or spending too much time traveling between spots.

curious what that looks like?
here’s a peek at past sessions:

thanks for asking.

we are generally flexible, but most pre-wedding sessions are kept within about 1 hour of travel from our base. this helps us spend more time shooting and less time on the road, while also keeping travel fees reasonable for couples.

for a standard 4-hour shoot, we recommend 2 to 3 looks:

• one formal wedding gown for that classic, timeless feel

• one or two casual outfits for a more relaxed, natural vibe

we do not provide suits because fit makes all the difference.

we recommend bringing the suit with you when you try on dresses so we can help you coordinate a cohesive couple look.

Heading to Melbourne? We recommend lockin’ in your booking 1 to 2 weeks in advance to secure your spot!

Flying in from overseas? No stress at all! Swinging by for a dress try-on the day before your shoot works like an absolute charm.

Because we are detail-obsessed in the best way possible! A well-matched bouquet and outfit instantly elevate the entire mood, making your photos feel cohesive, polished, and intentional. This is your story, and every little detail helps bring it to life.

It depends on your session length and locations, but you can generally expect about 80 to 100 original photos per hour. All your gorgeous images will be delivered straight to you via a private Google Drive link.

Of course you can! For the absolute best results, we recommend finalizing your outfits first. Then, we can pick locations that perfectly complement your colors and overall vibe.

A 30% deposit is required to officially lock in your shoot date and make it officially yours.

It all depends on your vibe!

• For soft, warm tones: We highly recommend autumn or winter. The light during these seasons is super gentle, flattering, and very easy on all skin tones.

• For a bright, sun-filled beach vibe: Summer is your best match!

We usually avoid that harsh midday glare and prefer shooting during golden hour, just before or after sunset. We will also custom-tailor the timing based on your outfits once they are locked in.

For reference:

• Summer: Sunset is around 8:00 pm, so sessions usually start around 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm and run into dusk.

• Winter: Sunset is much earlier and the light stays soft all day, so we usually kick off around 1:00 pm.

Yes, of course! Mother Nature has a mind of her own, so we offer a few fun options:

• Reschedule your shoot for another day.

• Keep shooting with umbrellas (trust us, it can look incredibly romantic).

• Switch to a cozy indoor location like a chic café or a moody bar.

We will always help you make the best call based on the forecast.

We will reach out to confirm your exact shoot time again one to two days before the session. In the meantime, please feel free to flood our inbox with outfit ideas or inspiration images! We absolutely love seeing them, and it helps us get a feel for your style so we can create something that feels truly you.
