Your wedding day, moment by moment

From the last button of the dress to the last song of the night, these are the moments we keep for you.

01

Getting ready

The nerves, the laughter, a mother's hands on the last button.

We arrive early, while the room is still quiet, and keep the little details you will want to remember.

02

First look

The moment you see each other for the first time, before anyone else does.

We stay close enough to catch the reaction and far enough to let it be yours.

Your first photos as a married couple, just the two of you.

We guide you, then let you be yourselves, wherever the light is best.

Ceremony

The walk down the aisle, the vows, the faces in the front row.

We stay discreet and catch the tears, the laughs and the first kiss without getting in the way.

Wedding photography FAQ

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

As soon as you have your date and venue. Popular dates in high season are booked many months ahead.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Our wedding packages go from 1 to 8 hours of photo and film coverage. For the ceremony alone, 1 to 2 hours is enough. To capture everything from getting ready to the first dance, choose 6 to 8 hours.

Do you also have wedding videographers?

Yes. Our filmmakers film your day alongside your photographer, from a cinematic wedding film to short reels to share, with drone footage if you would like it.

When will we receive our photos and film?

For coverage of 5 hours or more, your sneak peek arrives 2 to 5 days after the wedding, your full gallery 2 to 3 weeks after, and your wedding film within 1 month.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. Wherever you are getting married, tell us where and when, and we will bring a DreamArt photographer and filmmaker to you.

Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

Of course. Every love story is different, and every couple is welcome.

What if it rains on our wedding day?

Your venue will have a backup location, and rain in the tropics usually passes quickly. Grey skies give soft, beautiful light, and we adapt to make the most of every moment.
