-
Enquiry
Tell us about your wedding through our website, phone, email, or social media, and we'll take it from there. Once we know your wedding date, venues, and the coverage you're looking for, we'll confirm our availability and answer any questions you may have.

Consultation
We’ll schedule a consultation to understand your vision, timeline, venues, and the style of photography and videography you’re looking for. Based on your plans, we’ll recommend the package that best suits your wedding.

Once you’ve chosen your package, we’ll prepare your booking proposal, contract, and invoice. Your wedding date is confirmed once the booking fee has been received, giving you one less thing to think about while planning.

Wedding Planning
As your wedding day approaches, we’ll help with the photography timeline, family photo list, portrait locations around Manly if required, and coordinate with your planner or other vendors to keep everything organised and running smoothly.
-
Wedding Day Coverage
On the day, our photography and cinematography team works together to document everything from the morning preparations to the ceremony, portraits, reception, and celebrations, allowing you to stay present while we handle the coverage.

Editing
After the wedding, every selected photograph is professionally edited and colour graded, while your films are carefully crafted into cinematic edits. We take the time to ensure every image and film reflects the true ambience of your day.
-
Sneak Peeks
You won’t have to wait until the full gallery is ready. Shortly after your wedding, we’ll share a selection of preview photographs so you can enjoy a first look and share a few favourite images with family and friends.
