How I approach wedding photography pricing
✦
Let's talk moolah!
I offer several different wedding photography packages with transparent and upfront pricing. Forget nasty surprises in the bill; the only surprise you get from your wedding photos should be how special and beautiful they are!
My process starts with a free consultation, where we chat about your wedding and what you want from the photos. From there, I help you pick between wedding photography packages, so you can find the option that works for you.

❶
The first step: a free, 30-minute chat
During our conversation, you'll have the opportunity to ask me all your pressing questions and fill me in about your plans for your wedding.

So how much should a wedding photographer cost? There are a few factors to consider.
The 30-minute meeting is important for both parties. It's like a first date; we get to suss each other out without any obligations. You'll have the opportunity to ask me all your pressing questions, filling me in about the plans for your wedding. I love helping couples bring their wedding day to life. After the chat, you'll have confidence that you will get the wedding photos you really want.
On my end, the consultation is essential for ensuring I have enough information to get the photos you want and quote for it properly. In figuring out the suitable wedding photography packages in Melbourne, I'll need information about things like:
✦ Location/s
✦ The length of the wedding and reception
✦ Travel times and distances
✦ Any logistical things that are out of the ordinary
✦ Whether you want albums or prints

Figuring out wedding photographer pricing in Melbourne
Picking between wedding photography packages doesn't have to be rocket science.
-
Also, things to keep in mind:
✦ Whether or not you want photos before the ceremony?
✦ Will you be getting ready together or separate?
✦ Are those addresses of where you're getting ready close by?This is the type of information I need when providing you with a wedding photography quote.
For most couples, the right length of time to book a photographer is 6 to 8 hours. However, if you're planning on having a party that rages long into the night, you might want to consider adding an additional hour or two to capture some of the D-floor action.

What do you charge for wedding photography?
Elopements and intimate weddings with up to 2 hours of coverage start at $1800.
-
My 6-hour package begins at $3590.
This includes six hours of coverage and an online custom gallery for your pictures. Most couples receive about 100 photos per hour of coverage in their final online gallery.
Weddings outside of Melbourne attract additional charges, with country Victoria at $200 a flat fee of $500 for anywhere outside of Victoria.
The results
“
We didn’t want staged and artificial photos from a fancy wedding photographer. We wanted something a lot more real and we found that in Lachlan’s work. On the day he made us feel very comfortable. He was flexible with doing whatever and fun to be around. We loved his relaxed vibe and his overall outlook on life.” ”

“
Lachlan captured the craziness and the excitement of our day - he captured how we were feeling. We were able to relive the whole day through our photos. There was a good balance of him being in the background unnoticed but also being part of the party. He made the whole process easy”
