At Twelve Eleven, we believe that consistent, well-guided actions lead to fruitful outcomes, mirroring the essence of Hebrews 12:11 in both our approach and the impact we strive to make.

We can't recommend Thomas from Twelve Eleven highly enough! From the very beginning, he made our entire wedding photography experience an absolute joy. Our wedding at Bellevue Cottage in Glebe last Friday was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Thomas. He's not just incredibly talented, but also friendly and down-to-earth. He put us at ease right away, allowing us to feel comfortable and completely ourselves throughout the entire day. Communication with Thomas was a breeze. He was always timely and responsive to all our emails and questions. Leading up to the wedding, we never had to worry about the photography aspect, knowing it was in such capable hands. Mother Nature threw us a curveball with a terrible weather forecast, forcing us to move the ceremony and reception indoors at the last minute. Thomas didn't miss a beat - he remained flexible and adaptable, working wonders with the smaller space. Thomas's true talent lies in his ability to capture genuine moments naturally. We were absolutely blown away by the photos from our engagement shoot, and are already in love with the ones we've seen so far from the wedding. He has a knack for preserving all the emotions and candid interactions in his photos. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Thomas to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer. He made the entire experience so enjoyable and stress-free, and we love the photos. We would pick him again in a heartbeat! It was such a pleasure working with him. Thank you, Thomas!

Thomas was such an energetic and friendly presence on our wedding day. He created such a comfortable environment for my husband and I and it really shows in the photos. I couldn’t recommend Thomas more, for weddings or any other event.

Do wedding photographers generally do one style best?

Starting to look at wedding photographers and wondered whether they generally have a signature style that they do best or if we can show them inspiration and they can emulate it?

Twelve Eleven

Wedding photographers, like any other type of photographer, can have different styles that they specialize in. Some wedding photographers may excel in a particular style, while others may be versatile and have experience in different styles.

Here are some of the common wedding photography styles:

  1. Traditional/Classic: This style is characterized by posed, formal portraits of the couple and their families. The photographer usually takes a structured approach, ensuring that everyone is in the right place and looking their best.
  2. Photojournalistic: This style emphasizes candid shots that capture the emotions and moments of the day. The photographer typically takes a more relaxed approach, capturing the events as they unfold, rather than staging shots.
  3. Fine Art: This style is characterized by creative, artistic images that often incorporate unusual angles, lighting, and composition. The photographer usually takes a more editorial approach, crafting images that tell a story and evoke emotion.
  4. Natural/Light and Airy: This style features bright, airy images that emphasize natural light and pastel colors. The photographer usually takes a soft and romantic approach, capturing candid moments in beautiful, natural settings.

So, it's not uncommon for wedding photographers to have a particular style that they specialize in. However, many photographers are capable of shooting in different styles, and some may even blend different styles together to create a unique approach that suits the couple's preferences.

Should we have a first look?

Hi there. I can see lots of couples are having first looks. Is the first look a good idea? What's the best part about having a first look and what would be a reason not to do it, from a photography perspective? Thanks!

Twelve Eleven

A "first look" is a private moment between the couple before the wedding ceremony where they see each other for the first time in their wedding attire. It can be a special and intimate moment, and it allows the couple to have some private time together before the busy wedding day activities.

How to tactfully ask guests not to post any of our wedding photos to socials

What's the best way to handle this request? We really don't want any of our photos shown on social media before we get a chance to do it ourselves. Is this something to include as early as the invitations? Or wait to the ceremony?

Twelve Eleven

During the ceremony it is best to ask the celebrant to politely advise the guest that the whole wedding day is an unplugged wedding meaning no guests are allowed to take photos or post on socials only until the bride and groom post FIRST
