OVERVIEW
Not your average wedding photographer, Pete Davidson and the crew at Brisbane’s Mapleton Street Studios, pride themselves on delivering a fun and fresh approach to capturing your day of days. While you’re enjoying your day, Pete is collecting authentic memories on film and turning them into works or art for you to remember forever.
Your goal is to throw the most epic party for your friends and family? We're in! It’s so important that you mesh well with your photographer. Besides your partner, there isn’t anyone else you’ll spend more time with on your wedding day than the person who takes your photos. Yes we've won photographic awards, yes we've appeared in print...but giving our clients a fun experience is most important!
We are the wedding photographer, for people who don't want a 'wedding photographer'. People head to Mapleton Street Studios because they want out of the box thinking, they want fun and fresh, and most importantly they want to have a good time with their photographer. Everybody has been to a wedding where the photographs are overly posed and choreographed. Where the bridal party photos seem to go on forever! And by the time the couple come back they are too exhausted to interact with their guests, because they are just over it. Scrap that! We are not in the 80's any more. If you are after fun and fresh then keep reading.....
If you’re looking for an experienced, genuinely passionate wedding photography and videography studio, look no further than Brisbane’s Mapleton Street Studios.
We are a collective of dedicated, talented creatives. Yes we have won awards, yes we have been published, yes we are a preferred supplier for many wedding venues in the Brisbane, Scenic Rim and Toowoomba regions. But all of that is not as important to us as genuinely connecting with our couples. We are all about capturing candid, authentic moments filled with raw, honest emotion. Our motto is that "a photograph is nothing, if the viewer can not feel the humanity within it". I want you two to soak this up because out of every human on planet earth, you found each other and said, no one else but you. That’s pretty powerful.

FAQ
This is such a common and natural question for clients to ask as understandably, there's an uncertainty from the client's perspective of what to expect, especially if it's their first time engaging with a photographer.
The answer to this question isn't so black and white, and it widely differs from photographer to photographer. But you will find that the majority of photographers will decline to share their RAWs, even with a price tag as it's considered only half of their art form. Photographers will shoot their subjects with the final edit in mind, so their RAWs are not a proper representation of their work, which is why they don't like releasing it even if a client promises to give the photographer credit. For an example, a world class chef may give you the ingredients to their famous dish, but what you cook up isn't their work anymore, and they probably wouldn't want their name placed on a final dish that they didn't actually cook.
But that said, I can totally understand where clients are coming from when they ask this question as they're usually thinking, "I remember a shot where we did 'x' or someone did 'y' with 'z' but I don't have that photo here, so I want all the RAW photos". But TRUST me when i say this, a photographer is going to deliver ALL of the best shots to you, and any shots where the camera may have missed focus and is blurry, or people are blinking, or even if the pose turned out to actually be really unflattering, then we aren't going to deliver those photos as we want to give you the all the BEST photos possible.
We take THOUSANDS of images on your day and it honeslty takes us hours of carefully sorting through those images to make sure all the best ones are chosen, and all the unflattering shots with blinks and camera errors are sifted out. Trust me, I'm not going to be keeping any of the worth while images to myself because I want YOU to have as many of your precious memories as possible!! :)
One of the other things that is quite unknown as well is what actually is a RAW photo?? A lot of people assume that a RAW photo is simply an image that isn't edited, which it true... but these RAW images aren't something that you can download straight onto your phone or laptop and start editing. These camera raw files contain unprocessed, uncompressed grayscale picture data from a digital camera's image sensor, along with information about how the image was captured which is known as metadata. So with all of that jammed into these files, they're actually pretty hefty in size, and not only that, but these types of files need particular softwares in order to be opened and manipulated.
So we do not provide RAW files when delivering the images to clients.
An album is the final touch to your wedding photography experience. Many couples feel they will save money by doing one themselves and perhaps they will, but when you have your images shot and edited by a professional, it makes sense to purchase a professional album. Often cheaper albums are cheap because of the paper used and this can have an impact on the colours. Many couples with the intention of doing their own album find it a daunting task to select approximately 80 images out of 1000 to go into an album and often put it in the 'too hard' basket. Understandably!
Over the years I've been photographing weddings, I've seen the change in how I provide images. Firstly it was a disc, then USB and now digital download. I think an album is something you won't regret, but you might regret not getting one. If computers no longer read JPEG files, an album is a physical reminder of your wedding day, it's kind of like insurance and something to showcase your photos. You may love the photographers work but the album is out of the budget, ask them if you can purchase one later. Many couples come back to me months down the track to purchase an album and that is perfectly fine.
We like to keep things simple around here. So to secure a booking with us we only require a 20% deposit and the balance is payable 14 days prior to the event. It's that easy!
