Your Guide to Wedding Photographers in Sydney


Why hire a Sydney wedding photographer?

We strongly recommend choosing a professional wedding photographer for ease, convenience, and quality. Photography is a valuable skill that professionals have honed over several years, making it a worthwhile investment for major celebrations. On your wedding day, you’ll certainly notice the difference between a professional and an amateur photographer. 

Here are a few key reasons to choose a professional Sydney wedding photographer:

  • They’ll create high-quality images of your wedding day, including key shots that are important to you. 

  • They’ll have a calm, professional attitude on your wedding day, eliminating unnecessary stress and complications. 

  • They’ll ensure your wedding day is beautifully documented, preventing regrets and disappointments later on. 

  • They’ll capture memories that will last you and your loved ones a lifetime. 

You can avoid wedding photography regrets from real couples to ensure the best possible result for your celebration in Sydney. Here are some common mistakes to keep in mind:

  • Hiring an amateur photographer, as doing so can lead to low-quality images and distractions on your wedding day. 

  • Failing to create a shot list, as this can lead to missing crucial images of you and your loved ones. 

  • Choosing the cheapest option, as this can result in wedding photos that don’t match your aesthetic preferences. 

  • Not meeting with Sydney wedding photographers in advance, as this can lead to mismatched personalities and discomfort during your wedding photoshoot. 


How to choose the best wedding photographer in Sydney

To choose the best wedding photographer in Sydney, talk to your fiance´ about your general goals and preferences. Then, review photographers’ portfolios, packages, and personalities to ensure they align with your wedding vision. 

Browsing wedding photographers’ past work is a key step in booking the best services for your needs. Make sure the photographer’s portfolio matches your preferred style, with high-quality images you’d be happy with.

Additionally, consider potential Sydney wedding photographers’ experience level. Ensure they’re well-versed in popular Sydney wedding venues, like the Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, and Bondi Beach. Their ability to navigate and showcase these venues speaks volumes to their competence during wedding ceremonies and receptions. 

After thoroughly reviewing their past work, ensure your potential wedding photographer in Sydney meshes well with your wedding’s general vibe. We recommend meeting them in advance to get a feel for their personality and photographic approach. This can help you feel more comfortable going into the wedding day. 

Once you’re sure the photographer is a good match for your style preferences, review their packages. Check that the pricing fits into your budget and includes any desired add-ons, like albums and prints. 

Lastly, consider the logistics while choosing a Sydney wedding photographer. Make sure they’re available on your wedding date. If your photographer of choice is booked on your desired date, ask if they have any scheduling flexibility. 


What is the average cost of wedding photography in Sydney?

The average cost of wedding photography in Sydney is $3,702. This is more expensive than other regions of Australia, given that Sydney is home to some of the country’s most desirable wedding venues. 

Many factors can influence the average cost of a wedding photographer, including the shoot duration, photo quality, and add-on services. 

  • The shoot duration, or wedding coverage, refers to the number of hours your wedding photographer will work. The longer the duration, the more expensive the total cost. While hiring a Sydney wedding photographer for fewer hours can ultimately cut costs, it can also lead to missed shots, so be thoughtful during the hiring process. 

  • Wedding photographers in Sydney can offer different photo quality levels depending on their camera and lighting equipment. Generally, more experienced and established wedding photographers provide higher quality (and therefore more expensive) images. 

  • Add-on services like extensive editing, prints, and albums can inflate your NSW wedding cost. Consider which add-ons you truly need and select a wedding photography package accordingly. 

Oftentimes, wedding photography is expensive, especially if you tip. While tipping isn’t expected in Australia, it’s a thoughtful way to reward photographers who go above and beyond. Consider tipping 5% to 15%, or $50 to $100 per photographer. 


How to find an affordable Sydney wedding photographer

To find an affordable Sydney wedding photographer, you’ll need to get creative and use online tools to maximise available discounts. Start by setting a firm budget to hone your search and prevent overspending. 

With a budget in mind, you can browse Easy Weddings’ wedding photography packages to find an option that suits your needs. This platform offers upfront, predictable pricing from vetted suppliers. Plus, booking suppliers through Easy Weddings will earn you WedPoints that can be used toward future wedding purchases. 

WedPoints are reward points you earn by booking wedding suppliers, including Sydney wedding photographers, through Easy Weddings. They can be redeemed to book additional services, bringing down your total wedding spending. 


What are the best photography styles for a Sydney wedding?

The best photography styles for a Sydney wedding include traditional, photojournalistic, artistic, and editorial. Wedding photography styles vary greatly in focus and aesthetic, so make sure your Sydney wedding photographer is a fit for your preferences. 

Traditional wedding photography concentrates on classically posed images. In contrast to more contemporary styles, which use more artistic techniques and filters, traditional photography aims to showcase the subject, without complicated editing processes. If you prefer more controlled, posed photoshoots, traditional wedding photography may be the best fit for your needs. 

In contrast to traditional, formal portraits, photojournalistic wedding photography displays the event as it happens naturally. Similar to how journalists would document a breaking news story, photojournalistic wedding photographers aim to portray genuine moments of the wedding without interference. This results in beautifully emotional candids that transport the viewer to your wedding day, ideal for intimate and outdoor venues. 

As you may have guessed by the name, artistic wedding photographers in Sydney create pieces of art through their camera lens. This wedding photography style is softer and more romantic than others, placing an almost surreal filter over your wedding day. Artistic wedding photographers in Sydney take both candid and posed shots, with a strong focus on lighting and post-processing. Additionally, many artistic or fine art wedding photographers dabble in film photography for a glamorous, nostalgic look. 

Editorial wedding photography blends features of photojournalistic and fine art photography for a striking, high-end result. Using techniques commonly implemented for magazines and high-fashion publications, editorial photography aims to create dramatic, eye-catching images. While editorial wedding photographers typically take candids, t

They’re also likely to pose you with specific lighting and composition techniques. Especially for grand, luxurious venues, editorial wedding photography can lead to truly unforgettable images of your marriage celebration. 


What are the best locations for wedding photography in Sydney?

The best locations for Sydney wedding photography range from iconic historical sites to stunning outdoor spaces to quirky urban areas and scenic beaches. This region’s various venues can suit all wedding photography styles, from traditional to romantic to whimsical and everything in between. Some of our favourites include:

  • The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a quintessential Australian landmark and one of the world’s largest steel arch bridges. As one of the planet’s most recognisable bridges, it’s a memorable location to memorialise your union. 

  • The Royal Botanical Garden is Australia’s largest botanic garden and an unforgettable setting for your Sydney wedding photos. With expansive green spaces, rare horticulture, and lush scenery, it’s a sensational space for eye-catching imagery. 

  • Manly Beach is one of Australia’s most recognisable beaches and a memorable location for your wedding photos. With turquoise waters and a sweeping coastline, it’s home to many top-tier Sydney wedding venues.

  • Balmoral Beach is another popular Sydney beach and a serene space for wedding photography. As one of the region’s leading harbour beaches, it provides a range of backdrops to suit various photographic styles. 

  • The Sydney Opera House is a globally recognised landmark and highly sought-after wedding photo backdrop. At the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, this iconic structure is a distinctive architectural marvel to make your wedding photos truly pop. 

  • Martin Place includes historic buildings, vibrant urban features, and riverside views, making it a versatile space for Sydney wedding photographers. 

  • The Queen Victoria Building, or QVB, is a timelessly elegant backdrop for indoor and outdoor wedding photography. Nestled in Sydney’s CBD, this historic building is a classic choice for all photographic styles.  


What questions should I ask my Sydney wedding photographer?

To fit the best fit for your celebration, ask your wedding photographer these questions:


"Do photographers stay the whole wedding in Sydney?"

Photographers can stay for an entire wedding in Sydney, although partial coverage is more common. Typically, photographers cover four to eight hours of the event, including the ceremony and important parts of the reception, like the first dance and cake cutting. You can often work with wedding photographers in Sydney to determine the best shoot duration for your needs.  


"What is the average time it takes for wedding photos to be delivered in Sydney?"

Typically wedding photo delivery times range from one to two months, depending on your chosen package and the photographer’s availability. However, some of the best wedding photographers in Sydney offer sneak peeks and expedited services for an additional fee. This is a good option if you don’t want to wait for edited photos or want to send photo prints as gifts. 


"How many photos should a photographer give for a wedding?"

Wedding photographers in Sydney should provide 50 to 100 photos per hour of coverage. This is a rough estimate—the number can vary greatly depending on the photographer’s experience and style, as well as the selected package. 


"Should I get a wedding album from my photographer?"

You should get a wedding album from your photographer if you’re willing to pay an additional fee for a professionally-made album of your wedding day. Photographers often offer multiple wedding photo album types, allowing you to select a personalised memento to commemorate the day.  


"How do wedding photographers handle inclement weather?"

If you have an outdoor wedding venue, ask your wedding photographer in Sydney how they’ll handle poor weather. For example, if it rains on your wedding day, they may need to be flexible with timing and photo locations. The best wedding photographers in Sydney with experience shooting rainy or snowy wedding days may provide creative solutions, like an artistic use of umbrellas or dramatic veils to emphasise the wind. 


How far in advance should I book a Sydney wedding photographer?

You should book a Sydney wedding photographer nine to 12 months in advance, especially if you’re getting married during the peak season or at a high-demand venue. You’ll also need to secure popular Sydney wedding photographers well in advance, as their schedules fill up quickly in Sydney's competitive wedding market. 


How to get the most from your Sydney wedding photographer

To get the most from your Sydney wedding photographer, connect with them several months in advance for an initial consultation. During this meeting, you can discuss your needs and expectations to ensure their services are a perfect fit. Compiling a wedding photography shot list with your photographer in advance can also prevent missed opportunities. 

Before your wedding day, create a detailed photography timeline for location shots around Sydney’s quintessential landmarks. Allot ample time for each location, as you never know when unexpected delays could arise.
