Stories worth
remembering forever
Wedding photography & film for couples who want more than photographs — they want a feeling.
The Studio
Wollongong's most intimate wedding studio
We are a husband-and-wife photography and film studio based on the NSW South Coast. Our approach is simple — we disappear into your day, observing the real moments, the quiet ones, the ones you won't remember until you see them again.
We believe the best wedding photography is never posed. It's found. Serving Wollongong, Sydney, the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, and beyond.
"Every wedding is a film waiting to be made."

Our Approach
How we work
We don't believe in directing your day. We believe in understanding it — your people, your light, your rhythm — and then getting out of the way.
01
Documentary First
Real moments, never manufactured. We move through your day like guests — observant, present, unobtrusive.
02
Cinematic Film
From teaser reels to full-length films, our videography is crafted with a director's eye and an editor's care.
03
Film & Super 8
Analogue film adds warmth, grain, and permanence. We offer 35mm, 120mm, and Super 8 for couples who love the timeless look.
Couples
What they say
The highest honour is when a couple tells us they forgot we were there — and then cried when they saw the film.
★★★★★
"We completely forgot they were there — and somehow they captured everything. Our film makes us cry every single time. Worth every single cent."
Emily & Mitch · Wollongong, Nov 2024
★★★★★
"We added Super 8 last minute and I'm so glad we did. That footage is unlike anything else — it already feels like a family heirloom."
Aleksia & Mitch · October 2023
★★★★★
""The photos are beyond anything I could have hoped for. Documentary, candid, beautiful. I've already referred two friends — both now booked for 2025."

about us
A studio built on
real love stories
Velvet Wattle is a husband-and-wife creative studio based in Wollongong on the NSW South Coast. We started this because we believed wedding photography could be something else entirely — quieter, more honest, more emotional.
We've photographed and filmed over 100 weddings across the Illawarra, Sydney, the Highlands, and beyond. We still treat every single one like it's the first.
Photography · Cinematic Film · Super 8 · 35mm & 120mm · Drone · Engagement Sessions. Available worldwide.
