Hamish & Courtney were incredible to work with. I am so grateful that they were a part of our wedding day. They are both such lovely people and honestly made our day working so closely with them. Their attention to detail is unmatched and it shines in their work.
They gave great direction on the day and the photos speak for themselves. They sent us a preview on the night of the wedding and they looked great. I am in awe of the talented photographers / videographers they are.
We highly recommend them. They are phenomenal. 10/10.

It’s taken us so long to write a review because how do you put perfection into words? You can’t - perfection is in our photos and video. Hamish and Courtney from La Este were absolutely phenomenal! Our photos and video turned out beyond perfect and we have had so many compliments on them since our wedding day! They are a dream team and we feel so lucky we had them as our videographer and photographer. They were so easy to work with and their attention to detail is second to none - Courtney making sure my dress was perfect for every photo - hands down the best and the type of people you want on your wedding day! They were so easy to work with from start to finish, beyond professional and the quality of their work is 10/10! They were so obliging with all our requests and even drove us a few km away from our venue just so we could get sunset photos! They genuinely wanted us to have the best day and best outcome for our photos and video. Thank you again for everything!

Could not recommend Hamish and the La Este Film crew enough. Hamish was so easy to communicate with which made organising our wedding day a breeze.
On the day both the photographer and videographer made the day run so smoothly, they were so friendly and accommodating and just super helpful throughout the day whether is checking in on us both or making sure we had all the photos we wanted.
We received both our photos and videos and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the outcome, they are just amazing!!

When we received our photos and videos back from Hamish and Courtney at La Este we were left absolutely speechless (and in happy tears). They are masters of their craft which is evident in their incredible work.
Behind the scenes and in the lead up to the wedding they were incredibly professional and would promptly reply to any queries we had, which made us feel comfortable and reassured.

We couldn’t recommend La Este enough to capture your photography and videography on your special day.

We can’t thank you enough for your work on our wedding day - the sneak peek photos are incredible. We know we both wouldn’t have been the easiest to get into position but you made it all so seamless and enjoyable. So thank you again, couldn’t recommend you highly enough.

Where do I even begin, Courtney & Hamish have absolutely blown us away with the photos they’ve shared with us (and that’s just the sneak peak!!). From the moment we booked La Este Film they have been outstanding with their communication and willingness to create a style we had envisioned.
The quality of their work is unmatched and Lochie and I feel so grateful to have had them be a part of our wedding day.
They brought the best vibes and energy and were so patient working with us and our huge bridal party (seriously well done guys! Hahah).
We will be singing their praises to everyone and already we’ve had numerous compliments on the photos provided!
We cannot wait to see the rest and the film!!
We love you guys!!

Hamish and Courtney captured our wedding in Werribee in March. They did such an amazing job, and we are thrilled.
The communication was amazing, they are very reliable and professional.
My partner and I aren't naturally very comfortable in front of a camera but these two made the whole experience fun and relaxed. They gave us lots of direction so we felt calm and confident in our poses.  They were also flexible and happy to adjust to our plans as we updated our venue and times. We got almost 20 sneak peaks the next day which was so exciting. We cannot wait for the rest of the film and photos to arrive so we can relive it all again!

Thankyou for being a special part of our day, being gentle, keeping us calm, and capturing moments that we will keep forever In our home.

You're the best!

About

La Este Film
Photographer La Este Film About me

La Este Film is run by Hamish & Courtney, a dedicated husband & wife team. We know what it’s like to be absolutely smitten and in pure love. I have been capturing weddings for over three years recognised in Together Journal, Wed Vibes, Wezoree, GT BRIDE. My approach to wedding photography is deeply rooted in a passion for creating art that transcends time. I strive to blend classic, editorial and romantic elements with fleeting emotion filled frames, nailing the balance between getting ’’THE SHOT’’ and genuine heartfelt moments alongside editing in a natural way to ensure every frame never dates. My philosophy centres around the belief that weddings are more than just ceremonies & portraits—they are profound, intimate milestones that wholeheartedly deserve to be captured with authenticity & soul for every single moment of the day whilst infusing elegance & timeless artistry for couples to cherish forever. Always working to perfect my craft in every way possible, I love dogs, Taylor swift, a good chicken schnitzel or bowl of pasta, making my home a ‘beige aesthetic’, fashion, fast cars and I’m really an introvert at heart until I have one glass of wine or an espresso martini…I’m an absolute perfectionist to a fault, and an incredibly passionate photographer that will assist you with anything on the day to ensure you look the best.
