How lucky we are to work with the kindest of souls

How lucky we are to work with the kindest of souls! We first met Sophia and Andy when celebrating their beautiful engagement back in 2023.

Since then we've stayed close, and talked through the planning process with them both. The goal was always a beautiful, classic winter wedding, with plenty of time together and with their families.

The longer we do this work, the more we realize it’s not just about the photos (though we’ll never say no to a timeless portrait). It’s about presence. It’s about slowing down, gently guiding our couples to really feel the moments, not just pose for them. Letting those in front of our cameras linger just a little longer.

Less rushing through a shotlist, more real moments.

S + A, thank you, and thank you to your wonderful families, for welcoming us in with such open hearts. We hope these images continue to bring you back to that perfect winter day, again and again.

Sharing a little more magic from this beautiful da

Sharing a little more magic from this beautiful day with L+A at the stunning @immerseyv .

Our favourite way to shoot is with storytelling in mind- our favourite moments are often those that happen in motion.

Although we're very fond of a strong static shot, or classic mantelpiece moment, we're happiest when we're capturing you as you manouuvre through your day, hand in hand with your other half.

The best part about it all is that you won't feel like a prop in you're own story, rather, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience and do things that you love!

A whole bunch of film has just been processed from

A whole bunch of film has just been processed from the last couple of months and we are SO excited to start going through them all!

In the meantime, we thought we'd share some from the archives!

Matt and Liam had the most beautifully curated day, every little detail was thought of. It was so amazing to help these two celebrate at the beautiful @warrawongestate !

Here's a handful of point and shoot moments from the day, shot as a second while working with our fave @hayleyhickmanphotography 🫶

If you're interested in having film photos on your wedding day we have an obscene collection of film cameras at Packing Light HQ. From point and shoots and Polaroids, to medium format magic ✨

We're obsessed with the true to life nature of film, both in colours and the moments it depicts. Capturing tiny particles of light and having them interact with light sensitive silver halide crystals... Sounds pretty magical to us 😍

Shot on Leica Z2X, Portra 400 🎞️

Got any questions about adding film to your day?

A little glimpse into The Immanuel's magical day o

A little glimpse into The Immanuel's magical day on Sunday- a few favorites in no particular order.

After meeting Peter on a clifftop a million miles away from anywhere, and helping convince his lovely girlfriend Jess that we were a 'Landscape Photographer from Tasmania ™️', then the capturing the cutest proposal ever, to this incredible day approx 73 weeks later. Whattttt a journey!

We're absolutely honoured to follow along with our couples from early days until the big day- it's something that we truly appreciate and value so, so much.

We're big on getting to know our people and what matters most to them. It's definitely a little different from the norm, but we'd rather not be strangers on such an important day in your story.

We've had the pleasure of adventuring with these two (and discovering Peter's love of a good tree), location scouting (with Jess carrying their spoilt but deserving child Minnie along the whole way in a shoulder bag), late night and early morning runsheet planning, to venue scouting and getting an early preview to their incredible first dance a few days before the big day.

We knew that time together, and time with family was oh so important to these two, and we are acutely aware of the impact photography can have on your day. We hope we can help you to be present when it counts, and give you the memories of moments that happened when you were swept up in the magic of it all.

Thanks for trusting us Peter and Jess, we can't wait to see where your journey takes you ❤️✨

Some favourites in colour from Mazz and Anthony's

Some favourites in colour from Mazz and Anthony's absolute riot of a party!

A lesson in crafting a day filled with things you'll actually enjoy doing ✨

When chatting with these two gems we knew the day would be focussed on good times with their mates and fam', time together in the hotel before the event kicked off, champagne and dancing.

We'll always come back to this, but:

Good times = nice photos. It's a simple but often overlooked equation.

Also we never worked it out, but it also involved one of those trolleys you put luggage on. What are those even called? Any hot tips?

A little window into the most beautiful day with o

A little window into the most beautiful day with our friends Sam and Sean, who crafted a relaxed, intimate day at @montdusoleil .

The day was focussed around a cosy sunlit ceremony overlooking the property, with just their VIPs, followed by champagne, cake and some portraits in the beautiful mansion.

We joined them for pizza and cocktails in town, and then headed back to the property to cruise around on their vintage bike, watching the moon rise on the balcony.

Honestly! Such a dreamy day! With a big ol' party the following week, we think this is the way to do it!

P.s best part about our work is making new pals who are much, much cooler than we are!
