FAQ | Wedding Photography and Videography

Yes! We have a small team of super talented and experienced wedding photographers and videographers based on the Gold Coast and surrounds. The team has slowly grown since 2011 as the demand for our style of work has increased. Currently we have 5 photographers who all shoot in a style which is true to our Figtree aesthetic. We have also recently added 3 videographers to our team whose styles perfectly complement our wedding photography.

Our style is natural and focused on capturing all the joyful and candid moments of your day! We shoot in a documentary style, capturing all of the details in a way that tells your wedding story as it naturally unfolds. We limit our focus on posing and staging images, and concentrate on the real moments that make your day what it is.

We keep our imagery looking as natural and true to life as possible so it’s a true reflection of how the day was.

We only offer videography in conjunction with our photography packages.

Unfortunately RAW (unedited) footage is not available, however we do offer the option to purchase the ceremony and/or speeches footage for an additional fee.

We do not offer RAW images in any of our photography packages.

The ceremony footage we offer as an add on is a 10-30 minute video of your ceremony. This can be purchased prior to the wedding as an additional video to your videography package. A stationary camera is generally positioned at the back of the aisle, and edited with any other footage captured by our videographer. This is raw (unedited) footage.

The speeches footage we offer as an add on is a 20-40 minute video including all your speeches recorded from your wedding. This can be purchased prior to the wedding as an additional video to your videography package. All speeches will be filmed from start to finish, and edited into 1 video. The duration depends on the duration of your speeches formalities. This is raw (unedited) footage.

Generally we’ll choose the music for you.

We care deeply about the films we produce and we use a range of tracks from our library of copyright free music. We’ll use our creative direction to produce a film that reflects your day and pair this with carefully selected music that is also fully licensed for sharing.

Yes! We love using second photographers to capture both partner's preparations, various angles, and a different perspective on the day. A second photographer is especially great for a larger wedding party wedding. Read more about the advantages of a second wedding photographer in our Figtree Guide.

We don’t like to state an exact amount in our package inclusions, as each wedding is unique and there are so many different factors that affect the final number (size of a wedding party, how many guests you have, number of desired family photos, length of time we have for location photos, to name a few!).

However, we generally find that we end up with approximately 700 photos for a full day package with 2 photographers, and approximately 400 photos for a half day package with 2 photographers.

You sure do! We deliver a selection of sneak peek wedding photographs within a week after your wedding day, so you you’ve got something to view and share soon after your wedding day!

At Figtree, our goal is to enhance the beauty of your day without over-stylising or altering the real moments. We focus on adjustments like colour correction, exposure, and fine-tuning the details, but we don’t believe in heavy retouching, as we want your photos to authentically reflect the emotions and atmosphere of your wedding day.

As part of that process, we carefully curate the best images that tell the story of your wedding day. Our selection is based on our professional judgment, ensuring you receive a cohesive gallery that reflects the most meaningful moments. While we don't invite couples to choose specific images for editing, you can trust that we’re selecting the images that best capture the essence of your day, generally only removing images that aren’t worth keeping e.g. people blinking, out of focus, duplicates etc.

We’re a Gold Coast wedding photography studio. Most of our weddings are shot locally around Byron Bay, Tweed Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane; however we also shoot further north around the Sunshine Coast and take on a limited number of destination weddings each year as well.

Nothing makes us happier than seeing your day in print! We offer a variety of fine art wedding photo albums and prints, a beautiful way to display and preserve your wedding memories for a lifetime to come. All prints and albums are available via our online store.
