Unique Wedding Photography With Leading Sydney Wedding Photographers

We love weddings – they’re the stuff dreams are made of.

Amazing Moments, Beautiful Wedding Photography

Starting with the proposal, a twinkle in the eye of your fiancé, and the promise of forever – through to the actual wedding day, the stunning ceremony and reception locations and beautiful wedding photography…

With Israel Smith Photographers, your wedding experience will be one filled with amazing moments and emotive memories.

A Part Of Your Family You Simply Haven’t Met Yet

You’ll discover that working with us is like being welcomed into a part of your family that you simply haven’t met yet. We want your wedding photography experience to be the most beautiful, relaxed, enjoyable and stress-free part of planning your wedding.

Bridal photography has a reputation for being tense, awkward and driven by over-zealous photographers who control and interfere in the wedding day itself. Not so with our studio.

Experience Our Unique Wedding Photography

Our unique wedding photography style gives you the freedom to enjoy your wedding day without a second thought about your wedding photography. We don’t pose our couples, instead preferring to find the right angles and moments to tell your story without directing it.

Documentary Wedding Photography

We often use the term “documentary” when describing our wedding photographs – simply put, we are present to document the emotion, the expressions, the love, and the excitement you and your guests feel as you all journey through your wedding together.

Attention To Detail & Expertise Second To None

We give you and your plans the same care and attention to detail that we would give to our own wedding day, with the added benefit that we’ve been there a couple hundred times before, and can draw on that experience to help your day go smoothly and easily.

• Our Customer Courtesy Angels are always on hand to help take care of the little details, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
• Our Team Photographers will let you be yourself, give you the most special experience you can dream of, and capture you looking and feeling the happiest you’ve ever been.
• Our Digital Artists and Production Team will hand-craft your finished wedding artworks to the highest standards in the industry.

After all, forever is a long time.

Wedding Photography That Spans Generations

On the day, you make a commitment to love each other forever. By using the highest quality materials we can find, your wedding album is designed to last forever, so your memories of the day can stay with you as you journey through life together. Your wedding artworks will become family heirlooms to give your children, who in turn will show their children.

Fashionable vs Classic & Timeless?

A growing trend in the wedding photography industry is to shoot fashion-inspired “vogue” or “glamour” images of weddings, making brides & grooms look like they stepped straight out of a glossy magazine. While these images take technical skill and look very exciting, our experience is that these images date very quickly and look very “of the time” when they were shot.

Instead, our unique wedding photography approach is to capture documentary photographs that are based around universal themes: love, family, connection, excitement, happiness. By focussing on these themes, our images are relevant and beautiful whether only 10 seconds old, or 10 years old.

Relaxed, Real Moments of LOVE

Because we photograph real moments of emotion and love at weddings, you can rest assured that your bridal photography will always feel relaxed and easygoing, and bring your emotions and stories of your wedding day rushing back.

Some photographers shoot for how things look. We shoot for how they feel.

Come and meet with us. We’d love to help you remember your wedding day the best way we know how – by Illuminating Lives.

What can we say? Tegan and Andrew’s day had a vintage style to it  but it was a PARTY all the way. And this was exactly how they planned it.  They described the theme of their wedding as “Urban Black & White  Cocktail PARTY (Party in capitals because we really wanted a party-vibe  rather than [...]   Read more »
