Planning your wedding can be incredibly overwhelming when you are looking at vendors and pricing - there’s almost too many options! My aim is to make the process as easy as possible for you, simple packages with simple add ons, and full transparency so you know exactly what you are paying right from the start. To lock in your wedding, a $250 deposit is required to secure the date, and the remaining balance is due 1 month before your wedding. If you are unsure what type of coverage you need, that’s totally fine as well! You can make a decision closer to the day once all the timelines and venue plans have been cemented. Sound good?
Let’s get to the pricing!

You’ll receive a sneak peek of around 30-40 images within 24-48 hours of your wedding. From there, it takes me roughly 6-8 weeks to edit a full wedding. Sometimes less, depending where I am in the season, but you’ll always be in the loop and I’ll send little updates as I’m progressing.
-
I also hate getting my photo taken so understand the trepidation! But on the day you’ll so be high on vibes so I promise you won’t even think twice! My style of photography is 90% candid documentary, and during the portraits I have some fun and heartfelt prompts to help you guys relax and get beautiful images. you won’t even feel like you’re ‘posing’, but you’ll be gently guided and then you can get back to the party with your loved ones!
-
Travel around all of Sydney, the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains is included in the above package prices. Travel to the Hunter Valley and South Coast is a flat fee of $300. Additional travel outside of this will incur a fee (depending on how far, if I have to fly or get accommodation etc) - send me an email for a more thorough quote!
-
Life happens when we least expect it and while I do everything within my power to capture your wedding day, if an emergency happens I have protocols in place to ensure your day will be captured no matter what. I have a network of talented photographers who I can call upon if something ever did prevent me from shooting your wedding. I would edit your wedding as normal.
As a wedding photographer I have invested in back up gear and insurances, so I’m always covered if something dramatic occurs during the day. This includes insurance for myself, and public liability.
-
Absolutely you can! If you want specific hours, or the half/full day doesn’t work with what you have in mind for coverage, please reach out and I will do up a custom quote for you.
-
I offer engagement sessions as an add on (as some people aren’t keen on them, so don’t want to force it on you). But they are a really beautiful way to connect before your wedding and for you guys to get comfy with me and my camera. For all wedding clients, my rom-com style engagement sessions are discounted to $400 which include an hour session and all edited images.
-
Nothing makes me happier than creating tangible art pieces out of your images, and albums for you to have forever. Once your gallery has been delivered, I’ll send through the album and print options for you to have a look through.
-
Please! I generally have a zoom prior to booking so we can actually see each other in person, and then have a face to face meeting 1-2 months prior to your wedding. We can go for dinner, a drink, a coffee - whatever you like! You can also reach out to me as many times as you need over the planning process, if we need to have multiple meetings that’s 100% fine!
Love Letters
We could not recommend Brooke any higher. She was incredible to work with and we ended up with the most amazing photos of our special day. Super easy going and a true ninja, and just making everyone feel so comfortable. She travelled down to the southern highlands to capture our wedding, and made everything so easy and fun. Thanks for capturing these incredible memories!!
Lachlan + JulietteBrooke was absolutely phenomenal. She captured exactly what we were looking for which was candid and not forced photos showing the love we have for each other and our families. My husband and I aren’t fond of a camera but she made us feel right at home and completely at ease together and with her. She made the whole experience seamless and wonderful. Couldn’t recommend her more.
Jess + ShaneI cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Hello Heartstrings. Prior to our wedding, Brooke checked in with me regularly and helped me plan everything from a photography perspective. On the day itself she arrived at my house early and slotted so easily into the wedding prep chaos! She took wonderful pictures of my sisters and I getting ready and the most special pictures of my two children who were 2 and 6 months. Later that night (and after shooting our wedding all day!), Our pictures are everything that I hoped they would be. Brooke captured our magical and dreamy day perfectly.
Cat + AlexWhat really set Brooke apart was how comfortable she made us feel. Neither my husband nor I are naturals in-front of the camera but Brooke turned every moment in to a laugh, a hug or a spontaneous dance move. We literally just felt like we were hanging out with an old time friend who just happened to be a photography wizard. Her communication was flawless - from the first email to the final gallery delivery, Brooke kept us informed, excited and totally stress free. She even sent us sneak peaks before we got to having a slice of the leftover wedding cake!
Ruth + BlakeWorking with Brooke was just the most magical experience. Not only is she an amazing person, she made it so easy for 2 people who really don’t love getting their photos taken, it was relaxed and comfortable, Brooke never made it awkward. Her photos of our day were just perfect with a great mixture of candid and posed ones. The day was captured beautifully with memories that will last a lifetime.
Belinda + PaulWe honestly cannot say enough good things about Brooke – she is an absolute gem and the best decision we made for our wedding day. From our very first meeting, Brooke made us feel completely at ease. She has this calm, professional energy paired with a warm, down-to-earth personality that instantly made us trust her with one of the most important days of our lives. She caught the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances, and the wild dance floor shots with such skill and artistry. We had our children at our wedding and she was able to capture some stunning shots of our family that we will cherish forever.
