If you’ve recently gotten married—or you’re in the middle of planning your dream day—you’ve probably heard of having two photographers at your wedding. It’s become pretty standard. But for many of my 2025 couples, I’m doing something a little different. I’m introducing three photographers for couples hosting wedding who I deem would value this. Why? Because in the luxury wedding space, this small change is an absolute game changer.
As a vendor working in high-end weddings across Australia and beyond, my goal is always to elevate the experience—for my couples, for planners, and for every vendor involved. While there are countless reasons why a third photographer makes sense, they really fall under two core pillars:
1. Multitasking to Capture Every Moment
With three photographers, we’re able to be in multiple places at once—seamlessly documenting the ceremony space as it’s revealed, candid moments during cocktail hour, and intimate portraits of the couple—all happening at the same time. This level of multitasking ensures that no moment or detail is missed, especially when capturing large-scale events across expansive properties, private estates, or multi-location venues. It’s how we preserve every layer of your story, from sweeping drone views to subtle emotional exchanges, all with intention and artistry. Need I say more?
2. Delivering a Next-Level Experience
Multitasking at a Luxury Level
Luxury weddings are known for two things: incredible attention to detail and immersive guest experiences. These events aren’t just weddings—they’re full-scale productions, often spanning multiple days and locations. When I say I can never have too many hands on a camera, I mean it.
At any given time, I might need to photograph:
- The reception setup
- The ceremony site before guests arrive
- Candid cocktail hour interactions
- The couple’s portraits during golden hour
- Drone footage of the estate or venue
- Film photography on 35mm for timeless, editorial moments
- The dress change in the reception
- A dedicated photographer just on guest photos in the drapery photo background op
- Guest list over 200+ people (you will get a second with 120+ people)
- Fantastic for destination weddings where a-lot of walking for portrait ops will be happening to ensure coverage is continued while I’m on the boat for couple portraits, etc.
- Private family photos full of candid moments in a private space vs formal family photos
All of this can be happening at the same time. With only two photographers, something can get missed. But with three? Every angle, every detail, every moment is covered seamlessly—without me or my team needing to race from one location to the next. It’s not just efficient—it’s essential.
Elevated, Intentional Moments
Having a third photographer also allows me to craft experiences you won’t find with standard coverage. With extra hands on deck, I can create:
- A draped photo op—a styled, softly-lit portrait space for couple and guest photos that feels editorial yet personal
- A private family portrait session away from the noise of the party—perfect for candid, emotional moments with parents or grandparents
- Seamless transitions between spaces without interrupting the flow of your day
This isn’t just about having more photos. It’s about thoughtful curation and giving you space to breathe, connect, and be present, while we quietly and artfully document it all.
An Above & Beyond Service
Beyond logistics, having a third photographer enhances the client experience tenfold.
I’m not just talking about more images (though let’s be real—I often walk away with 10,000 to 15,000 photos when working with a three-person team). I’m talking about the kind of intuitive, anticipatory service that defines the luxury market.
With a third photographer, I have an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands ready to:
- Assist the planner on the fly
- Jump in to capture spontaneous moments
- Step away from photographing if it means helping the couple or vendor team in real-time
It’s this level of care and responsiveness that sets a luxury experience apart—and it’s a standard I hold myself to with every wedding.
So, Why Three Photographers?
Because it allows me to serve you better. To capture more. To ensure no detail is missed. And to help bring your wedding vision to life with precision and artistry.
While yes, it takes more planning, communication, and editing, it’s 100% worth it—because you only get married once, and you deserve nothing less than the best.
These photographers will be hired by me, and shot under my brand and then I will deliver them all seamlessly in my edit style to deliver the most beautiful album.
