📸 104 photographers nationwide ✅ Professional wedding photographers 🎯 We have never missed a ceremony 📅 7 day photo delivery

Quality Over Quantity. Always.

We have watched couples receive 500 photographs from their wedding photographer and feel completely overwhelmed. They spend hours going through them, end up loving about a dozen, and the rest sit on a hard drive or gather dust in an album no one opens.

So we flipped the model. Instead of flooding you with every frame, your photographer presents you with their very best work — you pick your 15, 30, or 50 favourite images, download them, keep them forever. Every image is lightly colour corrected and retouched. Every image is one you actually love. If you fall in love with photos beyond your package count, you can purchase additional images or the full gallery — negotiated directly with your photographer.

Three Photography Packages

Every package includes candid ceremony coverage plus a portrait session. The packages grow in time, coverage, and photo count — match yours to your celebrant package.

Who Are These Photographers?

Every photographer in the I Do Crew is a professional wedding photographer who runs their own wedding photography business. This is their specialty — not a side hustle, not a hobby, not something they do between shifts. They have spent years refining their craft specifically for weddings and elopements.

Every one of them was personally selected by our founders. Every one of them has been working with us since we started in 2020. Their style is a beautiful blend of candid — capturing genuine, unguarded moments during the ceremony — and posed, with a short portrait session after the ceremony to give you those classic, timeless images as well.

You cannot request a specific photographer, but every single one of them is excellent. Ange — our Admin Manager — personally assigns photographers based on your location and availability. If anything ever changes, Ange handles the replacement seamlessly. You will receive a simple email with your new photographer's details and nothing else changes.

Our track record

We Have Never Missed a Ceremony.

Not once. Not even during the disruptions of 2020 and 2021 when sick suppliers were a weekly reality. Our backup photographer network across Australia means if your assigned photographer cannot make it, a replacement is found and confirmed before you even know there was a problem. In five years of operation — over 2,000 ceremonies — we have a perfect record.

⚠️ Not All Elopement Photography Companies Are Equal

Some national elopement companies use gig platforms like Airtasker to find their photographers. They are not professional wedding photographers — they are whoever is available and willing to work for the lowest fee. There are no standards, no vetting, no backup network. The person who turns up to your wedding may have never photographed a ceremony before.

Every I Do Drive Thru photographer is a professional who runs their own wedding photography business. They have their own equipment, their own editing style, their own body of work. We know them personally. We have seen their work. We trust them with your day — and that is not a small thing.

What to Expect on the Day

1
Your photographer contacts you before the day

Once assigned, your photographer will reach out to discuss the shoot — the vibe you are going for, any specific shots you want, and the best spots at your location for portraits. If you want raw unedited images or have any special requests, sort this with your photographer before the ceremony.

2
Ceremony coverage — candid and real

Your photographer captures the ceremony as it happens — the glances, the laughs, the tears, the moment you are pronounced married. These candid images are often the most treasured. Nothing posed, nothing staged. Just your ceremony as it really was.

3
Portrait session — the beautiful ones

After the ceremony your photographer takes you through a short portrait session — couple only for the Vegas package, couple and family for the Fancy Pants and Big Kahuna. These are the images your family will print and keep forever. About 15 minutes of relaxed, guided portraits.

4
Gallery delivered within 7 days via Pixieset

Within 7 days of your ceremony your photographer delivers your full gallery via Pixieset — a beautiful, private online gallery. You browse everything, choose your 15, 30, or 50 favourite images, and download them in high resolution. They are yours forever. If you want more, ask your photographer about purchasing the full gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many photos do I get?

You choose your favourite 15 photos (Vegas), 30 photos (Fancy Pants), or 50 photos (Big Kahuna) from your full gallery. Your photographer presents everything they shot and you pick what you love. If you want more, you can purchase additional images or the full gallery directly with your photographer. An additional hour of photography for $660 gives you the complete unedited gallery of approximately 60+ images.

When will I receive my photos?

Within 7 days of your ceremony. Your photographer delivers your gallery via Pixieset — a private, beautifully presented online gallery. You browse, choose your images, and download them in high resolution. All lightly edited and colour corrected.

Can I get raw unedited images?

Yes — but this needs to be arranged with your photographer before the ceremony. Raw images are provided at the photographer's discretion and may attract an additional fee. If this is important to you, mention it when you first connect with your photographer.

Can I choose my photographer?

Photographers are assigned by Ange, our Admin Manager, based on your location and availability. You cannot choose a specific photographer — but every one of our 104 photographers is a professional wedding photographer with their own business and body of work. If anything changes, Ange handles the replacement seamlessly before you even know there was an issue.

Is photography included in the celebrant package?

No — photography is an optional add-on to any celebrant package. You can book celebrant only, or celebrant plus photographer together. Photography packages can only be purchased in conjunction with a celebrant package.

What if my photographer cancels?

We have a backup photographer network across Australia and we have never missed a ceremony — not once in five years, not even during the disruptions of 2020 and 2021. If your photographer cannot make it, Ange finds a replacement and you receive a simple email with the new photographer's details. Your ceremony proceeds exactly as planned.
