OVERVIEW

In Melbourne’s stunning Dandenong Ranges, Moon Honey is an all-in-one wedding photography and videography service that captures candid, tender moments in high resolution.

Whether they're shooting the exchanging of vows, tender kisses in front of a sunset or making the bridal party laugh for a group photo, highly experienced photographers James and Dana are professional and put their clients at ease. Many who’ve worked with the pair have commented that the duo makes themselves “invisible” while still providing helpful guidance, fitting in like part of the family.

Moon Honey offers couples numerous, flexible wedding packages— all-inclusive - this talented pair will capture your entire wedding. From sentimental ‘getting ready’ shots to the first kiss and the newlywed send-off, Dana and James won’t miss a moment - they’re there for the whole day so that you can remember every magical moment. You can expect beautiful, high-quality wedding photos that tell a romantic story.

"Words cannot describe how much of an incredible experience you made our wedding day ... I'm so grateful to have had you to capture it all and create beautiful photos and imagery that we all will cherish forever and that future generations of everyone involved will also cherish. The photos you have sent through are beautiful! Belinda looks so radiant and gorgeous! We're over the moon with the result." - Mark Iacobaccio

What makes Moon Honey an ideal choice for your Melbourne wedding:

  • They're story-focused. Moon Honey believes the key to powerful images is their story, including what they say about the people in them and their relationships. Dana and James' storytelling is central in their approach - they want you to be able to relive and appreciate your wedding for years to come.
  • Passion. Dana and James adore weddings and will share your love and excitement. “Producing videos and photographs for weddings is some of our most rewarding work. It’s about capturing a feeling. Those feelings are precious, and we work to make them accessible forever.”
  • Candid, relaxed photos. While we love an excellent old-staged family photo, you don’t necessarily want all your wedding photos to look structured — this is where Moon Honey comes in. Dana and James will capture relaxed, candid photos so you can remember the intimate, emotional moments when you felt most happy.
  • Quality work. Moon Honey has an impressive track record, with the pair telling Easy Weddings that couples cry happy tears when they see their wedding videos. “It's the quality of the work that our clients mostly tell us about. We often screen our videos in person with our clients for the first viewing - we consider it a failure if they don’t cry at least a little, which so far has never happened!”

Here’s what else you need to know about Moon Honey:

  • All-inclusive. Moon Honey’s all-inclusive packages mean they are there for your wedding, capturing everything from the vows to the farewell sparklers.
  • Social media images. Dana and James know you’ll be excitedly waiting for your first few images so you can share them with your friends and family on social media. This is why they’ll give you ten edited photos within 48 hours of your wedding — a sneak peek.

How would you describe yourself and your photography style?

Moon Honey’s James & Dana are efficient, relaxed, discreet, flexible, comforting and sincere, while their photography style is best described as warm. “We enjoy coating our images in honey-glazed tones to bring out the warmth of your day. We love capturing raw emotions and real moments.”

We cannot speak highly enough of Moon Honey! James, Dana, and Mandie were an absolute dream to have with us on our big day. Their talent blew us away, and their perfectly laid-back professionalism made everything feel effortless. From the minute they arrived, they seamlessly captured every magical moment of the day, allowing us to now cherish those memories forever. From the behind-the-scenes prep to the candid laughter shared among guests, and from breathtaking sunset shots to hilarious d-floor snaps, they didn’t miss a beat and flawlessly documented every aspect of our wedding. Every single photo we received is amazing, and we couldn't be happier! And the video? Just WOW! We still cry happy tears every time we watch it. Moon Honey truly knows how to capture the essence of a moment and turn it into something really special. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they also brought the perfect vibe to our wedding. Their friendly, easy-going nature and meticulous attention to detail put us at ease, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day. It was exactly the experience we had hoped for! Thank you, Moon Honey, for going above and beyond and capturing such special memories that will last a lifetime!

From the moment we met James and Dana we loved their vibe and personalities. They were extremely supportive of our vision and what we wanted to create on the day of the wedding with photos and videos. We also found their quote reasonable for what they were offering as a package. On the day of the wedding they were a dream to work with, collaborating and directing us and our guests in a fun and respectful manner. They felt part of the wedding and by the end of the night feeling like friends and part of our community. Obviously the most important part of this review is how epic the actual photos are and the video montage of our special day. So many people on social media have commented how they think our wedding photos and videos are the best they have ever seen. We are so grateful, thank you.

Oh my god 😱. My wife and I got Dana and James to capture our wedding day - and, boy, did they do just that! We were waiting with anticipation for the photos and video of the day, but we could not have possibly anticipated just how amazing Dana and James's work would be. Dana and James spent the time with us to understand the themes that were important to us for the day, they coupled this with their own creativity and expertise and created a set of photos and video that blew our minds and that we'll treasure forever. Not only are Dana and James amazing at what they do, but they're amazing people too - their easy-going nature, and chill temperament (not to mention great senses of humour) made our day that much simpler to manage. I can't recommend them enough!

James & Dana are an incredible couple to work with. The way they captured our wedding day is better than we could ever imagine. The skill and dedication they put into their work is highly desirable. Thank you for such beautiful wedding photos that we can spend the rest of our lives cherishing our special day.

If we could give 10 stars we would! Dana, James and their team are so wonderful to work with. From day 1 they put so much love and effort into the experience of working together. They captured our wedding day so wonderfully with content that we have been enjoying revisiting regularly. Their presence was seamless and their professionalism felt. We highly recommend them for any occasion, the best in town!

How long do I actually need a photographer for?

I've had a couple of quotes (varying from $1,500-$4,500). What's the overall difference between a 2k, 3k and 4k package? First-time bride here. Any help is appreciated!

"Our advice would be to find someone whose work you really like who can fit within your budget to cover the full event."

We strongly recommend having photos (and video) for the full duration of your wedding, from prepartion all the way through to the reception. It's hard to know what will be important until it actually happens. Even as professional photographers, we didn't know what photos we wanted captured until after the event. Having full coverage meant we got most of what we wanted.

Getting married isn't just about the ceremony, it's about the interactions that you have with your closest loved ones. Many of these moments occur outside of the ceremony itself, and having these professionaly documented truly is priceless. 

When it comes to setting a budget and what the difference between prices offered by different photographers/videographers, it comes down to what they think their product is worth. The truth is, you often get what you pay for, but that doesn't mean there aren't bargains to be had. Our advice would be to find someone whose work you really like who can fit within your budget to cover the full event.

Note: Don't forget about video, most of our clients weren't even considering it but in the end it can be a more powerful and concise record and way to share and remember this milestone. Have a look at our video for Maddie and Bas to get an idea! It's true a picture can tell a thousand words, but a video will really take you back there. 

Should we have a "first look"?

This can work really well for some couples. One of our couples chose to do this so that they could walk down the aisle together.

The benefit was that we could do the couple photos before the ceremony, which changed the flow of the day entirely. This meant they went straight from the ceremony to reception without having to leave their guests. This worked really well for our couple, as it allowed them some time to be together before the big celebration and more time with the guests at their reception.
