Joseph did a fantastic job photographing our school’s graduation ceremonies. It was a complex job due to the nature of the COVID-safe ceremonies, and he was appropriately organised and professional. High quality work and good post-production services too. Thanks Joseph!

What does event photographers service include?

Your event photographer will arrange all the details of the day with you prior to your session, making sure they have the correct lenses, tripods, and other equipment on hand to suit the location, lighting, and crowd. At the event, they’ll take both posed and candid photos of the guests - as well as photos of the setting, decorations, and food. That way, you’ll have a range of different pictures of the special occasion.

Here’s what you can expect from the most common event photography services:

Wedding photography

Your wedding photographer may be hired for the entire day, or just parts of the wedding, like the ceremony, reception, and bridal party photos. Your photographer will guide you through your professional shots so that the end products include a range of different moments that are candid and capture the happy couple in their element. Once the photos have been edited, your photographer will send you high-resolution digital copies and talk you through your printing options, too.

Graduation and formal photography

You can hire a photographer for graduation or formal photos - either individual or group photos before the event, or photography during the event. Beforehand, they’ll organise everything they need to bring, asking you questions about the location, photo ideas, and venue. If you need a green screen or other backdrops, your photographer will be able to organise this or help you find one to hire. Your photographer will arrive before the event attendees so that shots are captured of them entering the room. During the graduation or formal, both candid shots and posed shots will be taken so you end up with a variety of professional images. These will be edited and sent to you as digital copies, plus print copies if this is part of your package. 

Birthday photography

You can hire a professional birthday photographer so that you can relax during the event (and not worry about photos). At least a few days before the event, your photographer will speak to you about the venue to find out whether it’s indoors or outdoors, the time of day you’re throwing the party, and any special photo requests. During the event, they’ll capture key moments and details, like the party set up, birthday boy/girl, decorations, guests, games, gifts, and birthday cake. After the event, they’ll usually need a week or two to edit and finalise your images before sending you a copy.

Corporate event photography

Corporate events that require photography range from conferences and tradeshows to the office Christmas party. Your photographer will ask you the specifics about the event, so they know what to expect and can bring the best equipment for the job. Corporate event photography includes capturing images that showcase your branding, as well as any staff members, products, and services on display. These images will be perfect for your website, company blog, or social media. At the end of the event, your photographer will pack up all their equipment and head back to their studio to edit your images, before emailing a digital copy or posting them to you on a USB.

Hey, we are having a court based marriage at the Registry near Parliament from 10am to 10:30am on March 16th and are looking for a photographer to cover half of the day. We would like to have a few photos taken before a lunch and we are just having a family and friends (30 people) catchup lunch from 12-4pm at The Hof Downtown in Docklands. I don’t imagine you’d need to be there the whole time but you could join us and have food on us if you are 🙂 We have eloped overseas early this year, so it's just a local catchup lunch since some people missed out travelling to the ceremony. We had a photographer lined up but she has unfortunately cancelled and I’m here to repost the event. Please let me know if it’s something you might be interested in and what type of camera you have! - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 16 March 2024

Maddie was really great with her flexibility, availability, was on time and friendly! It loved being able to spend our wedding celebration with her friendly self, open to suggestions and capturing the moment! Maddie sent us soo many photos which we loved, rather than other photographers who pick their favourites and you never get to see the rest. We were very glad to have booked Maddie for her photography and recommend her to anyone reading!
