It’s important for couples to feel comfortable in front of the lens on their wedding day. That’s why the team behind Melbourne’s Fifty Mil Studios strive to create a relaxed and authentic vibe, allowing you and your loved ones to feel and act like yourselves. No forced smiles or stiff poses here; the Fifty Mil team want your personal style to shine through in every photo.
Based in Melbourne, Fifty Mil Studios is owned and run by Chris, a passionate wedding photographer with more than eight years of experience in the industry. Looking through the gallery, it’s clear that Fifty Mil’s style is storytelling. Each wedding day is a journey, from each partner’s pre-ceremony preparation, all the way up to the guests hitting the dancefloor at night.
“From the moment Chris arrived at the grooms' preparations we were relaxed and into it. This continued through the ceremony and into the reception and it really shows in the final product. Relaxed, happy imagery with a great mixture of candid and posed memories. We were thrilled.” - Rupert L
But there’s another journey that’s equally important to capture in photos; the one you and your partner have been on leading up to your marriage. Chris captures every emotion, adoring look, warm embrace, and timeless kiss with honest and authentic photographs.
Offering a range of packages, Fifty Mil Studios has a style to suit every need, guestlist, and budget. Rather than charging by the hour, Fifty Mil Studios has the unique model of offering their services according to the “elements” you want covered.
These elements include:
- Ceremony
- Groom preparation

- Artistic photographs
- Either partial or the full reception
