Photographers

On your wedding day (or any other special occasion for that matter) you really want the person entrusted with capturing the day to be talented, fun to be around (because you are with them for a good few hours at least), easy to communicate with, able to work around you rather than getting in the way or spending too long setting up “candid” shots, able to control the masses and coordinate the ever elusive amazing group photo, know when “golden hour” is at the drop of a hat, calm, rational, did I say talented? The list goes on.

Never fear! I have worked with so many photographers that I am able to give you a nice and comprehensive list of those I think are tops. They check all the boxes in the above list and more. They may not be the cheapest, but a photographer can make or break your day – and your memories of it – so they need to be the best. So, without further ado my top picks for your happy snappers are, in no particular order…

Videographers

Video is a really overlooked and undervalued addition to your wedding day. The adrenalin and having to event organise can leave behind gaps in your memory that pictures can’t always fill. Seeing Nana crack up at the speeches or watching your little niece and nephews walk down the aisle again 10 years down the track is honestly priceless – and the videographers below are masters of their craft.

Venues

I have been to some AMAZING ceremony and reception venues in my time. These are some of my favourites so far! Click on the venue name to go straight to their website/facebook page.

farmland, beautiful old homesteads, gardens, getting out of the city (but not too far).

pubs, super low key vibes, staying in the city, something a bit different.

Florists

Ok folks, bear with me. I am OBSESSED with florists. Floristry just seems to go from strength to strength and it is SO EXCITING!!! So I am going to give you quite a few options to look at here. I genuinely, legitimately stand behind any and all of them.

For those concerned about your environmental impact, as far as I know everyone listed prioritise local growers, but it’s worth asking what their policy is regarding flower disposal post wedding. Also, flower wrapping stations are a thing for your reception – ask me about them!

Entertainment

Music. It’s important. It sets the scene and starts the party – from the moment the ceremony starts until the last person is left on your dance floor. Like all your wedding vendors, your musical entertainment needs to really get you, you know? Some of the people below might be able to do just that:

Lovely Words from Lovely People

Victoria did an amazing job from the second we met her. She is really easy going, lovely and professional. We explained we wanted a relaxed wedding with a bit of a personal touch and she gave us exactly that. It couldn’t have been more perfect! We had lots of comments from guests saying how fantastic she was. Thank you so much for making the whole process so easy and for making our wedding day so special!

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better celebrant – Victoria was so much fun to work with. She took the time to get to know us and exactly what we wanted out of our ceremony, and that really showed. We got the laid back, funny and sweet ceremony that we wanted. We’ve since had so many of our friends and family tell us how wonderful Victoria is and how it seemed like she had known us for years. We could not recommend Victoria more!

I can’t thank Victoria enough for helping create such a flawless, fun and inclusive ceremony that shone a spotlight on who we are and what we’re all about. It was truly the best part of our day! Every single guest told me how much they enjoyed being at a ceremony that was personal and inclusive – they really connected with what was said. Victoria’s ceremony style is a refreshing twist on standard proceedings. She’s a bloody legend.
