Photography Advice

Choosing a Wedding Photographer
A good wedding photographer is experienced, practical and capable with a sense of fun. At Serendipity we have shot over 1,000 weddings between us, and the studio specializes in personalising your wedding coverage, colours and tones of your images and type of album design to reflect your personality and the theme of the wedding. Members of the Serendipity image team have degree level and postgraduate qualifications in Photography, Computer Engineering and Art and Film Theory, and a wealth of industry experience over the last twenty five years in photography, graphics and visual image post production and editing.  We are passionate about producing fantastic albums that reflect your unique qualities and style.

Photographic locations
Melbourne offers a fabulous array of parks, beaches, cafes and buildings that can provide great backdrops to your wedding shots. Where you choose to visit will be influenced by your personal preferences, along with the time available and the location of your wedding. You may have your own favourite places or a particular theme to work with on the day. Location shots add an individual flavour to your album and are a perfect way to kick off your celebrations.

Often couples choose locations that suit the theme of the wedding or have special memories, such as the cafe for your first date or your favorite beach. It is good to have a variety of looks and choose places that are multi-faceted and without parking problems or requiring 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. 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 and many cafes with great visual atmospheres. The best idea is to have a flexible schedule and be willing to change locations if the weather demands.
