Pre-Wedding Photography
An hour somewhere that's yours, with no aisle and no audience.

Spend the hour settling into being photographed, and we'll get to know the small ways you are together.
When the wedding day arrives, the camera is already familiar, and so are we.
An hour somewhere that's yours, with no aisle and no audience. Get used to the camera before the day, meet the people who'll photograph it, and come away with photographs you'll want to frame. From $490.
Hannah and Josh, an afternoon in Melbourne
Carlton Gardens, Parliament House, the river and a vintage Mercedes, in one session.
Golden hour at Port Willunga
Sayuri and Shuto on the clifftop and the beach on their wedding day, the kind of light a session can be planned around.

Four ways to do it
Choose one hour or two, photography only or photography with video. Every session is cheaper when it's added to a wedding collection, and the price with a collection is simply the price, not a limited offer.
What you come away with
Photographs made for sharing: an announcement, your save the dates, a frame for the hallway. Add a guest book and your pre-wedding photos become the book your guests sign on the day.
Hannah and Josh used their session to make something that felt like a film still: black tie, calla lilies, Carlton Gardens and the colonnade at Parliament House. See their session.

★★★★★
We had such a great experience with Jay Chubby Wedding. My partner and I were part of a pre-wedding shoot, and the whole process was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, gave just the right amount of direction, and the photos turned out incredible. You can really see the care and attention to detail in their work. Highly recommend to any couple looking for wedding photography that feels both professional and personal.
Questions couples ask
What's the difference between the sessions?
The Connection is one hour of photography. The Connection Extended is two hours, with time for two locations and an outfit change. The Duo versions add a videographer, so you get photographs and a short film from the same session.
Why is it cheaper with a wedding collection?
When we're already photographing your wedding, the session is planned alongside it and costs less to produce. That's simply its price with a collection, not a limited offer.
Can we use the photos for our save the dates?
Yes. Pre-wedding photos are made for sharing: announcements, save the dates and a guest book for the day.
What's the guest book?
Your pre-wedding photos bound into a book for guests to sign on the day. To have it ready in time, the session needs to happen at least six weeks before the wedding.
Where do sessions happen?
Anywhere that means something to you. City streets, gardens, the beach or the place you first met. Hannah and Josh chose Carlton Gardens, Parliament House and a vintage Mercedes.
What should we wear?
Whatever you feel most like yourselves in. Colours that sit well together rather than match, shoes you can walk in between spots, and a second outfit if your session has time for a change, as The Connection Extended does.
