OVERVIEW

As a Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer, meeting couples who are deeply in love and openly show it with authenticity and honesty is a great delight for me.

Deep smiles and the sparks of passion set amongst the stunning backdrops of locations around the Sunshine Coast make for radiant images.
This is what drives me to photograph weddings!


I also want to let you know that, even though I live on the Sunshine Coast, I do travel and photograph all over Australia.


I am there to be a friend as well and am always thrilled to be part of your day.

I look forward to be speaking with you soon.

About

I’m a full-time professional,  award winning photographer based on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. I worship life in the great outdoors and every moment I spend with my sweetheart Caitlin and my beloved  doggies Roxy, Leeshe and Mac! Together we are one intrepid bunch who adore the sun, surf and sand. Life here is awesome! I absolutely love photographing down to earth individuals who are genuinely infatuated with each other. I am all about real people and real emotion.  I capture those m

FAQ

I provide all of your edited images within 2-4 weeks. Sometimes (depending on my current workload) they may even be ready earlier. Read what brides write about my turnaround times.  I cannot begin to tell you about some of the horror stories that I’ve heard about other photographers taking months after months to get your precious moments to you then there are some who have… simply lost your images or just went out of business. Sad but true. This has never happened under my watch nor will it ever happen with me because I back up all your images in 4 different places.

Over the years I have developed a knack for making everyone feel comfortable around me. This comes from being a sincere and genuinely fun person. Because of this my work always appears natural and full of joy for all my couples. I use a variety of little tricks to I’ve developed during my long experience to make sure everyone comes out looking like they have had the best day of their lives. I’ve developed a kind of insight that allows me to find the optimum locations in any given situation. This ability gives couples some space to be themselves and allows the love they feel for each other to come shining through.

Every wedding like every couple is unique each brings its own challenges and opportunities to capture the spectrum of human emotion. Each one has its own demands and its moments of effortlessness.  Every wedding is a live event with many aspects totally out of anyone’s control especially the weather! Any given venue contributes greatly to the ease or difficulty of capturing momentous images. With that said adaptability has been the key to my success (and come prepared for anything). As a lover of light my vision is sensitively tuned to use it and create magic images. Whether the day is bright and sunny or full of dramatic clouds filled with rain each can be used to my advantage. However first and foremost I am there for the couple, to make them happy with full respect for them and their guests. I adore taking those gorgeous candid shots, capturing fleeting moments full of enchantment.

The most important advice I give is to number one, fully enjoy your wedding day with your beloved, your family, friends, and guests. Leave the rest to me and I will capture every moment for you. I will also send you (in advance) additional emails with further advice on what types of rooms in which to prepare for the day, appropriate backgrounds and above all natural light. You have no doubt put in a lot of time planning all the details of your monumental wedding day and my brief is also to capture and preserve all the effort you have put into this. I like to get all the precious little details and the surprise instants often missed by others.

As odd as it may seem, I started out as an electrician during the week and a lifeguard on weekends. I enjoyed shooting motocross enthusiasts and their extreme stunts for fun but I also wanted to make sport filming a job too. One day a wedding photographer who I didn't know found my number on a CD and loved my motorbike video. He said come and film a wedding for my business as you have a great eye for filming. I was asked to bring my camera skills to shoot a wedding. It was the first time I went to a wedding in my life and I was filming it. It changed my life. The results so wow-ed my them that they recommended me to others and suddenly discovered something that I truly loved to do. In essence, I found my dream job one that not only makes me extremely happy but all the couples I have worked with as well. In short, I am a genuine people person. I love being around joyful people and what better way to do so than at weddings. I sincerely love capturing wonderful memories for couples and the creative challenges that it presents.

I would call it a documentary style like that of an impartial observer, very raw and with a candid feel. However, I always do this with a touch of glamour and I make sure to catch that sparkle in your eyes!  Your deep emotion will come through with a genuine and natural joy. This is what separates me from most photographers, it is not just the images themselves, but the energy that I bring to your wedding day and my willingness to provide a peak experience for you. This translates into breathtaking photography and a wonderful adventure for you on the greatest day of your lives.

What an absolute legend this guy is! From looking on Instagram to find a photographer in another state, I stumbled across Luke's profile. Luke goes above and beyond and is worth every cent. From the Zoom meetings pre wedding, to the myriad of information he sends, this guy has you covered. Luke is very warm and welcoming, easy to talk to and made the whole day fun and relaxed , he played such a special part on the day beyond being our photographer. There is no value that you can out on what Luke gives, the gorgeous photos he takes is just part of the overall package. You really cannot go past this guy, he is a photographer you will not regret booking!

Luke is best at what he does. Leading up to the wedding, he has clear and constant communication. Luke was full helpful hints and ideas that helped with our wedding. During the actual wedding, Luke's relaxed and energetic nature was so good to work with. He knew how to best work with us and how to help us achieve the wedding vision we were after. We got sneak peaks the next day, which were absolutely incredible. We love every single one of them. He is worth every dollar and you will love working with him on your special day.

What is an appropriate budget for a photographer?!

I want the beautiful photos and my H2B wants the long coverage and we just can't seem to find the 'perfect' fit within our budget, we have set aside $3000 for photography AND videography and i am beginning to feel like this is not enough for what we want... Most photographers I have inquired too cost from $2500+. Is it possible to find a photographer that will meet both our needs within our price range, or is it too low? Any experience with how to handle this would be much appreciated.

Luke Middlemiss Photography

Hello Alexandra, 

The short answer can come down to this. Spend 15% or more from your total budget on your wedding photographer. 

If your wedding is going to costs $40,000 then a great rule of thumb is to spend $6,000 on your photographer.
