Our Talented Wedding Photographer Can Capture the Right Moments in a Natural Way

Our talented Melbourne wedding photographer with years of experience can capture the right moments in a natural way. The Lavan team will help you capture precious moments of your wedding day that you won't want to forget. As you're preparing for the wedding and looking forward to the celebration, one thing you won't have to worry about is having a photo record of the event. You can only be in one place at a time, but we'll be there when you can't, taking photos of the preparations, ceremony, celebration and all the special touches that make your wedding unique.

A busy wedding schedule keeps you and your partner from witnessing every important moment, and having a photographic record is a wonderful way to remedy that. Although the proceedings of the day sometimes take you away from the action, owning a complete set of photos will let you savour everything about your special day. Candid moments are some of the best parts of a wedding, and with a wedding video, you can even enjoy the comments people make when you're not around.

Our unobtrusive photography captures the intimate details of your day. Poignant family interactions can happen at any time, and saving them in a photo album will make the memories even richer. One excellent photo opportunity is just before the wedding when you and your partner are undergoing preparations separately. Catching tender interactions with family members and flashes of humour will add life to your wedding album. Also, long after the wedding is over, you'll each be able to see what was happening behind the scenes with the other.

A professional photoshoot includes details that an experienced photographer will be sure to include. Shots of the wedding rings, the bride's gown and the bouquet are standard compositions, but there's more to capturing the mood and setting of your wedding. A barn door, footprints in the sand or a special closeup shot can bring back glowing memories of your special day. Photos taken from unexpected perspectives or angles can also make a wedding album unique, and photos of pets enliven any album.

The details that the two of you choose for your wedding décor reflect your personalities, and they should also be a part of the record. A great way to remember these personal touches is to include a shot of the church or hall before any people arrive. A beautiful sunset, a hearty laugh from a guest or an emotional toast are examples of the kinds of details that will bring your wedding to life in photos long after the day is over.

Our Wedding Photography Style

When Lavan Photography records your special day, we'll emphasise candid shots with our easy, laid-back style of photography. We excel at capturing natural, unscripted moments while highlighting your best appearance. Having photos taken at your wedding should be a fun and enjoyable experience, and we aim to help you participate in a relaxing photoshoot that's not staged or inflexible. We'll help you document the genuine story of one of the most important days of your life.

  • Professional Style

We're happy to photograph your wedding, and it shows. The experience should be fun for everyone, and a light and humorous vibe goes a long way toward achieving that goal. We're able to use natural light and shade to create settings that are flattering to the subjects, visually striking and lovely to behold. Our work ethic includes showing up promptly and staying around until we finish the job. We can also help you create a contingency plan in case of weather issues and assist with a timetable for events that will allow your day to proceed smoothly.

  • Boho Style

Hold your wedding in any venue, including an urban or traditional setting, and we'll be there to record professional photo and video from the day. However, our specialty is photography and videography of weddings in rural, natural and boho locations. An outdoor wedding might be on the beach or in the countryside, and it can be as casual or as structured as you choose. Rustic outdoor settings are a wonderful backdrop for a wedding, and we can suggest many locations that incorporate the beauty of nature.

  • Candid Style

As your day naturally unfolds, we'll be there to capture genuine moments discreetly. Our candid shots won't interfere with the festivities, but they'll give you the pleasure of noticing aspects of your wedding day that you might have otherwise missed. Browsing photos from weddings we have photographed will give you an idea of the unusual and intriguing shots we include. The little touches of décor at your wedding will also be a part of the story, memories to treasure in the days to come.

  • Flexible Style

Besides the photos of their wedding celebration, most couples want to include posed shots of family groupings and the wedding party. Our technique for taking these photos is to put people at ease with humour and conversation. It should be a pleasure, not a chore, to pose for these important mementos of your wedding. We'll discuss the best composition of the group with you and your partner, rather than directing you, because this is your day, and it's your preferences that matter.

  • Individual Style

While we have helped many happy couples find a boho or vintage setting for their vows, we can make a lasting and professional record of your day no matter where it takes place. You and your partner are individuals, with your own ideas about your wedding. This magical day should be free of stress, and it should cater entirely to what the two of you expect and desire. Our goal is to incorporate your input and ideas, provide a stellar photographic experience, and give you a lasting record of your wedding that you can treasure for years to come.

Choosing the Right Wedding Photography Package for Your Melbourne Wedding

Achieving perfection for your wedding means looking after the little details. Get these little details right, and the bigger picture will really begin to come together. We are firm believers in this at Lavan Team, and we apply this approach to our wedding photography work.

So, what should you look for when you are choosing a wedding photographer and photography package for your big day? How do you make sure that you are working with someone who is serious about attention to detail and great results? 

Take a look at our tips:

•            Check out the previous results the photographer or the team has achieved - This is absolutely critical as you can't know what to expect until you have seen what the team is capable of. Look for variation between pictures, look for an artistic flair and a great choice of angle, and look for – as mentioned above – a keen eye for detail.

•            Consider your own objectives for your wedding - Perhaps you are looking for a small-scale album of only a few standout pictures, perhaps you want to create an album to give to your guests as a memento of the day, or perhaps you are searching for a full-colour photobook that captures the magic of your event for all time. You need to know what you want ahead of time, and you need to know that your chosen professional is equipped to deliver what you need.

•            Test your professional's knowledge, put your mind at rest - All professionals who are worth their sale will be happy to sit down with you and talk about their work. Ask them any questions you might have ahead of the big day, and make sure that you get all of the answers you need. This will put your mind at rest and help you to understand what to expect.

•            Consider the size and scope of your event - Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, from intimate, small affairs to huge events for the whole family, the extended family, and the extended, extended family. Make sure you talk about this with your chosen professional, and make certain that they can deliver.

•            Check out previous reviews of their work - Customer reviews are among the most trustworthy sources of information out there. This is where you will learn whether or not the professional and their team can deliver. These reviewers don't pull their punches, so if you find a company that scores well online, you may have found a winner.

Our team are proud to be able to call ourselves the experts in capturing memories of your perfect day. We take our commitment to our clients very, very seriously indeed, which means we pledge to go above and beyond each and every time. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we work closely with you to understand your needs and then put our skills into action as we make your dreams a reality.

Reach out to our team today to get started. We can't wait to talk to you about your special day and then to delight you with the results we can achieve.

Why Wedding Photography Is So Important

It's your special day, and everything has to be just right. From the seating arrangements to the speeches, right through to the guestbook and the buttonholes on the suits of the groomsmen, no detail can be left to chance.

The pictures are no different. In fact, it is the pictures that are going to provide the lasting memories of your big event, so this is one of the most important factors of the whole day.

Read on to discover more about why photography is so important for your Melbourne wedding.

•            Special moments are fleeting, but that doesn't make them any less special.

That beautiful smile shared between the bride and groom just before their first kiss. The heart-melting image of an elderly relative playing with her great-grandkids. All those lovely outfits and instances of people having the best time on the best day.  Each and every one of these is a fleeting moment, and each and every one is a moment you are going to want to preserve. Only the most expert professionals can handle such a responsibility.

•            Your photographer can help to bring out the best in your event.

A skilled professional will blend into the background and capture beautiful candid images of your event, but they will also do more than this. These professionals will be able to coax smiles out of even the grumpiest infant. They will be able to organise you and your loved ones into great group photos that capture everyone at their best. To put it simply, they will provide the catalyst you need for a wonderful set of memories.

•            True professionals are friendly and courteous to keep everyone in a great mood.

It takes a serious set of people skills to be a great wedding photography professional. Our professionals are kind and personable with everyone and help to contribute to the atmosphere of a truly great day. You also need to develop a close professional relationship with the team on camera duty, as well as a personal one. When you work with our team, you will find that this is easy.

We hope that this has given you a bit more information about what makes these services so crucial. You've been planning this day for quite some time, and you want to ensure that everything goes smoothly. This is why you need to work with a team of professionals. This is why you need to work with Lavan.

How Much Does Wedding Photography Cost?

How to choose wedding photography packages

Achieving the perfect wedding day is often expensive. What's more, these costs seem to quickly add up until even your most generous estimates end up getting left in the dust.

This is why questions about cost and expense are so common among people looking for wedding photography services. Everyone wants to achieve great quality and to truly preserve their wedding images in the right way – and yet, at the same time, all of us want to keep the big event within budget.

Unfortunately, this question is difficult to answer outright. While our basic package begins at $2,200, there are so many different cost components involved in a package like this, that it is almost impossible to say for certain how much the overall price will be before we get to know the specifics of what you need.

This is why we communicate closely with our clients, so that we can learn about what you need and then give you a quote for our services. It is only by taking this personal approach to wedding photography packages that we can guarantee the satisfaction of our clients – and, of course, guarantee stunning wedding memories to stand the test of time.

So, to learn more about costs for your package, get in touch with our team and arrange a quote. In the meantime, take a look at these different elements that help you understand and plan your costs.

•            The duration of your event

Much of the total cost of a package will consist of paying the photographer for their time. While we aim to be as affordable as possible for our clients and to give them what they need at a competitive price point, we are also committed to quality. This means providing the very best in professional services, delivered by our experts, which in turn means fair and transparent pay for our professionals and their work.

•            The quality

We know that you want to achieve a finished product that will not only match the beauty and magic of your special day but also stand the test of time. We pledge to make this happen for you.

•            The amount of photos

When it comes to production and processing costs, it makes sense that the greater the amount of pictures you require, the greater the overall costs will be. However, with us there is no limit of photos taken on the day and the amount of pictures you will receive, as we always price our services in an honest, fair, and transparent way. Speak to our team to discover more.

•            Additional professionals

Perhaps you need another professional to help you capture the big day in the best way possible. We offer this, beginning at $150 per hour.

•            Any other special requests

We go out of our way to accommodate all of the wants and needs of our customers. Maybe you want your pictures delivered in a presentation box, or maybe you'd prefer a USB in a handcrafted case. We listen to your special requests and do our best to make these happen. While we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide all special formatting requests, or other requirements, we promise to do what we can. And, we apply our same fair pricing structure to these special projects.

Now that you understand a little more about the different elements that determine the cost of your wedding photography package, it's time to get started with the planning. Reach out to our team and find out more.
