Here’s what else you need to know about Barter Photography:
Barter’s photography style. “The style of my photography is called 'Wedding Fashion'. It could also fit into the category called 'Fine Art' wedding photography. Another popular style which I love to shoot is PhotoJournalistic. This is where I photograph unposed, unprompted, realistic natural moments. I capture the spontaneity of every unfolding moment,” says Clinton.
Personalised photos. Clinton Barter takes cues from you as a couple, and uses this inspiration to get creative behind the lens and when editing your wedding photos. “Your originality, taste and style inspire everything I do,” he says.
Subtlety. Don’t worry, Clinton won’t get in any of your relatives’ faces with his camera - thank goodness, he’s the king of subtlety, and blends in seamlessly at weddings. With the exception of your couples shoot, you’ll barely notice he’s there.
“My new husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Clinton shoot our wedding in Port Douglas. He met with us on location prior to the big day, his communication regarding the images and the vibe we were going for was spot on and timely, and the final pictures are stunning! How he managed to be in what appears to be so many different places at once to get all the amazing photos he did without us ever feeling like we were being hounded by paparazzi is beyond me! Highly recommend for weddings. Thank you, Clinton!" Grace
"Clint was an outstanding photographer for our wedding. Clint made me us comfortable in front of the camera with his relaxed style.Talked to us like a friend, and gave us clear simple direction. I was so happy to receive our photos, and have them to view so many times remembering what the most important day of our life looked like. I would recommend Barter Photography for anyone who needs a wedding photographer - we clicked and made a great new friend, too." Phil

Best rustic photo locations for the rocks in Sydney?
Barter Photography
Hi There. I have done some wedding shots there at the Rocks. There is a nice rustic lane that i know of....Definitely if you ask your photographer to go to 64 Cambridge Street, The Rocks. I have some photos on my website of this exact location. Have a look at them at Barter Weddings.com.Hope this helps you. Cheers, Clinton.
What is an appropriate budget for a photographer?!
I want the beautiful photos and my H2B wants the long coverage and we just can't seem to find the 'perfect' fit within our budget, we have set aside $3000 for photography AND videography and i am beginning to feel like this is not enough for what we want... Most photographers I have inquired too cost from $2500+. Is it possible to find a photographer that will meet both our needs within our price range, or is it too low? Any experience with how to handle this would be much appreciated.
Barter Photography
Hi Alexandra, You may need to have a photographer for a shorter amount of time with your budget. I do 3.5 hours for $1000. Check out my high quality of work for this price. For this amount of time you only get the Ceremony and the Formal Photo shoot. The Reception is something you would have to consider leaving out? You may need to work out which parts of your day are more important than others. Good luck, and i hope this helps. Barter Photography

Hi Kylie, As an experienced Fashion and Celebrity Photographer that has crossed over into shooting weddings i have always asked myself the same question?
Maybe before the 'digital age' back in the early 80's and 90's photographers could ask the high prices they did for photographing a wedding, as they had the large cost of processing film and prints for a wedding album. But now that has been eliminated you don't have to pay thousands of dollars any more! But sadly the prices really haven't come down since the 1990's.....But there are photographers around who have lower prices without any compromise on quality. Have a good look around and compare the quality of the work. Hope this helps. Barter Photography
