Choosing a wedding photographer

A good wedding photographer is experienced, practical and capable with a sense of fun. At Serendipity we have shot over 2,000 weddings between us, each one a unique event. Equipped with this knowledge our studio prides ourself on personalising your wedding coverage, capturing colours and tones of your day and delivering an album design to reflect your personality and the theme of the wedding. Members of the Serendipity Photography team have degree level and postgraduate qualifications in Photography, Computer Engineering, Visual Art and Film Theory. On top of these official training skills, we possess a wealth of industry experience gleaned over the last 25 years in photography, computer graphics and visual image as well as post production and editing. We are passionate about producing fantastic - one of a kind - albums that reflect your unique qualities and style.

Often couples choose photographic locations that suit the theme of the wedding or hold special memories, such as the cafe where you had your first date or a favorite beach. It is important to have a variety of looks and choose places that are multi-faceted, not too crowded, and with easy parking ( to prevent long walks from your car in high heels!)

While you may have your heart set on blue skies and beach boxes, if the weather takes a turn for the worse then sunny day locations will be far from ideal. But not all is lost! In this situation the trick is to be flexible, which can simply mean swapping fair weather locations for more sheltered spots while maintaining a delightful alfresco feel. There are various possibilities to choose from, such as the Stokehouse, the Block Arcade, St. Kilda Town Hall, Kamesburgh Gardens, The Docklands and many more. Some of the best reception centres will have both indoor and outdoor options, offering picturesque backdrops even if there is a last minute adjustment due to unexpected weather!

Serendipity recommend having a look at our blog, which features an array of posts and pages focusing on specific ceremony venues, reception centres, outdoor locations, as well as tips and advice for all styles of wedding celebrations.
