The Experience: Lovers
Whether you are engaged, celebrating an anniversary, eagerly awaiting your little one’s arrival, wanting to take your wedding gear back out for another adventure, or after some epic "just because" couple's portraits, you deserve more than just pretty pictures. You deserve an experience you’ll never forget and photos that make you feel something. The soft warm touch of your fingers intertwining, the quick beating of your heart, the rush of the wind through your hair as you tangle up with your love. You deserve to laugh loudly, dance playfully, kiss deeply, embrace tightly and breathe each other in.
Your love is an adventure and we want to capture that for you: the real, the raw, the in-between moments of your story.
WHY DOES IT MATTER WHO CAPTURES OUR STORY?
Photography is so much more than clicking a button. To get those images that make you feel something, you need to be able to let down your guard and be vulnerable. It is so important to us that you choose someone you vibe with, someone you trust. This isn't just a routine car service or check-the-box ordeal. This is your epic love story we're talking about here. You deserve to feel unapologetically and authentically you, so that when you look back on your photos, you remember exactly how it felt to be wrapped up in each other. That's what it's all about.
We know that we’re not the photographers for everyone. You’ll love shooting with us if:
you ain’t afraid of getting a little messy
you can’t keep your hands off each other
you value connection over perfection
Notice there’s nothing about being a supermodel or confident in front of the camera. I can't tell you how many sessions have started with "We are so awkward in front of the camera!" and ended in "Wow, that was so fun and so much easier than we thought!" Don't worry - we've got you! We are there for you through it all, from location and outfit advice to gently guiding you through the session so you look and feel gooood. Your story is unique and that’s why we want to help you feel relaxed enough to share it in a way that has you written all over it. We invite you to come as you are and leave feeling uplifted, inspired, and even more head-over-heels in your own special love.
The Investment
Although money can’t buy happiness, it can definitely fund some pretty amazing experiences! Here’s the thing. We’re asking you to be open and vulnerable with us so we can capture the true essence of your relationship. We are also super open with you so know exactly what you’re getting into, including cost. The only time additional fees may apply is if you’re asking us to travel over an hour (one-way), shoot at a location you’re dying to explore that requires a paid photography permit, or if you’re after something that’s not listed here. In that case, get in touch and we’ll give you a quote. A 30% non-refundable retainer is required at time of booking to secure your session, with the remainder due before your adventure.
FAQ
Where can we hang and take photos?
We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country, and there are soo many incredible places to explore around Sydney and the South Coast! We have plenty of amazing spots to take you around the Sutherland Shire where we live, or you might like to choose somewhere meaningful for you and your love. Heck, if you want to go get ice cream and walk around your area, that’s cool with us. We are also 100% down with hanging out in your home and capturing those authentic, everyday moments that show a genuine glimpse into your lives.
What the heck do we wear?
We’re so glad you asked because your outfits actually play a major role in how your photos turn out! We want you to be comfortable and feel confident but there are also some guidelines that we like to send our clients to make sure that everything will look great on camera. There’s no need to stress - we are here to help you plan it all out! We also have a small collection of dresses available in our slowly but surely growing client wardrobe.
When and how do we receive our images?
We use an online gallery system to deliver your lovingly edited digital images approximately two weeks after your session, for you to download, print, share and keep forever!
Do you offer prints?
At this stage, we’re keeping things simply digital. When you download your images, you are free to print as many copies as you like, wherever and whenever you like. We can help you out if you want some recommendations on some quality printing labs!
How much do you retouch our photos?
Sariah is our chief image editor and she thinks you’re amazing just the way you are! That being said, she will generally lightly retouch anything temporary (e.g. acne, bruises, scrapes, etc.) in your final images, unless of course you ask us to leave it. We’re passionate about self-love and positive body image so we don’t alter face or body shapes and sizes.
We really want photos but we’re on a budget… How can you help?
We feel ya. We’ve been through newly-wed life and student life and the struggle is real. We are happy to work out a payment plan to help you budget it in.
