Trent and Jessie, a dynamic duo in the world of wedding photography, have mastered the art of capturing moments that couples will treasure for a lifetime. Based in Melbourne, their photographic approach seamlessly blends authenticity with artistic flair, creating images that are not just seen but felt. As they open up about their philosophy and style, it becomes clear that their work is more than a profession—it's a passion fueled by real human connections and a profound understanding of their craft.
"Our style is relaxed and real, a mix of documentary and editorial," Trent explains. "We want our photos to feel like a memory, capturing how it felt, so these moments can live longer."
Their approach is a delicate balance of candidly documenting the raw, unfolded moments while infusing an editorial flair that elevates the imagery to art. "We use Sony digital cameras and a collection of vintage film cameras," Jessie adds. It allows them to merge modern technology with the nostalgic tones of classic film photography.
But for Trent and Jessie, the true magic lies not in the gear, but in the connections they forge. "Our favourite thing about being photographers is the way it invites us into the most special moments of others," Jessie shares. "We have met so many incredible people through photography."
"We prioritize getting to know our couples before their wedding," Trent emphasizes. "We want to connect with them and understand their values, their vision for their wedding, and what is most important to them."
This dedication to personalized experiences extends to their business approach. "We love to cater to exactly what our couples are looking for and their vision for the day," Jessie states. Their typical wedding package spans 9 hours of coverage, and they can absolutely work with couples to create a custom package that meets their specific needs.
And for those looking to invest, their minimum 10-hour package starts at a cool $8,797 for 20-25 weddings per year, ensuring a boutique experience with undivided attention.
Trent and Jessie are seasoned globetrotters. "We love traveling to weddings all around Australia, but would happily jump on a plane for a wedding in Italy or an elopement in Scotland," Jessie exclaims.
Their advice for clients? "Soak in every moment as much as you can," Trent counsels. "Be present and take moments throughout the day to pause and take it all in." Words from true artists who understand that the most extraordinary memories are often fleeting—unless, of course, they're deftly captured through the lenses of Trent and Jessie.
