Often asked ‘why are you a wedding photographer?’

Short answer – because through photography we can make people happy. 

Long answer – We are naturally people pleasers, having been married for 10 years ourselves we value just how important it is to have life’s milestones not just captured but captured beautifully. We had wonderful photography of our wedding and since then of both of our beautiful children and we literally see these images in our home every day and know how much joy it can bring.

With a wealth of experience from photographing thousands of weddings within Brisbane and the occasional overseas adventure in there too, we have the skillset to keep the wedding day fluid and capture beautiful wedding images in every situation.

Weddings are predictable in the sense that two people will turn up to the same place, say some words, sign some paper and have a party. They are also so unpredictable, there are so many variables, some within our control but many that aren’t.  This is where the value of Sterling Studios experience is.
