Wedding Photography
Natural, cinematic wedding photography from a small team in Adelaide and Melbourne.
As featured on
Weddings happen once.
The flowers wilt, the cake gets eaten, and the day moves faster than anyone expects. What's left at the end of it is the people who showed up, the moments between the speeches, and the photographs.
We take that seriously because we have to. There are no second takes.
Natural, cinematic wedding photography from a small team in Adelaide and Melbourne. We show up early, keep out of the way when something real is happening, and deliver your full gallery within 3 weeks.

How we work
We work the way we'd want our own day captured. That means arriving early, knowing your timeline before you do and keeping out of the way when something real is happening.
You won't be wrangled into ninety minutes of stiff group portraits. We get the family photos done quickly so you can get back to your guests, then step back and let the day unfold. The photos that end up meaning the most are usually the ones nobody noticed us taking.
We shoot in natural light when we can, use off-camera flash when we need to, and don't run filters that will look dated in five years.
Save up to $1,980 when you book photo and video together
One team covering both, from $2,490. Compared with booking photography and videography separately.
In both cities
Melbourne The city, the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula and the Dandenong Ranges, from CBD weddings at the Royal Exhibition Building to vineyard receptions at Stones of the Yarra Valley. See Melbourne wedding photography.
Adelaide Smaller venues, more intimate guest counts and some of the best vineyard backdrops in the country, across the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa, McLaren Vale and the city. See Adelaide wedding photography.
Why couples choose us
We're not the cheapest, and we're not trying to be. We're also not an agency that hands your wedding to whoever is free that weekend.
Jay Chubby Wedding is a small team of photographers and videographers brought together by one creative direction. Every wedding is matched with the right people, and the editing and storytelling are guided by Jay. Your wedding stays personal and consistent without taking anything away from the person behind the camera.
Every collection includes a planning call before the day and help with your timeline, so the photo windows you care about are protected. Your gallery arrives online with high-resolution downloads and personal print and social media rights.
Photography packages
Four photography collections, from three hours to twelve. Every collection includes a planning call before the day and travel within 50 km of the CBD.

★★★★★
Jay was an absolute professional. We loved how he set out a time line of our day and made it all so easy. Also loved the contrast of the black and white to the colour pictures. The sneak peek shortly after the day was a lovely touch. Thank you Jay and Megan.
Questions couples ask
How far ahead do couples book?
For peak season, October to April, most couples book 9 to 16 months ahead. Dates closer in can still be free, but spring and summer Saturdays go quickly.
Can we book photography and videography together?
Yes. You get one coordinated team that already knows how to share angles, light and timing, and it costs less than booking separately. Photo and video collections start at $2,490.
Do you work in both Adelaide and Melbourne?
Yes, with local teams in both cities. For larger weddings or multi-day events the teams can travel and combine.
How many photos will we receive?
From 200+ for three hours to 900+ for twelve. We don't deliver unedited files. You receive the strongest images, all of them fully edited.
What's the difference between photography and videography?
Photography keeps moments as still images. Videography keeps motion, sound and pacing, including your vows in your own voices. Most couples choose both because they tell different parts of the same story.
How quickly will our gallery arrive?
A sneak peek within 48 hours, and your complete gallery within 3 weeks, often sooner.
Can we add 35mm film?
Yes. The 35mm Touch adds real 35mm film alongside your digital coverage from $290, or you can have your whole day on analog film. See 35mm film wedding photography.
Do you photograph registry weddings and elopements?
Yes, in Adelaide and Melbourne. The Elopement collection's three hours suit a registry ceremony with portraits in the city afterwards. See photography packages.
