“Luke was our wedding photographer, and he was fantastic! Luke spent a lot of time with us to understand what we wanted from our photos and how we wanted them to look. He provided great advice and insight in regards to the photography on the day which we found really helpful. We asked for informal, natural style photography, and Luke hit the nail on the head. We loved our photos! He captured the special moments perfectly. He was so accommodating and attentive throughout the whole process and just made it so easy and stress-free. We went through our photos again a couple of months ago with friends who missed our wedding and were reminded how much we loved them. You captured some special moments! Thanks again for your service.” — Julia R

Highlights of working with The Light Industry Victoria:
“I was absolutely thrilled with the photos Luke took of our wedding. His images were beautifully framed, natural, and seemed to always capture the perfect moment. Luke is friendly, thoughtful, professional, has incredible attention to detail and makes you, your family and friends (of all ages) feel instantly at ease. As well as capturing the big moments, he also remembers to take photos of the little details that paint a complete picture of your big day - so when you're looking back at your photos, you recall every part of the story. I loved his work so much I recommended him to my best friend for her wedding. She was equally happy with the wonderful images he took of her day. I would use Luke for again for any event and would definitely recommend him as a wedding photographer.” — Anushia B.

FAQ
Absolutely! Commonly the best place to meet is a cafe near your ceremony or reception location. That way we can walk through some of the photo shoot details and think through any tricky location issues. This helps to maximise the opportunity we both have to work together and so we can understand exactly what your vision for the day is.
This can certainly be added into your package. Please advise us of what kind of photo book you'd like and we can send through options for you to consider.
Once all of the editing is completed, yes we can. However you will need to provide a hard drive commonly at least 200GB in size for us to pass the images onto you.
Every photo we take is in both raw and jpeg format. This provides you with both a quick reference image and also the raw file of each for when you want to adjust the finer details of any image.
The Light Industry do both wedding photography and videography. Please see our website www.thelightindustry.com for many examples of wedding videos and bridal expo catwalk fashion videos.
A 10% package discount is applied for couples who book both photography and videography! (The discount applied to the equal or lesser value package).

Do photographers always have a second shooter?
The Light Industry - Wedding Photography
It's common knowledge that second photographers are often junior assistants. So long as this is communicated up front, this cost should reflect evenly in your quote. It's also true that a second photographer is not essential. However - most brides don't want an "essentials only" wedding. So if you have extra budget, go for it!
The most cost effective way to get two experienced professionals to capture your wedding is to book your photography & videography package through the one company, requesting that both crew have significant photography & videography experience. This enables both to leveridge their skills and tag-team throughout your day, swapping equipment for each aspect - to maximise the photos & video coverage you receive.
Many weddings that I've attended (as a guest only) where there are two photographers, it appears that they are not working at full pace. I think this occurs because they appear to only be thinking within "their zone", as a photographer... And, since there's two of them - they take it a little easier. So as a rule, it is always a safer bet to book a photographer who also has significant wedding videography experience. Videography is often a tougher workload, and these people are more likely to think creatively outside the "generic photography" box for you!
What was the worst wedding you have been to and what happened?
The Light Industry - Wedding Photography
Unfortunately, the two worst weddings were: 1) when the bride treated one of her bridesmaids (a sister) badly during her speech (the bridesmaid ran out after the speech crying) , and 2) when the bridesmaids had treated the bride badly in the lead up to the wedding (there was relative calm on the day but things blew up following the wedding).
*Lesson Learned: Don't feel compelled to have a bridal party, even if all your other family members & friends have had a bridal party. If you seriously think there could be disunity in the bridal party on your wedding day, play it safe & keep things small.
Another regrettable wedding/event was when I attended (as a guest) & the photographer clearly had very little idea what they were doing. I took about 20 casual/simple photographs of the day & they turned out to be the best wedding pics the bride received! / Note to self: if you hire monkeys, you get peanuts.
