We originally shared this in-depth look at wedding We originally shared this in-depth look at wedding photography costs earlier this year, and it’s still worth your time if you're planning a 2025/26 wedding. ⁠ ⁠ From what the average Aussie couple spends, to the hidden hours (and gear!) behind the scenes, we’ve broken it all down with insights from some of our favourite photographers.⁠ ⁠ Swipe for the key takeaways, then tap the link in bio to read the full guide!⁠ ⁠ Cover background by @lisahaymanphotofilm⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: a pastel-toned floral display sits behind a dark blue text box on top reading "Planning your 2025/26 wedding? Let's demystify photography costs in Australia."⁠ ⁠ Image two description: a dark blue background reads:" 1. Most couples spend $4,000–$8,000. 2. That covers more than one day: it’s around 40 hours of work. 3. High quality = experience, gear, editing, time & care. 4. Packages vary: digital files, albums, second shooters will influence cost. 5. Your budget should reflect your priorities."]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding #WeddingVendors #WeddingCosts

“What if I feel awkward on my wedding day?” It “What if I feel awkward on my wedding day?” It’s one of the most common worries couples have, and it’s completely valid.⁠ ⁠ The spotlight, the traditions, the expectations… it can all feel like a lot.

From ditching the first dance to fist bumps instead of kisses (yes, really!), It’s packed with real-talk tips that will help you feel more present, comfortable, and totally yourself.⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in bio to read more! ⁠ ⁠ Photography: @jackjonesweddings⁠ / Venue: @thegrounds⁠ / Florist: @thefabledflorette⁠ / Celebrant: @amywatson_marriagemaker⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A joyful bride and groom make their entrance at their wedding reception, holding hands and wearing matching white heart-shaped sunglasses.
