Have you ever compared our package and wondered why our packages seem to include less time than our competition?  Well, it's because our team have it down to a fine art, they shoot here every day and for this reason they know just about every location better than any other photographer could possibly know it.  And, they know from experience that no couple want to spend more time out in the sun and away from their guests than they have to, so with this in mind we ensure you spend as much time as is needed on photo tour but not a minute more.  This is purely and simply why you may think that our packages are light on for time, but they are simply as long as they need to be. Its all about you and your day!

PRICE

We know we're not the cheapest, we've never pretended to be, nor do we ever intend to be.  What we do say is we're the best and for us it's all about the service.  Running a business in a location as unique as Hamilton Island incurs unique expenses, which of course are incorporate into our packages.

We could easily provide cheaper packages by cutting corners, however as you've made the decision to come to such a visually spectacular location as Hamilton Island for your wedding, we believe the last thing you should be sacrificing is quality on your memories, we want them to last you a lifetime. 

We believe that you deserve access to the highest quality images, making the most of your locations and that is what we are committed to providing.

WE SHOW YOU THE LOT, NOT JUST THE BEST OF THE BEST

In our online gallery we have hundreds of weddings which we urge you to peruse.  These are not just the best images we've handpicked to display, these are complete sets of wedding images as they were supplied to past couples.  The proof is in the pudding and we are putting our pudding out there for everyone to try. 

We doubt there are many photographers around who will show you this level of transparency in their work, by simply allowing you to view even their last 10 complete weddings, let alone hundreds.

If there is anything you are not sure about, or anything you want to know about our photography products, please ask.  We believe we are the best and want to ensure you get the best possible result for your wedding.

The photo’s are majestic - just perfect.  We are really appreciative of your service and truly rave about you at every opportunity.  Thank you!
