Rocco Ancora Photographer

As a guest of a close family member this review comes from a slightly different angle.  I was so impressed with the way you handled my family in getting us organised when it came to our inclusion throughout the wedding day especially at the gardens and reception. But I was blown away at the beautiful candid images when we sat down to view the slideshow of the photos. Wow wow wow it captured so much I had no idea how you got those images at the perfect moments and so many of them.  I am extremely impressed and thank you Rocco and Tanya for your creativity and professionalism.

We had Rocco and Tanya do our wedding photos in Adelaide (they are Melbourne based but we flew them over to Adelaide). We always believed that one of the most important services on the day of wedding was going to be the photographers. The wedding day represented one of the most precious moments in our lives and we sought Rocco and Tanya because we were so impressed by their record for producing consistent and excellent results.

They are highly professional in every aspect, from day one they always kept us up to date every step of the way and in the process were also a lot of fun! Rocco and Tanya are really positive which helps with all the stress and angst that can go along with organizing a wedding.

The day itself posed its own unique challenges, we literally had 4 seasons in one day – including wind and rain however Rocco and Tanya proved to be extremely adaptable to the often sudden changes in weather and even made stunning photographs out of the different backgrounds. They were excellent in terms of managing the people around us too, they both have a great sense of humor and got many smiles and laughs from our guests.

So regarding the end results, when we first looked back at our photos, what became immediately apparent to us is that Rocco and Tanya really enjoy their craft and have mastered their art. The photographs recorded much more than just individuals and locations but through their skill with the camera and much artistic flare they have given us a real gift - photographs that are infused with and evoke all the sentiments and passions of the moment that they capture. When viewed as an album or reel, the photographs are more than just collections of images organized chronologically, they tell an important story and convey it not just to the eyes but also to the heart. To us this is priceless.

There are no finer wedding photographers in our opinion and our advice to other people is that Rocco and Tanya are perfect if you are wanting something assuredly special, something that in the years ahead is going bring you right back to those precious moments so that above all you remember not just people and places but what it all felt like. The essence of experience and that is truly a rare skill. We love our wedding photos and couldn’t be more thankful!!!

Thank you Rocco and Tanya!

I undertook a one to one Mentorship with Rocco, as I wanted to elevate my work to the next level.  I was already a busy wedding photographer, and was producing nice work, but wanted to raise the bar and start to produce work that was more creative and polished.

I have seen Rocco's work for many years, had seen all the local and international awards he won over the years, and have always been a huge fan of his elegant creative wedding imagery, and in my opinion he has always been the Master of our craft.

From our first conversation via Zoom after my enquiry, I felt immediately at ease with him, and was impressed with the way he talks about his passion and success with total humility and humbleness.  Our mentorship was the best investment I have made in my business, and in myself, having been self taught until I invested in a masterclass with Rocco.  I wish I had done it years ago.  He taught me at a level I was ready for, and he had the ability to hone in on the aspects of knowledge I needed to achieve what my vision was.

He is supportive, encouraging, and very generous, and hands over all his knowledge without hesitation.  He really is the photographer's photographer.  Since concluding our Mentorship, I've been contacted by many people who are seeing my latest work, pro photographers included, who have commented on the level I am working at.  I can wholeheartedly say without any doubt, it is partly due to my hunger to be better, but mostly due to Rocco's teaching.  If you are looking for a mentor, or for someone to lift your photography to another level without any limits or ego, look no further.  Rocco's your man.

Rocco and Tanya absolutely blew us away with how they  captured and guided us through our very small and intimate wedding day.

Firstly, they are impeccably organised. There was so much communication from the booking to the lead up. We met and they helped us arrange a plan for the day. We are so sure that the day would not have been as organised or gone as smoothly as it did if we didn't have them.

Next, I cannot express how lovely they are. So warm and personable. It felt so natural to have both Rocco and Tanya with us in our home as we got ready for what was such a monumental occasion for us. They both made it impossible to feel anything less than ease and comfort being in their presence. We didn't feel any shred of awkwardness that one might usually feel when posing for photos. They managed to give direction to create so many amazing shots, while allowing us to be us and just have fun. They really worked with us and it shows through in the final product.

The photos themselves are nothing short of incredible. Everyone is so stunned with them. We started with a long list of photographers when making a decision but upon comparing them, Rocco's photos stood out immensely among the rest so it was a no brainer that we wanted him to capture our day.

In the beginning we discussed the vibe and style we were hoping to achieve and Rocco executed it with not just precision, he absolutely blew us away with the shots that he produced. His use of lighting is phenomenal and every photo is absolutely breathtaking. No detail of our day was left out, and the essence of us shines through with every image.

Overall it was an incredible experience and an honour to have Rocco and Tanya photograph our wedding. We can't thank them enough for their service and the images they captured, and we can't wait to book them again in the future.

Rocco Ancora Photography was a clear stand out for us when we were looking for the perfect photographer to document our special day.

Rocco and Tanya make a fantastic team together. They took the time to talk to us about how we wanted to capture the day, to ensure that they captured the things that were important to us in the best possible way.

They were patient and fun to work with and Tanya always made sure that my hair was looking it's best when the wind had other plans in store (thanks Tanya!).

They worked seamlessly with our videographer and together they captured everything we could have asked for and more.

The wedding album they created for us was a work of art which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I highly recommend Rocco Ancora Photography to all my friends and family, their work speaks for itself and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Thank you for everything!!

From the moment we met Rocco and Tanya we felt comfortable and confident that they will do an amazing job with little fuss and trouble. They spent time getting to know us, including a free pre-wedding shoot which was excellent. They were so easy to work with on the day of the wedding. They made it fun and were very unobtrusive. The photos have turned out beautifully and their price is very competitive. We highly recommend Rocco Ancora for your wedding photography.

We were so lucky to have Rocco and Tanya photograph our wedding this year. Their professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail not only meant that our photos were amazing but also that the entire process was seamless and really enjoyable. We had the best day, our family and friends loved working with Rocco and Tanya and we couldn't recommend them highly enough!! Thank you both again for everything you did for us!!
