Rates Rates Rates: How much do I charge for a wedding?

October 23, 2025

Money. Pricing. “Investment.”
Whatever word you want to use, it’s one of those topics that everyone thinks is awkward, but honestly… it doesn’t need to be. I like being upfront. No guessing games. No “enquire for a quote” only to find out you need to sell a kidney.

So here it is.
My actual prices.
Written by me.

Before we get into the numbers, I want to explain something important:
Wedding photography isn’t just turning up with a camera and taking a few cute pictures of you both looking in different directions (though I do that too — very well, might I add).

What you're paying for is:

  • My time (on the day and long after it)

  • Professional editing (this alone is HOURS)

  • Backup systems, storage, insurance, gear, travel

  • The stress of getting “the kiss” every single time, no matter what the lighting, weather, or aunties are doing

  • The experience I bring to make your day calmer, easier, and actually fun

Tier 01 — $1,700 Wedding Package

2–4 Hours of Coverage
Perfect for:
  • Smaller ceremonies
  • Registry weddings
  • City elopements
  • No-fuss celebrations
  • “We just want the important bits captured” kinda days
What you get:
  • Coverage of your ceremony
  • Family photos
  • Couple portraits
  • A whole bunch of candids
  • Enough time to tell the story without dragging it out
  • Fully edited gallery
  • Delivered online in high-resolution
This package exists because not everyone wants the full-day shebang. Some people just want the essentials captured beautifully — and that’s exactly what this is for.

Tier 02 — $3,500 Wedding Package

6 Hours of Coverage
Perfect for couples who want a bit more breathing room.
Six hours gives us enough time to capture:
  • Pre-wedding prep (one side only, unless we’re speedy)
  • Ceremony
  • Family photos
  • Portraits
  • Speeches or early reception moments
  • All the fun in-between things
This is the package most couples book because it balances everything nicely — enough time to tell the full story of the day without photographing you brushing your teeth at 6am (unless you’re into that? No judgment).

Tier 03 — $5,000 Full-Day Package

12 Hours of Wedding Coverage
This is the big one.
The “start-to-finish, no-moment-missed” package.
Perfect for:
  • Full-day celebrations
  • Cultural weddings
  • Big bridal parties
  • Long travel days
  • Couples who want absolutely everything documented
What it includes:
  • Both sides getting ready
  • Ceremony
  • Family
  • Portraits
  • Reception
  • Dance floor chaos
  • Golden hour / sunset
  • Late-night shenanigans (these are always my favourites)
  • Basically your whole wedding story from start to finish
Full-day coverage lets me be deeply part of your day. I blend in, I disappear, I appear when needed, I manoeuvre around chaos like a barefoot ninja. You get the full documentary of your wedding as it actually happened — not just the highlights.

Do I offer custom pricing? Yes of course!

Every couple is different.
Some weddings are simple.
Some are wild.
Some involve Hungry Jack’s emergency lunch breaks in Hyde Park (I’m looking at the Tom & Bonnie couples out there).
Flexibility matters.
Clarity matters.
And giving you control over what fits your day matters most.

If none of the packages above fit your needs, budgets or day that's completely fine, send me a message and we cant chat it out!
