Booking Photographers: What to Know

Photos are what you keep, so the photographer is often booked straight after the venue. The ones here cover weddings across all three areas of the valley, and several also shoot corporate days and engagement sessions.

Some work alone, some as a husband-and-wife team, and a few shoot photo and film together.

How to compare photographers:

  • Style first: look at full galleries, not highlights, to see how they handle candid moments, a dim barrel room and harsh midday light.
  • Packages start from $2,200 and $2,800; ask how many hours that covers, whether there is a second shooter and if an album is included.
  • Photo and film from one team can simplify things, and one duo's $2,950 package is a weekday elopement with both.
  • Extras such as engagement shoots, Super 8 film and printed albums are worth pricing up front.

Ask each photographer which spots they like for portraits at your venue, then let your celebrant know the plan. If you also want film, compare the videographers.

Light and season among the vines

  • Summer midday light is harsh, so many couples plan portraits for later in the afternoon; agree timing with your photographer.
  • Vintage, roughly late summer into autumn, brings harvest work into the rows; ask the winery before planning photos among the vines.
  • Winter can be cold and grey, which suits moody barrel-room and bluestone portraits indoors.

Practical questions

  • Is travel to Seppeltsfield, Lyndoch or Eden Valley included, or charged separately?
  • How long until the full gallery is delivered, and in what format?
  • Who shoots if you're unwell on the day?
  • Do you need a meal break and a seat at the reception?

Fitting photos into the day

  • Build a portrait window into the running sheet rather than squeezing it between ceremony and dinner.
  • If the bridal party moves between sites, book transport for the photographer's timing too, through a wedding car firm or a bus.
  • Share a family shot list in advance so group photos move quickly.

Questions About Booking Event Photographers

What does a wedding photographer cost for a winery wedding?

Packages here start from $2,200 and $2,800, and a photo-and-film duo's weekday elopement package is $2,950. Full days, second shooters and albums add to that, so compare what each package covers.

Can we book one team for photos and video at Tanunda?

Yes. Several photographers here shoot film as well, often as a couple working together. It keeps the style consistent and saves coordinating two separate suppliers.

Do these photographers cover corporate events in the valley?

Two of them list corporate events as well as weddings. Ask for examples from conferences or work dinners, since the brief differs from a wedding.

When is the light kindest for portraits around Nuriootpa and Angaston?

Usually later in the afternoon, away from the harsh summer midday sun. Talk it through with your photographer when you set the ceremony time.

Should our photographer come to the engagement shoot first?

It helps. An engagement session lets you get used to the camera and see how the photographer works, and some packages here include one.
