Personalise Your Wedding Photography Package
As a Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, I know that no two weddings are the same, the only thing everyone shares is signing the legal paperwork! Whether you're planning a big celebration with your bridal party and a packed dance floor, or keeping it low-key with a micro wedding and your closest crew, your day should feel like you.
I get it, I wore red on my wedding day, said "I do" in the park across from my parents’ place, & threw a big backyard party at our home. That’s why I’ve designed my wedding photography packages to be flexible & reflect your vibe. Whether you're drawn to my popular Cherish Signature Collection or want to add extras like Bride prep or go the full-day coverage, there’s a package to suit your story.
Bride & Groom Prep
The excitement, the nerves, the final touches, some of the most emotional moments of the day happen before you even say "I do." Adding Bride & Groom Prep coverage means capturing those sweet, behind-the-scenes moments, your dress being buttoned up, final hugs with your parents, or your partner’s reaction to a heartfelt letter. I highly recommend this if you have more than two in your bridal party to ensure we capture all the fun and anticipation before the ceremony.
Reception Formalities
Your wedding day doesn’t end after the "I do’s", some of the most joyful and unforgettable moments happen at the reception! From the cake cutting and first dance to heartfelt speeches, fun games, and dance floor antics, this upgrade ensures all those special moments are captured, so you can relive the magic long after the last song plays.
Wedding Album & Extra Page Upgrades
Your wedding album is more than just photos, it's your love story, beautifully told. My albums are 12x8 inches with 20 pages, and gold embossed title of your choice, designed to showcase your day in the most meaningful way. Want to include even more of your favourite moments? You can add extra pages to your Cherish Signature Collection, or choose one of my other Collections that already includes additional spreads. (1 double page spread = 2 pages)
Parent Album
A wedding album isn’t just for you, a Parent Album makes the perfect thank-you gift for Mum & Dad, a heartfelt keepsake for Nan, or even a brag book to take to the office. It’s a beautiful way to share your day with loved ones who want their own little piece of your wedding story. Parent album is 5x7 inches and is a duplicate of the main album. *Note - parent album does not come with title.
Videographer & Content Creator
Want to relive your wedding day in motion? I’ve teamed up with amazing videographers and content creators who seamlessly work alongside me to capture your day effortlessly. If you’re interested, I can connect you with them directly, so you can get both stunning photos and incredible video coverage of your wedding day.
Print Store
Your wedding photos deserve more than just a spot on your phone! For your convenience, a professional print store is built right into your online gallery, making it easy to order beautiful, high-quality prints, frames, and canvases, delivered straight to your door.
Engagement Photoshoot
An Engagement Session is a fun, relaxed way to celebrate this exciting time in your lives! Perfect for camera-shy couples, it helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Plus, the photos are great for save-the-dates, wedding invitations, your wedding website, or even a personalised guest book on your wedding day. Add an Engagement Couple’s Photoshoot Collection from $297.
Travel Fee
One location of travel (to and from your wedding venue on the Sunshine Coast, Qld) is included in your photography package. However, if your wedding day involves multiple locations - such as getting ready in one place, the ceremony in another, and the reception elsewhere - a travel fee applies. This covers travel expenses and the additional time required to move between locations, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience on your big day. Travel price outside of the Sunshine Coast is available on application.

When I got married, I wore a red dress, skipped the traditions that didn’t feel like us, and created a celebration that was completely our own. That’s exactly what I want for you, a wedding that reflects your love story.
My 3C’s philosophy - Your Celebration, Your Connections, Your Cherished Moments, guides every image I capture. Because at the end of the day, it’s about the laughter, the love, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments you’ll treasure forever.
