Melbourne Wedding Photography Packages — What’s Included & How to Choose the Right One for You

When planning your wedding, finding the perfect photography package can feel overwhelming. With so many options and prices across Melbourne, how do you know what’s truly right for your day?

At Nova Photography, we’ve designed our Melbourne wedding photography packages to suit every couple — whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a grand ballroom celebration. In this guide, we’ll break down what’s typically included, how to compare packages, and what to look for before booking.

1. Understanding What’s in a Photography Package

A wedding photography package should give you a clear picture (literally and figuratively) of what you’re paying for. While every studio differs, here’s what most quality Melbourne packages include:

• Coverage Hours: Usually between 6–14 hours. Think of it as the story length of your wedding day.
• Edited High-Resolution Photos: Fully retouched and ready for print — no watermarks.
• Online Gallery or USB Delivery: We provide both.
• Prints & Enlargements: Optional but beautiful to have as tangible keepsakes.
• Travel Within Melbourne Metro: Included with all Nova Photography packages.
• Optional Add-ons: Engagement sessions, albums, second shooter, drone footage, or videography.

2. Choosing the Right Package for Your Day

Your ideal package depends on three main things: coverage, priorities, and pace.

• 6-Hour Coverage: Perfect for small weddings or elopements. Covers preparations, ceremony, family photos, and a short photo shoot.
• 8-Hour Coverage: Our most popular package — ideal for a standard Melbourne wedding day including bride/groom prep, ceremony, photoshoot, and part of the reception.
• 10–12 Hours: Great for larger weddings, cultural events, or multiple venues.
• Full Day / Custom: For multi-day celebrations or extended cultural ceremonies (e.g., Indian, Greek, Lebanese weddings).

At Nova Photography, we offer flexible coverage options — meaning you can extend hours or combine photo and video for better value.

3. Comparing Prices & Value

When comparing Melbourne wedding photography packages, look beyond the numbers. A lower quote doesn’t always mean better value — it might mean fewer hours, less editing, or less experienced photographers.

Here’s what affects pricing:

• Photographer experience & reputation
• Second shooter or assistant included
• Editing quality & delivery time
• Print or album inclusions
• Travel and equipment costs

💡 Pro tip: Always check what’s not included — like travel fees outside metro Melbourne, extra hours, or album upgrades.

4. Questions to Ask Before Booking

To make sure you’re getting the right package for your needs, ask:

• How many edited photos are included?
• Do you offer both photography and videography in one package?
• Can we upgrade our package later?
• What’s your turnaround time for photos and videos?
• Do you charge travel fees for Yarra Valley / Mornington Peninsula weddings?
