Artful Wedding Photography in Melbourne

Our specialty

Wedding Photography That's Better Than Your Cousin’s iPhone

At Sonder, we get that being in front of a camera on your wedding day can feel a bit weird, like you’re suddenly in the spotlight. That’s why we focus on making it all feel as natural as possible—most of the time, we’re out of sight, capturing the little moments, the big laughs, and all those quirky glances you share when you think no one’s watching. But when it’s time for the portrait session, we love stepping in and having some fun with you, making sure you’re relaxed and just enjoying the moment. It’s not about perfect poses; it’s about capturing who you are together in a way that feels true to you

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Comfortable, Artful Wedding Photography

We believe that comfortable wedding photography starts with getting to know you. From our very first meeting, we take the time to listen to your story, understand your vision, and learn what makes you feel most at ease. On your wedding day, we create a relaxed atmosphere by blending into the background, allowing you to enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly being photographed. When it comes to your portraits, we guide you gently with simple prompts to bring out natural, genuine expressions—never stiff or staged poses. Our goal is for you to feel like yourselves, so that when you look back at your photos, you see the true, joyful story of your love, captured in a way that feels effortless and real

So, What Do Our Wedding Photos Look Like?

Our wedding photos are crafted to be more than just images; they are artful, fine art pieces that tell the unique story of your day. Each photograph is thoughtfully composed with an eye for detail, capturing not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt. We focus on the little moments that might otherwise be missed—the way your hands intertwined during the vows, the tear in a parent’s eye, the joy on your face as you see each other for the first time. Our photos are timeless, with a soft, artistic touch that highlights the beauty of the day and the authenticity of your love. When you look at your wedding photos, we want you to feel the emotion of every moment, brought to life with a creative flair that’s uniquely yours.

Getting Ready

The getting ready photos on your wedding day are all about capturing the little details and the quiet moments that you might not remember amidst the excitement. At Sonder, we focus on the small things—like the delicate lace of your dress, the laughter with your closest friends, the nervous excitement in your eyes, or the thoughtful note you wrote to each other. These are the moments when the anticipation is building, the emotions are raw, and the beauty is in the details. We capture it all with an artful touch, so you have a visual story of those precious minutes before the whirlwind begins, allowing you to relive the feelings and remember every meaningful glance and gesture that started your day.

First Look

Photos of a first look capture the magical moment when you and your partner see each other for the first time on your wedding day, away from the crowd. At Sonder, we love these moments because they set the tone for the rest of your day—filled with emotion, joy, and a deep sense of connection. The first look is all about you two: the surprise, the tears, the laughs, and that overwhelming feeling of love. It’s an intimate moment where time seems to stand still, and our photos reflect that by focusing on the genuine emotions and reactions. These photos not only become some of the most cherished memories from your day but also help create a relaxed, excited energy that carries into the ceremony and celebration that follows.

The Ceremony

The ceremony is the heart of your wedding day—the moment when everything else fades away, and it’s just the two of you, committing to a lifetime together. At Sonder, we focus on capturing the true essence of your ceremony: the way you look at each other with love and anticipation, the tears of joy from your family and friends, and the raw emotions as you exchange vows. Every glance, every touch, every smile holds so much meaning, and we’re there to document it all with an artful eye. Our approach is unobtrusive, allowing us to capture those intimate, unscripted moments that make your ceremony unique. When you look back at these photos, you’ll remember not just what it looked like but how it felt to promise forever to each other, surrounded by the people who mean the most to you.

Group, Family & Bridal Party Photos

The group photo and family photoshoot are special moments that bring together all the people you love most in one place, celebrating with you on your big day. At Sonder, we understand how important these photos are as a keepsake for both you and your families. We aim to make this part of the day feel smooth and enjoyable, capturing a mix of posed and candid moments that reflect the joy and togetherness of the occasion. We’ll guide everyone through the process with a relaxed approach, ensuring even the most camera-shy feel comfortable and at ease. These photos aren’t just about capturing everyone who was there; they’re about creating lasting memories of the love and support that surrounded you on this special day.

Portrait Session

The portrait session is where the magic of your wedding day truly shines, offering a chance to capture you and your partner in a moment of serene beauty and genuine connection. At Sonder, we see this as an opportunity to blend artistry with authenticity, guiding you through poses that feel natural while highlighting the love and chemistry you share. This is your time to shine—away from the hustle and bustle, allowing us to focus on creating stunning images that reflect your personalities and the special bond between you. We aim to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed, so you can just be yourselves and let your unique story unfold through our lens. The result is a collection of portraits that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal, capturing the essence of your love on one of the most important days of your life.

The Reception

The reception coverage is where the celebration truly comes alive, capturing the vibrant energy and joy that fills the air as you and your guests enjoy the festivities. At Sonder, we focus on documenting the fun, laughter, and spontaneous moments that make your reception unforgettable. From the first dance and heartfelt toasts to the lively dance floor and candid interactions, we’re there to capture every detail and emotion with a keen eye for the lively atmosphere. Our goal is to create a visual story of the evening that reflects the happiness and excitement of your celebration, so you can relive the joy and memorable moments long after the day has passed.
