Wedding Photography Yarra Valley

Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to check out our website. I'm Jon, an experienced and AIPP accredited candid wedding photographer, and I'm dedicated to creating beautiful, natural images and capturing all the details and emotion – wedding photography Melbourne style. 

Although I started as a portrait photographer, I love shooting weddings, which has been my focus for the last 7 years. My approach is to capture your unforgettable day in a discreet, friendly and relaxed way while making sure to make those beautiful images you'll live forever.

Pricing, Packages and more Info

For complete information on what's included, click through to our Packages page and send me a quick email or fill in the form and send it through.

As soon as I get your enquiry, I'll check my availability for your date, and if I'm available, I'll send you back our Client Guide that has all the pricing info (as well as a bunch more information).

Preparations, Ceremony, Portraits and Reception

Often in meetings with couples, especially those who haven't been married before, I am asked the question, "So, how does it all work? How does the day run? What does natural or candid wedding photographer mean? What does a typical "wedding photography Melbourne" day mean when you shoot our wedding?

And although all celebrations are unique, they're usually made up of the phases of getting ready, the ceremony itself, portraits with family, friends and the bridal party, and then a party to celebrate. Not always in this order! We often do "first look" shoots where the couple sees each other for the first time before the ceremony itself, and sometimes even bridal party and family shots beforehand. It's completely up to you – it's your day – and I'm there to capture everything that happens (and give you a hand or some advice if you're not sure when to do what).

Preparations

If I'm covering your preparations (check out our Client Guide to see our different packages relating to wedding photography Melbourne), then usually I'll start with the groom (or one of the brides if we have two!), and then head on to the bride's "getting ready" spot. This might be a hotel, private house, or at the venue itself, depending on what you've arranged – I'll go wherever I need to, and we'll have worked out a photography timeline in advance based on your arrangements for the day.

During preparations, I'll take detail shots of all the things you've prepared and thought about for your special day. For grooms, this is usually things like cufflinks, ties, buttonholes, watches and gifts – all the accessories. And for brides, it's thinking like your dress, shoes, flowers, and jewellery. It could also be your invitations, special memories and mementos from loved ones, that kind of thing.

Then it's time to get ready – for grooms, that means ties, jackets, and buttonholes, and maybe a celebratory drink for good luck (and maybe to steady the nerves;) ).

For our brides, it's time to put that beautiful dress on – your bridesmaids will help you out with that. And they'll help with shoes, your jewellery, anything else that you need to be ready for your big moment.

And for both brides and grooms, we will then have time for some portraits of you both, along with your bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Ceremony

Well, the ceremony kind of has a life of its own, which is perfect for a candid wedding photographer – you two won't even notice me, as you'll be too busy getting married! But I'll be there to capture some pre-ceremony shots as guests arrive, the bride as she makes her entrance and all the special moment that make up the wedding ceremony. Formalities might include:

  • Exchanging rings.
  • Some vows.
  • Signing the register, and of course.
  • The all-important first kiss. 

Then, when you're declared to be married, it's really special to spend a few minutes being congratulated by your family and friends.

 Portraits

If you'd like to do a big group shot, now is the time to do it, while we have everyone together, and then while I have everyone's attention, I'll ask some people to say behind for formal portraits – we'll have a chat in advance of the day to talk about who you'd like to include in those.

Then usually – but not always! – it's time to go and get your bridal shots done. Some with your whole bridal party together – including and special little ones and kids who've helped you out – and of course those shots of just the two of you together.

For your bridal photography, we can either stay on site (if that's part of the reason you chose the venue), or we can go to one or more locations – give me a call or email me an enquiry, and we can have a chat about your thoughts on how that might work.

Reception – Candid Wedding Photographer

It's party time! And that means you are celebrating with your loved ones together for the first time as a married couple. Whether it's a full-on formal reception with hundreds of guests or a backyard celebration with a few of your besties, I'll be there to capture those special moments, formal and informal. Wedding photography Melbourne formalities are often things like a first dance, speeches, and cutting the cake. Later on, you might do a traditional bouquet toss and say thanks to your guests before waving goodbye – plenty for a candid wedding photographer to capture.

Either way, if you've booked me to cover the full day, that's exactly what it means. I'm not someone who will ask you to do a fake first dance or mock cake cutting – my full day coverage includes up until the end of the reception or 11 pm (and if that doesn't fit in with your plans, let me know, and we can customise a package to cover exactly what you're after).

I'm Vesna, and thanks for dropping by. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Keilor East in Melbourne. 

Being a female photographer, there are many advantages, and I don't let them pass by. I will be your hairdresser, tailor or waitress if that will create a better day and experience for you.

As one of a few female wedding photographers in Melbourne, with my attention to detail and energetic personality, along with the stunning images, I am now complimented as one of Melbourne's finest female photographers.

Besides my spunky husband and my adorable kids, photography is my biggest love. I have been in the industry for over a decade, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I feel a little spoilt to call this my job.

I love everything about photography, from the initial meeting to the final presentation of the images. The smiles and tears of happiness when you see your images is my biggest reward, knowing that I created an eternal memory.

Also, I love coffee and a chat, so feels free to get in touch with me.

You've Found Your Dream Team

With over 700 weddings covered, rest assured that you've found the right people to look after you on your big day.

Our approach to capturing a wedding is simple: tell it the way it happened. We're not in the business of creating the moments - we don't need to. We leave that up to you. What we will do is make sure we're there to capture every emotion, every hug, every tear - the whole lot.

We get to know everyone on the day and make sure they're comfortable with us so that we can blend in. Making sure we aren't a couple of strangers is the secret sauce for walking away with amazing photos + films. Often you won't even notice that we're shooting.

It's that easy.

Real Weddings

Weddings are made up of thousands of little moments, with no two days ever being the same.

Our style of storytelling is best viewed as a full collection of those moments.

The day passes in such a whirlwind. Moments forgot little things missing. I often get brides and grooms message me saying, 'I didn't even know that happened! Thank you for capturing it!'... because that's what I do! I make sure all the moments are there, forever for you to see. 

You can either choose from one of our carefully put together packages or make your day even more magical by adding exactly what you want, and together we can design you a custom package.

Heart-warming wedding photographs

We like to think of ourselves as the polar opposite to that cheesy traditional photographer that you've seen at your mate's wedding. The list of awkward poses to get through, the forced smiles, and the * staged* moments. Ughh!

We photograph people rather than poses. We immerse ourselves into your wedding, mingling with your guests, capturing the real atmosphere and emotion felt on the day.

The giggles, the belly-laughs, the chemistry between two amazing humans, the pride in your dad's eyes, the random stuff-ups, the feelings of overwhelming joy, grandma's cute reaction, and all the happy tears.

From your sister, lace up your dress beforehand to slamming shots with your uni friends and tearing up the d-floor at night. We're ready to tell your story.

How it works – Your experience

Your wedding should be an all-day, crazy-awesome party, celebrating the love you have for each other.

It's such an important day in your lives, and we know you want to have a heap of fun yet still feel relaxed & comfortable, supported by an awesome crew that you trust whole-heartedly.

And the last thing you want is to be led through a list of scripted poses and feeling awkward in front of the camera on the day, or worse, receive back photos that leave you feeling like they're "not you".

We're here to help couples have an amazing, stress-free wedding day & photography experience by ditching the posing & cringey stuff and focusing instead on who you guys are as a couple and the chemistry between you, plus all those rad little moments you'll share with your family & friends throughout the best day of your lives so far.

From getting ready to get your dance on

It starts with full-day wedding photography coverage from both of us – Glen and Fiona.

We want to document your wedding day for you in a genuine & honest way. By that, we mean we'll photograph the day just as it unfolds organically. Nothing rushed or staged (but we do give a little direction anytime it's needed, so no-one's feeling awkward or lost).

And no wedding day is done & dusted inside 3 or 4 hours – there's so much of the story of your wedding day that happens outside of that – so we're usually around for 8 or more hours, really getting our hands dirty.

There's always some fun stuff happening during the "getting ready" part of the day, so we love to be around for the last bits of that. Plus, it means you get to warm up by having us and our cameras around, and it just helps to set a nice relaxed tone for the day.

Wedding ceremonies that matter

Getting married is pretty awesome – take it from us – and at the centre of all that is your wedding ceremony. We probably emphasise photographing the ceremony to the next level than other photographers because we believe it's such an awesome, important part of the day.

We don't interrupt or pause anything, we simply document it all as it happens, and it's happening for you and your guests first and foremost, so we don't get in the way of that. There won't be any staging of certificate signings or repeating the first kiss for the cameras; that's lame.

We'll photograph your wedding ceremony with a guests point of view in mind, giving your photos an immersive feel.

#weddingfeels

Our goal is not only to create beautiful photographs for you but also to capture all those emotions and feelings you get throughout the day.

We want your photographs to act as a time machine so that whenever you look back on them, you're instantly transported back to how you felt at that moment.

Moments over poses

We just love photographing people rather than poses.

We're pretty ace at getting our couples relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, evoking natural emotions, and within minutes you've forgotten the cameras are even there.

We love to create portraits that are genuine to who you guys are. We're far more interested in you both and your connection to each other, over the locations we're shooting at or all the fancy little details. Those things are awesome too, but what you guys have together is a far more interesting story to tell.

Candid photos of your family & friends

Your wedding is essentially a massive party surrounded by your loved ones, and we want to capture them too. We love to blend in as guests while we're taking photos.

You'll find us taking candids of people laughing and catching up for the first time in ages or hustling together groups of friends for a portrait.

And we'll definitely be on-hand to capture everyone cutting shapes tearing up the dance floor.

A team to capture the day

You'll get both of us – Glen & Fiona – on the day.

You don't exactly get two photographers taking photos non-stop all day (that would be too much) but rather a team that documents the day the best way possible.

There are parts of the day when we're both taking photos, like the ceremony, where we're getting different angles for you. Then there are the parts of the day when we get the best results from just one of us pointing a camera, and the other assisting with gear/flashes/reflectors/holding bouquets/making bad jokes – and all that fun stuff.

 

Let's get down to business: Pricing!

Our full-day wedding photography options start at $3800 for coverage of your wedding day by the two of us – Glen, your photographer, and Fiona, second shooter & assistant.

Our Monday to Thursday elopements and mini weddings start at $900.

From there, we can customise your Wedding Photography experience with additions such as a gorgeous Leather-bound Album or an Engagement Session. More about those further down this page.

Are you looking for timeless wedding photos with a fun twist? I am a Melbourne based wedding photographer who will never deliver an album full of posed, stiff grins.

I dig deep with 'my couples' to get to know you both and capture the honest essence of what your wedding day means to you and your tribe. Think of yourselves in a little wedding boat, and I am the slow-flowing river! I will capture your big day just how you envisioned it and bring all the best moments to life.

Remember, getting married is a big deal! I whole-heartedly believe investing in a professional photographer will be the best money you spend. I pride myself in giving lovers a safe, comfortable and light-hearted space where they can be their unapologetic selves. You won't have to pose awkwardly in front of a stranger because, by the time your wedding comes around, we're buddies. You both deserve to feel incredible and have some fun while you're at it! If you allow me, it would be my privilege.

Your Wedding Lasts A Day, Your Photos A Lifetime.

We all love pretty pictures, but your wedding photography is so much more than a nice sunset photo; it's about documenting the celebration of another milestone surrounded by all the people you love.

There is no greater feeling than seeing pictures of the moments you might have missed. This could be your dad's teary eyes as you were saying your vows or your grandma lighting up the dancefloor. Having the peace of mind that these moments are being recorded while you have one of the best days of your life is priceless.

Images are portals that take you back in time, and they will be the source of many happy memories to cherish and look back to for years to come. Your wedding photography will be one of your best investments.

Thanks so much for stopping by my website; I'm stoked that I'd even be considered to be a part of your day.

Wedding photography has been my full-time job for over 5 years now, and it still blows my mind that I've managed to turn something that I genuinely love into a living.

Every wedding I photograph, I'm there to immerse myself in the day and become a part of it.

I want to be there to capture all those amazing moments, exactly as they are, and unfold, organically: 

  • The exciting moments.
  • The fun moments.
  • The emotional moments.
  • The loud moments.
  • The quiet moments.
  • The in-between moments.
  • The moments you wouldn't have expected to happen.
  • The 'must have' moments.

And of course, you're going to want some kick-arse couple portraits amongst the mix too. But I don't think we need to leave this, your party for hours on end, to get something sweet & real, like this. My number one priority is that you remember exactly how you felt on the day when you look at your wedding photos. 

And after the day is all done and dusted, it's always rad to have something that you can hang on your wall forever. Or print in a beautiful album. I do also take 'those' family photos. I know your mum is going to want them, even if you don't.

For the most part, my upbringing entailed a nomadic existence with my family. This consisted of makeshift homes made from the back of cars, tents, buses and anything in between. Although this upbringing wasn't ideal in many ways, this non-material existence and tight perimeters with my family taught me what I consider to be most important in life. The love I share with my family, friends, and wife makes this life beautiful and is what I treasure most in the world.

This belief may be part of the reason I have such a passion for photographing weddings. This day is such an important part of peoples life. It is a rare opportunity to communally celebrate love, together with your partner and all the special people that you have invited to be part of this day.

Free the Bird is a business purely driven by passion. Before starting to Free the Bird, I had a great paying job, a beautiful house and a nice car. It was all I could have dreamt of, but there was one thing missing, and that was passion. It's hard to live happily without this vital ingredient, so (with the push of my wife) I put everything on the line, and I started following my dreams. This was the beginning of Free the Bird.

Three years later, I am still here, as passionate about photography as the day I started. I still get nervous with excitement before every wedding day, and I still excitedly show Leelou all my favourite photos the next day. This is how I know I am still on the right path in life. The day the excitement goes away, and I stop pushing my photos to be better then the last, it is the day I put down my camera. Every couple deserves to have a photographer at their wedding that strives to do their very best every time they pick up their camera.

Free the Bird's core values are simple. We create an experience to feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after from day one. We understand a wedding day can be a big venture for most people, so we make sure we eliminate any stress and keep everything we do very transparent. Our clients' commitment is to deliver work at the highest quality that will last to be enjoyed by future generations.

This Is How We Do It

We enjoy weddings.

That's right. That also means we sincerely love what we do. We get the opportunity to see both bride and groom (bride and bride, or groom and groom) transform from an everyday couple into angelic/handsome/really-really-good-looking super beings in the span of one morning. Witness an often teary declaration of love and hang out with some pretty loved-up babes (refer to the previous sentence) in the afternoon. And spend the evening in celebration dancing the night away.

Depending on where you are getting married, we will generally start a week early. One of our favourite parts of a wedding is the location shoot. So we visit the ceremony and reception areas in advance to source out the best backdrops, light and creative influence we can find for your location shoot.

Your Wedding Day

We begin our day taking preparation photos of both bride and groom (both Steve + Keshia will be there – no, your eyes are not playing black magic trickery on you, you get TWO photographers for the ENTIRE day). We will flit between the two locations of preparation, getting all the photos possible. Our last visit is generally to the bride before we boot-leg it to the ceremony area.

We then turn into fairly convincing stealth paparazzi, capturing all the laughs, tears, and general abundance of emotion (or not, if you're not that kind of human, we don't judge) that occurs during the ceremony.

Post ceremony, Keshia turns into your average fashion shoot stylist, while Steve becomes a director and many gorgeous photos are taken.

Because we like to finish everything we start, we're going to stick around for your reception. And there we will stay, until your guests – and you yourself – are boozey eyed enough that Photoshop becomes void.

Every day we capture includes a USB with 500-600 skillfully enhanced images and a pretty accurate account of the day presented in a musical slideshow.

Almost every wedding we shoot is unique and often has a completely different run sheet from the one described above. That's cool. We're flexible, and we'll work with you to capture memories.

All Day Wedding Coverage with 2 Photographers starts from $3500

This includes all of the above. For more information, please contact us, we would love to have a chat with you about your unique day, and how awesome/magnificent/spectacular it's going to be!

Ps, our second love is travel… we will go anywhere and everywhere. Seriously. 

 

How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Cost?

Wedding photography prices vary from $1,000 to $10,000 or higher in the U.S., but Millay says the average for a Midwest photographer is between $3,000 to $4,000. In New York, Brooklyn photographer Susan Stripling says prices range between $2,500 and $5,000. California isn't much different; West Coast photographer Zoe Larkin says Bay Area prices are between $3,000 to $4,700 on average.

While wedding photography styles vary—some photographers lean toward bright and airy images while others prefer dramatic or documentary-style images—styles don't usually affect prices. Costs are based more so on experience and demand, but a higher figure doesn't necessarily mean better photos. "The price point doesn't always dictate how good a photographer is," Millay says. "A lot of times, the price is based on experience, as most photographers raise their prices annually." So what does a photographer with, say, eight years of experience cost? 

For Millay, who started shooting professionally in 2012, the starting price is $4,250.

Wedding photographer prices can vary depending on many factors, including your wedding's location (photographers in big cities tend to cost more than in other areas), the type of services and packages you're looking for, and your chosen photographer's experience and level of expertise. In general, wedding photographer prices in the U.S. tend to range between $1,150 and $3,000, with the average wedding photographer cost hovering around $2,000.

What's covered in a wedding photographer's prices?

When researching wedding photographers, be sure to read the information about their pricing and packages carefully—these tend to differ widely from photographer to photographer and can greatly affect wedding photography pricing. A few items and services to look for include:

  • Time: Wedding photographer prices typically include between six hours and an unlimited amount of coverage. The more time you'd like your photographer to cover your event, the more you'll have to pay. Additional hours will cost extra.
  • Travel: Does your photographer have to travel a long distance to your event? You may have to pay a per-mile charge if he or she is driving to your wedding, or you might have to pay for airfare and accommodations for a destination wedding.
  • Second Shooters/Staffing: Will, your photographer, have a second shooter or assistants present? If so, expect to shell out more.
  • Editing: A large part of your photographer's time will be spent editing and retouching your wedding photos to make sure they look absolutely amazing.
  • Images: Your wedding photographer's cost should include the actual images. Digital files can be provided to you in a variety of ways, including in an online gallery and via a USB drive.
  • Print release: Many wedding photography packages include a "print release," which means that you can use the photos for your own personal use. However, be aware that you will likely not have a full "copyright release," so you don't own the photos and can't sell them, and that your photographer can use your photos for marketing purposes.
  • Prints: Some photographers include photo prints (or a print credit—money you can put toward purchasing prints) in their wedding photography rates. While you don't have to purchase your prints through your photographer, they'll likely come out better if you do.
  • Albums: Your photographer may offer a wedding album as part of his or her package. You can choose whether you'd like to design and purchase your album through your photographer or do it through another service.
  • Additional shoots: Some photographers include an engagement shoot in their package (62 per cent of couples do a pre-wedding engagement shoot). Other shoots that will likely cost extra include bridal portraits, trash the dress sessions, or coverage of your rehearsal dinner.

Other less obvious parts of a wedding photographer's business that may be included in their package pricing include equipment, employees, business expenses, marketing, liability insurance, and more.
