This guide should make finding your ideal wedding photographer on the South Coast easy. It’s a high quality list of professionals that includes several togs who have been named among Australia’s best wedding photographers. Plenty are also regularly featured in leading wedding magazines and blogs, and others have received awards from respected photographic institutions.
We have not identified the accolades achieved by photographers here for several reasons. There’s plenty of photographers in the wedding community who choose not to subscribe to awards or submit work to magazines and this does not distract from their creative talents, but more importantly, these accolades can’t tell you which photographer is a perfect fit for you.
We believe your instincts are the best judge of which photographer is right for you.
