About Michael Boyle Photography

Michael Boyle is a wedding and family photographer based at Shell Cove who works along the South Coast. He describes himself as better behind the camera than talking about himself, and his approach on a wedding day is equally low-key: plenty of candid coverage, plus portraits made by wandering around with the couple, chatting and letting moments happen instead of lining people up in front of the lens. His work runs from the quiet parts of the morning through to the reception, when speeches land and the dance floor fills. Galleries on his site show black-and-white and colour images side by side, with a lot of attention on guests and the energy of the night as well as the couple. Pricing is published openly. The Base package covers six hours and delivers 600 to 800 edited photos for $4,200. Essential runs eight hours for $4,950 with 800 to 1,200 photos and a $150 print credit, and The Lot covers ten hours for $5,800 with up to about 1,300 photos and a $250 print credit. Packages include a sneak preview of 30 to 40 images within 24 hours and an online gallery for sharing and downloading. Additional hours are $400 each. A one-hour engagement shoot on the South Coast can be added for $850, held Monday to Thursday. Michael also lists the videographers, DJs and hair and makeup artists he enjoys working with, which can help couples assemble the rest of their team. Availability is checked through the contact form on his website.
