Simon was amazing! His photos of my birthday were the perfect mix of candid and staged, and my guests loved him too. He captured the sunset and Melbourne skyline beautifully. It was such a pleasure to have him capture such a special event. I will most definitely book Simon again!

What does event photographers service include?

Your event photographer will coordinate all pre-session details with you so they're fully equipped with the gear tailored to your venue, lighting, and crowd size.


They'll also include photos of the aesthetics and all other details to cover every aspect of your special occasion, guaranteeing a diverse collection of party pictures. If you're booking for the first time, here are the available event photography services:


  • Wedding Photography

Whether you need coverage for the entire day or just specific moments like the ceremony and reception, a wedding photographer expertly captures the beauty of your big day. They preserve your cherished memories through high-resolution photos you can look back on.


  • Indoor Concert Photography

A concert photographer takes stunning images reflecting the vibrant energy, intensity, and passion of live performances. Since they're pros at handling stage lighting and shadows, they can skillfully document iconic moments such as artist interactions and crowd excitement.


  • Music Festival Photography

Similar to concert photography, it's best to get experts who can snap the essence of music festivals. There's a wide range to cover, from main-stage events and attractions to hidden gems in the crowd. You can also elevate your festival memories with aerial shots through a drone photography service.


  • Graduation Ceremony and Celebration Documentation

Finishing school is a big milestone and demands quality graduation pictures. From capturing the emotion of receiving your diploma to candid shots of hugs and handshakes, a graduation photographer ensures you get breathtaking photos that encapsulate this momentous occasion.


  • Graduation Portraits

If you want formal graduation photos, you can opt for studio shots. With the perfect lighting, backdrop, and equipment for half-body or full-body portraits, a graduation photographer can commemorate the pride of your achievement.


  • Anniversary Party Photography

Another milestone occasion is anniversaries, and a party photographer can take care of capturing the love and joy of such events. Whether tin, pearl, or golden anniversary, hired Taskers preserve heartfelt moments, allowing you to reminisce and cherish your relationship journey.


  • Birthday and Themed Party Photography

Relax and enjoy your celebration while a party photographer films the fun. Your party pictures will cover all the details, from setup and decorating to cake cutting, dancing, and other festivities.


  • Corporate Event Photography

From conferences to holiday parties, an event photographer tailors an approach based on your requests. They can take photos highlighting your branding, staff, products, and services. These high-quality images will be perfect for your website, blog, or social media.


  • Photo Editing

Skilled photo editors can polish your pictures to perfection to achieve your desired aesthetic, colour scheme, and theme. When they're done, you'll receive copies for posting and sharing.

Actress for hire at a wedding event

$200

Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia

6th Jan 2026

Fiance and I are big fans of improv. Looking for a confident funny actress to pull of a silly prank at our wedding next week. Interact with the guests and make up fake stories "Groom and I went to college together, etc", and at the very end of the gig right before we do our wedding speech, come up and grab the mic and deliver a speech. A short congratulatory speech that eventually turns into a chaotic, "secret ex" monologue (something like, you wouldn't even know how to make crab cakes without me.) The bit ends when we ask someone to take the mic from you, and a clear reveal at the end that you were a hired actress. Total time is 2-3 minutes. Improv experience is a plus. You can check out hoora4soora on insta, she is an actress who did this at another wedding. We can do a prebrief for the plan so everyone feels comfortable. 1 hour tops for the whole thing. I'm not really sure how much to charge so feel free to send me your rates.
