If you are truly happy with their work just give them some praise.
I personally much prefer a compliment over money.
Tips are not expected. I have worked in the States and even over there tips are not expected.
I think a big hug and compliment on the photographer's work worths much more than a tip.
Hiya :)
I honestly wouldn't bother, we don't roll that way :)
Hi
Goodness we don’t expect tips

Hey there!! Us Aussies don't expect tips at all! If you really wanted to say an extra special thanks, then a nice bottle of wine wouldn't go astray ;) I hope you have a fab wedding down under! Bec
I have been a wedding photographer since 1991, over the years I have been given nice bottles of Scotch, Chivas Regal, JW Green label, never has anyone handed me money as a tip. If tipping is in your nature, give a nice bottle of alcohol, that would go down really well.
Hello!
It's not customary to tip in Australia, you will only be required to pay the price you have been quoted =)

LOL, we really dont expect any tips. If you have a blast with your photographer and their work exceeds your expectations, I'm sure they wouldn't be upset to recieve a bottle of Scotch (Single malt) or nice wine! ;) Have a great wedding (Wish all our clients were from the US! ;) )
