Stylish, Award-Winning Melbourne Wedding Photographer

As a soon to be wedded couple, we know that this is only the first of many questions you’re likely to already have on your mind.

We didn’t become award-winning photographers in Melbourne simply by just shooting every couple that comes our way in the exact same style and manner. We understand innately as well as intimately just how different, special and unique each wedding ceremony is.

This is why we never adopt a one size fits all method of approach when handling the photography aspects of your wedding.

While there are certainly a wide variety of wedding photography styles to choose from, a lot more goes into capturing your big day than just posing in front of the camera.

For your wedding pictures to turn out just the way you dreamed them to be, you need to first find a Melbourne photographer that you actually connect with. This aspect of your wedding is especially important because no matter how skilled the photographer is, if you aren’t in sync with their personality, you might discover that you won’t find the results of their work very satisfactory.

One reason we are regarded as one of the best photographers in Melbourne is the method of approach we employ when solving this particular concern.

With us, photography isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling, and we let you feel this impact in the manner in which we communicate with you from the first moment you walk through our doors.

We go out of our way to make sure that we build a relationship that works with the couples we’ll be shooting. Before delving into the photography specifics of your big day, we first conclusively ensure that we understand you and that our personalities blend seamlessly.

Your wedding photos simply glow when you’re comfortable in the presence of your wedding photographer. As such, we aim to build that sense of ease from the very beginning with you.

So you’ve finally decided to take that final leap of faith with your special someone. We say a big “Congratulations” to you!

We’re pretty sure that since the time you made your decision, you’ve had to start making some major arrangements as regards your wedding day.

In addition to preparing your guest list, where everyone will be seated or standing that day to how delightful you want the cake to look, the list is quite literally endless.

We’re really sorry you have to go through so much stress, however, that’s the way these things usually turn out to be.

One other major concern you have to see is finding the right wedding photographer packages and locations for you.

Even when you have a certified and experienced wedding planner on the job, this is one of those things that you just have to deal with all by yourself.

Of course, there are always quick shortcuts you could take to handle this concern. You could pick something straight off platforms like Pinterest or take out a theme exactly as it appears in any of the many bridal magazines available out there today.

As you can imagine, the results this will get you for your big day will be flawed, at best. For this reason, we always strongly encourage couples who will be walking down the aisle to do their due diligence when setting the scene for their pre-wedding photography and the big day, eventually.

So whenever you are wondering how far ahead you should book a photographer for your wedding, the best answer you can get is nothing less than 9 to 10 months ahead, at least.

We know you’re probably asking why?

The answer to this is that this set time frame gives you and your partner all the necessary time you need to make the right decisions for your wedding.

In that span of time, you would have been able to sort through the little details like your wedding location, your preferred theme color for the occasion and most importantly, the timeline you will be following for the occasion.

These little details are essential to us because it is what lets us determine if a photographer studio would be needed and the level to which it will be used.

It also helps us plan the shooting session of the entire day so you can get all the photos that you want with the most important people to you, especially if these friends and family members are coming from out of town.

Even more importantly, it is the most crucial determinant of the wedding photography style you will be using. With a well-prepared time frame, you could even get a casual, natural and creative wedding all for your event!

What is this? And, why should you seriously consider having this type of session?

Well, we certainly think so!

To start with, a pre-wedding photography session is usually any short shooting session you take with us within 3 months to six months before your wedding takes place.

There’s a big reason we so strongly advocate that our couples take photography sessions. We encourage this practice because of the indirect impact that it has on the shooting on your big day.

When you take this session, some benefits of doing so include the fact that it helps make you more familiar and comfortable with the feeling of being in front of a lens. An added advantage is also the fact that this helps us to know you, your presence and effect as your photography team. Of course, having a few lovely, romantic pictures of you and your significant other before your wedding day is also an excellent bonus.

You can also refer to it as an engagement or pre-shoot photo session.

Having a pre-shoot can do you a lot of good. Being an award-winning wedding photography team, we offer many of our clients this amazing program as part of our package because it helps us with better identifying what your wedding photography style will be when the time finally arrives.

There’s no doubt that this is one of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make, where your wedding is concerned.

We recommend you follow a set sequence of steps to lead you to the right photography team for your special day. It’s a relatively easy and uncomplicated process.

• Pick Your Style

Rather than going straight out there to look for a photographer, take a little time to research and find the best wedding photographer Melbourne for you. When you’ve picked between options like candid wedding photographer, casual wedding photographer, creative wedding photographer or full natural wedding photographer, you can then go in search of a team that does that best.

Through this, you are able to more accurately narrow your options to those who can capably serve you on that special day.

• Talk To Them

Now that you have a shorter list, the next thing we strongly advise that couples seeking photographers do is to meet the prospective teams one on one to get a feel of their vibe and if they are the right person for the role.

• Check Out Samples of Their Work

Let them pull up a few albums showcasing the work they do and see if it is as good as they claim. Don’t be shy to be open with your thoughts and opinions because wedding days don’t come around every other day.

• Comparison-shop For the Best Package

It’s your big day, there’s no denying that simple fact. As such, you would want to go all out. But as some of the very best at what we do, we can confidently tell you that high prices don’t necessarily translate to high quality.

More to the point, you don’t always have to pay copious amounts of money just to get the best deals for your wedding day photography. Take the time to look through the few Melbourne photographers on your shortlist and see who offers more value for money.

No matter what you’ll be paying for your session, one question that you’re likely to think about is how many pictures you can expect your wedding photographer to turn out at the end of the day.

The first thing you need to know here is that several factors come into play, in terms of accurately answering this question. Some of the many things to put into careful consideration include, how long your wedding goes on for (the longer it lasts, the more photos you can expect) and more importantly, the number stipulated in your contract.

On average, we take nearly five thousand (5, 000) pictures for weddings that last for about 8 hours or more! Naturally, we know it would be silly to send you all 5, 000 photos. You probably won’t know what to do with it.

For that reason, we carefully thin the herd. When we reduce it to only the best and finest pictures, we do either of two things, depending completely on your convenience.

We either upload those images to a fully secure and passworded website where you can look through them and pick your favorites, or we invite you to our physical location so you can look through and pick the ones you like.

However, regardless of which option or package you choose with us, you can rest assured you’ll be going home with nothing less than 350 to 450 pictures of your wedding.

You need a Melbourne wedding photographer because your special day deserves to be immortalized and remembered perfectly the way it happened.

At the threshold of big moments in your life, memories are indispensable. And as the saying goes, one picture is worth a thousand words.

More so, think about this; most of the other aspects of your wedding you spend so much time preparing won’t last forever. The beautiful flowers in bloom will lose that shine and the sweeter your wedding cake is, the faster it will disappear.

Also, most people usually won’t hold on to your wedding invite once the show is over. But guess what becomes only more important as time passes?

Those wedding photos!

That is why you need Dezine By Mauro in your corner on your big day. We’ll walk with you every single step of the way to capture the very essence of each moment for you!
