“Paul is a wonderful person and a great photographer. My expectations weren’t too high when we learned he didn’t have prior experience of doing Indian wedding photoshoot, but Paul surprised us in all aspects.

Thank you for doing wonderful photography for our wedding.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our photos. They are so candid and natural, perfectly framed and beautifully vivid. They are an amazing team and they made the whole process so comfortable and fun for us. I was really impressed by Paul’s attentiveness in asking me for specific information about the kinds of shots I wanted and that really helped us get exactly what we were looking for on the day. Prices are more than reasonable and I’d highly recommend La Lente to anyone looking to capture beautiful memories for a special occasion.”
“My husband and I booked La Lente Photography to take our photos at our wedding. We were most probably not the easiest of customers as we wasn’t that prepared and didn’t really know exactly what we wanted…. just ‘ Natural’ photos. This didn’t phase Paul as they both worked with our indicisiveness and produced some amazing natural photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.”

Frequently asked questions about;
Wedding photographer in Sydney
What types of weddings can we photograph?
In Sydney, there are several popular types of weddings that typically require a professional photographer to capture the day’s special moments. These include:
1. Traditional Weddings
Traditional weddings are often held in churches or large venues, featuring classic ceremonies, receptions, and a formal structure. Couples typically opt for a professional photographer to ensure every detail is documented, from the ceremony and portraits to the reception celebrations.
2. Beach Weddings
Given Sydney’s beautiful coastal scenery, beach weddings are a popular choice. Photographers capture the natural beauty of the shoreline, candid moments with the waves in the background, and sunset portraits of the couple.
3. Destination Weddings
Sydney is a sought-after destination for both local and international couples. Destination weddings, especially in scenic locations like the Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, or the Blue Mountains, require photographers to travel with the couple to document the unique surroundings and intimate moments.
4. Outdoor Weddings
Sydney’s many parks, gardens, and vineyard venues make outdoor weddings a popular choice. Photographers are needed to capture the natural beauty of the environment, as well as the spontaneous moments that unfold throughout the day.
5. Intimate or Elopement Weddings
Smaller, intimate weddings or elopements, often held in iconic Sydney locations such as the Opera House or private venues, require photographers who can capture the essence of a smaller ceremony, focusing on the couple and their closest loved ones.
6. Cultural or Religious Weddings
Sydney is a multicultural city, and couples from various cultural backgrounds often have traditional weddings that require professional photography. These weddings may involve specific rituals, attire, and celebrations that need to be captured with care and respect.
7. Modern or Alternative Weddings
With a growing trend for non-traditional weddings, many couples opt for modern or alternative ceremonies. These might include unconventional venues like art galleries, rooftop bars, or warehouses. A professional photographer ensures these unique events are documented in an artistic and personal way.
8. Same-Sex Weddings
Same-sex weddings have become increasingly common, and couples seek professional photographers to beautifully document their union in a way that reflects their love and style. These weddings may vary in location and style, but the need for a talented photographer to capture meaningful moments remains the same.
Each type of wedding in Sydney has its own charm and unique needs, and professional photographers help preserve these special moments with beautiful, timeless images.
How many photos does a wedding photographer take at a photo shoot?
We take hundreds of photos per hour for any booking to make sure we are capturing the right images based on your booking. Our photography is then crafted to deliver images that suit the booking you have made. So for an event or wedding there is a story created from start to finish. For commercial photos shoots it would be different angles, positions or design elements to show off a product or service. We then provide a selection of the best photos for you to choose from.
What photography equipment does La Lente use?
We use professional photography equipment from Canon (and other brands) that include digital SLR camera bodies, professional lenses and lighting equipment.
How large are the photo files received?
Typically the hi-resolution digital photos provided are 3MB+ in size per image which are suitable for prints, enlargements, canvas and photobooks.
Can you change the date of a photo session booking?
You can change your booking date, but your deposit will be forfeited and would need to be paid again for the new date. This is because we would have most likely declined other bookings for your date.
How does a professional photographer deliver the photos that have been taken?
La Lente doesn’t use free services like DropBox or just upload the photos to a Facebook photo folder.
We provide a personalised online photo gallery service that enables you to mark your favourites, share them with friends, order prints and more. You also have the option of receiving them on a USB key.
Does a professional photographer deliver the photos on a USB memory key?
You can select this as an upgrade option. They aren’t provided for free as we need to purchase a USB keys, then spend time copying the files, packing, posting and managing the administration to get it sent off. Therefore we offer the personal online gallery as the initial option to get your photos which is free of charge and USB as an optional extra.
How can you pay a professional photographer?
La Lente receives payment for our professional photography services via;
– Direct Deposit
– Credit
– Debit Card
– PayPal
