What booking a photographer here actually looks like

Do you cover Daylesford & Macedon Ranges and the surrounding area?

When should we book a photographer for a Daylesford & Macedon Ranges wedding?

Aim to have your photographer locked in well before march–may and october–november of your wedding year — that's the local peak and the first period to sell out. If you're closer than that, send the brief anyway; availability is the first thing we check.

How many photographers will contact us?

Four at most, all of them available on your date and working in Daylesford & Macedon Ranges. You compare them side by side in your wedding portal and choose one — the rest are told straight away.

Is it free for couples in Daylesford & Macedon Ranges?

Always. Vendors pay to reach briefs that match what they do; you never pay us anything, and there's no obligation to book anyone you hear from.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Australia?

Most full-day packages run between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on hours, experience and whether a second shooter is included. Anything far below that usually means limited coverage or a very new shooter.

How many photographers should we meet?

Three or four is plenty. Beyond that the choice gets harder, not better — which is exactly why we cap each shortlist at four.
