Wedding Packages

McKinlay Photography is pleased to announce we have designed and created an exciting new range of wedding coverages. We understand that no two couples are alike, each couple is totally unique with their requirements and personal style when it comes to their wedding photography.

We do not have strict packages. We allow you to custom design your own wedding package to suit your exact requirements. This assures our service and products meet your needs and budget precisely. Let me sit with you at your convenience to help assist you in creating your own tailor - made package that's totally you.

Lay-by System

This is a free service - No Fees.

Mckinlay Photography has in place a lay-by system for all your wedding photography.

We invite you to use our LAY-BY payment system for your wedding package, albums, prints and framing. We can create a custom made plan to suit your personal budget. This enables you to plan for your photography to be paid over several weeks or months starting before the wedding date, up to three months after the wedding. Please contact the studio and ask for further details if interested in this option.

The Designer Wedding Package includes photographic coverage, all prints / proofs. You have the option available tp upgrade your proofs to 5 x 7 inch size.

This package includes everything the Classic package provides and much more. We visit the groom at home and take some portraits of him, groomsmen and family before he leaves for the church. The key difference with this package is at that the photographer stays for the entire duration of the reception. The beauty of this is, every memorial moment at the reception is captured forever on film. The bridal couples grand entrance, to cutting the cake, family & friends speeches, first dance as husband as wife, dancing with your parents, throwing the bridal bouquet, taking off the brides garter and groom throwing, photo's of family and friends enjoying themselves and the bridal couple saying goodbye to all the bridal guests.

This package includes a professional, fully qualified photographic assistant on your wedding day, their job on the day entails, reloading photographic film, holding large photographic flashes and reflectors (No shadows in Church) carrying equipment etc.

This leaves the photographer to do exactly that, take photographs, never miss a shot by reloading film, it also allows for the photographer to be more creative with the photographs. The assistant helps keep the day and events running smoothly. Many beautiful unique photographs are created with a photographer and the help of their assistant, essentially four hands are better than two.

Extra Options

Pre-wedding shoot with engaged couple

You will receive a pre wedding shoot in your choice of location, friendly studio environment or location of your choice with a complimentary 8 x 12 inch portrait print to display in your reception foyer.

Night Shoot

We offer bridal couples the option for creative and stunning night photography. You may wish to have some beautiful, romantic night shots taken with the warm glow of dusk and Melbourne's scenic city skyline. We know where the best locations are and exactly when is the right time to be there for lighting. Maybe you can picture yourselves on the beach or on a pier with the ocean and a gorgeous sunset.

Your style could be visiting the Paris end of Collins St with all the dazzling lights and grand historic buildings. We are happy to go through all location options with you to help with ideas and planning your wonderful and special day.
