Want to know more????
one2one photography was initially established by twin brothers Steve and Pete May in the UK back in 1997. They started with a blank sheet of paper and asked what was right with the photography industry, but more importantly what was wrong with it. Also, what was it that wedding couples wanted from a modern wedding photographer? You wanted modern, documentary based photographic images and you also wanted all of YOUR digital negatives - why not, we would.

This ethos is why we chose one2one to work with here in Australia. Furthermore, we also know that many photographers operate their businesses owning the full copyrights to YOUR photographs indefinitely. In fact, many professional photography associations discourage their members from giving up any form of copyright. We think that this is fundamentally wrong and provide all one2one customers with all the photographs that we capture on their very important day. We provide the full sized edited digital files without reduction, each image file often as large as 10-12MB in size.

Our style.......to capture what we see, not change it!
one2one photography aims to be at the forefront of wedding photography, leading not following. As time moves on, we know that the wedding couples that seek us out are wanting something different from the traditional wedding photography that has been accepted for many years. Our clients are those that want the ultimate in photography for their wedding day. We report what we see, we are not at your wedding to change it, improve it, stage it or fictionalize it in anyway.

People are at their best when they are not thinking about photography, we are there to capture the moments not the formal stuff. We use longer 200mm lenses to preclude us from our subjects from being actively aware of what we are doing and to be unseen, unheard and not the objects of their reactions. This style of photography is often referred to as wedding photojournalism.

Many couples often say to us that their wedding day went by so quickly it was like a blur!!! 'Wedding photojournalism' is designed to tell the story of your wedding day with pictures. We painstakingly place every photograph, sometimes as many 1000+ photographs, in time order to re-tell the story and events that happened throughout your day, some of which you will have missed.

So what's the cost to buy the negatives?
Your digital negatives are included in the prices advertised on this website. We don't want to keep your photographs, let's face it, you will have employed us to capture your photographs, not keep them. All our couples receive every photographic image that we capture copied to a DVD or CD.

Pre wedding consultation
We
actively encourage all of our prospective couples to come and have an informal chat with us prior to any potential booking. We can then discuss your venues, timings and the style of photography you expect from us - to make sure your wishes are fulfilled. This time together provides us the opportunity to meet you and more importantly, for you to meet us.

One wedding booking a day - quality control
We will only ever take one wedding booking each day for each of our photographers, and it will only ever be Frank or Steve (from NZ) - we do not nor will not employ anyone freelance. At the height of the wedding season we can call in our overseas photographers to help with demand here in Australia, and we do this every year. If we do offer you this option it will only ever be one of our qualified photographers who will capture your day. Why do we do this??? On the 16th of February 2008, we completed 6 weddings in NZ. one2one photographers arrived in New Zealand from the UK, Canada and Australia to help out. We like to help our couples and we value our reputation that much that we prefer to fly one2one photographers in from the other side of the world, than employ a freelance for the day - that's how much we value customer service and the work a one2one photographer will produce.

 

our digital darkroom Melbourne, Australia

 
Our digital darkroom
We
have truly embraced digital photography, digital editing and digital retouching. We have invested in the latest Canon EOS 1D digital equipment, purpose built computers, large twin digital screens and in our opinion, use the best digital retouching software currently available - Adobe Photoshop CS 3. By mastering this software, we have a reputation of true technical wizards in our digital darkrooms. We can of course provide whatever you want, colour, black & white, sepia or a combination of them all. When you receive your photographs, you may prefer to have certain images changed further, if so simply let us know - or pop by and see us, and we will make the necessary changes for you while you wait without further cost.

Online wedding album
We do not think it is right for other people to see your pictures before you do, especially if you are on honeymoon without access to a computer. Our website is designed to allow you to view your images anywhere in the world. We will provide you with a password, giving you the opportunity to see your photos first, even whilst you are on honeymoon!

Professional lighting
Another consideration often over looked when booking a photographer is lighting. Without good lighting equipment we just cannot shoot - simple as. Some wedding venues have tall ceilings which require professional lighting to obtain that perfect exposure. At one2one we have found an overwhelming need to own and carry professional lighting at all times.
