About Blue Ginger Photography
Blue Ginger Photography is a Canberra-based wedding photography business run by Steve, who shoots weddings alongside Sharon. More than 160 weddings sit in their portfolio, together with hundreds of couples sessions, and the whole approach rests on making people comfortable enough in front of the lens that the photos look like the day actually felt. On the wedding day Steve takes a documentary line. Rather than working through a long list of set poses, he lets things unfold and captures the reactions, the laughter and the small moments at the edges of the day. Couples are asked to flag any must-have people, details or surprises beforehand so nothing important slips by, and Steve and Sharon help keep timings on track during the day itself. An engagement session is offered as a warm-up before the wedding. It is treated more like a date than a routine photo shoot: couples choose a spot that suits them, whether that is a forest, an open field, an urban laneway or a picnic by the lake, and are encouraged to bring a few extras such as flowers or a statement jacket. It also lets couples learn how Steve works before the big day. The Blue Ginger blog shares practical wedding advice as well – building generous buffers into the timeline, having a well-lit wet-weather option for family and couple portraits, and protecting a quiet stretch of the day for portraits away from the crowd.

Frequently asked questions
What style of wedding photography does Blue Ginger Photography offer?
A natural, unposed style. Steve lets the day unfold and photographs the genuine reactions and in-between moments, giving light direction only where it helps.
Who photographs the wedding?
Steve is the photographer behind Blue Ginger, and he attends weddings together with Sharon, who helps keep the day running to time and everyone at ease.
Is an engagement session available before the wedding?
Yes. An engagement session works as a relaxed rehearsal at a location the couple chooses around Canberra, so they get comfortable with Steve's approach before the wedding.
Should we give the photographer a shot list?
A short list of must-have people, details or surprises is welcome, but Steve suggests avoiding a rigid list so there is room to capture moments nobody planned.
What happens if it rains on the wedding day?
Blue Ginger recommends agreeing a well-lit indoor back-up space with the venue and planner ahead of time, so family groups and couple portraits can go ahead whatever the weather.
