Four ways to do it
Choose one hour or two, photography only or photography with video. Every session is cheaper when it's added to a wedding collection, and the price with a collection is simply the price, not a limited offer.
Proposal Photography Adelaide and Melbourne
Planning to ask? Tell us where and when, and we'll be there first: a photographer out of sight nearby, catching the question, the answer and the reaction from a distance. Once the ring is on, we step out and spend the rest of the hour on photographs of the two of you while you're still glowing.
A proposal is booked as The Connection, one hour of photography for $490. Weekdays are the easiest time for us, with far more free dates than weekends, so a quiet Tuesday sunset is often yours for the asking.
Already said yes? An engagement shoot is the same session with the ring on, made for your announcement and your save the dates.
What you come away with
Photographs made for sharing: an announcement, your save the dates, a frame for the hallway. Add a guest book and your pre-wedding photos become the book your guests sign on the day.
Hannah and Josh used their session to make something that felt like a film still: black tie, calla lilies, Carlton Gardens and the colonnade at Parliament House. See their session.

★★★★★
We had such a great experience with Jay Chubby Wedding. My partner and I were part of a pre-wedding shoot, and the whole process was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, gave just the right amount of direction, and the photos turned out incredible. You can really see the care and attention to detail in their work. Highly recommend to any couple looking for wedding photography that feels both professional and personal.
Questions couples ask
What's the difference between the sessions?
The Connection is one hour of photography. The Connection Extended is two hours, with time for two locations and an outfit change. The Duo versions add a videographer, so you get photographs and a short film from the same session.
Why is it cheaper with a wedding collection?
When we're already photographing your wedding, the session is planned alongside it and costs less to produce. That's simply its price with a collection, not a limited offer.
Can we use the photos for our save the dates?
Yes. Pre-wedding photos are made for sharing: announcements, save the dates and a guest book for the day.
What's the guest book?
Your pre-wedding photos bound into a book for guests to sign on the day. To have it ready in time, the session needs to happen at least six weeks before the wedding.
Where do sessions happen?
Anywhere that means something to you. City streets, gardens, the beach or the place you first met. Hannah and Josh chose Carlton Gardens, Parliament House and a vintage Mercedes.
Can you photograph our proposal?
Yes. A proposal is booked as The Connection, one hour from $490: you tell us where and when, we stay out of sight and catch the moment and the reaction, then photograph you both. Weekdays are the easiest to book.
Do you do engagement shoots?
Yes, an engagement shoot is exactly this session, once the ring is on. Many couples use the photos for their announcement and save the dates.
What should we wear?
Whatever you feel most like yourselves in. Colours that sit well together rather than match, shoes you can walk in between spots, and a second outfit if your session has time for a change, as The Connection Extended does.
