Liz Barnes Photo

Melbourne is home, but I’m very happy to pack a bag. I photograph weddings across Australia and overseas, from New York to Italy and wherever the next celebration calls. I’m currently taking bookings for Europe from May to July 2027. If you have a date and destination in mind, reach out and I can create a custom quote.

The day is yours, and my aim is always to photograph it as it truly happens. That means creating enough ease and warmth for everyone to forget they’re being photographed in the first place. I’ll guide portraits, wrangle a group photo and gently direct when needed, but my approach is mostly rooted in documentary. I’m there to recognise the moments that will mean the most, not fabricate them.

Yes. Film photography is included in my top package and can be added to others. A lot of the work you’ll see across my website and Instagram was shot on film, and those frames have a habit of becoming favourites. Analogue photography has its own softness, colour and depth that digital just does differently, so if you’re especially drawn to that imagery, I’d take that as a sign.

It starts with an enquiry. If I'm available for your date, I'll send through my investment guide and we can jump on a video call to talk through the day, answer any questions and get to know each other. If it feels right from there, I’ll send through your quote, contract and invoice. Once those are sorted, you’re officially in the diary.

Yes, and it’s one of my favourite parts of this work. Photos tend to mean more with time, so I feel incredibly lucky to not only capture them but help them turn into something that will be picked up and passed around over the years. You can explore albums through the Store on my website. I’m always here to help with sizing, design and where to begin.
