Best. Experience. Ever! I travelled a fair distance to have…read moremy vintage pinup and boudoir session with Pearl Davies after loving her work for years. She was living in the United States so it was difficult to book in but now she's back it's easy. I stayed at her new retro revival themed short stay The Atomic Hideaway at the time of my session so did t need to worry about accommodation. This is the complete package. Her photo prints and products are to die for and I just highly recommend her and all she does. I went on a pre-session payment plan which got me bonuses too and I just love the way in which she operates. Book yourself in today!

Mark James Photography is an excellent choice! He produces very high quality images and offers…read moreaffordable options. Mark conducts all aspects of his practice with a warmth and professionalism which really helped us relax. We knew we didn't need to worry about a thing- he'd though of everything. Mark appreciated how special and intimate the day was for us and he allowed us to be ourselves, while snapping all the best parts! He caught our vision for our big day with open arms and captured this beautifully in his work. As an artist I'm keenly aware of colour and form and I felt he really respected the original moment even in his editing. We were ecstatic with the shots and instantly go back to our special day every time we look at them! Years after the wedding it is so wonderful to know that our photographs are safe and archivally sound and will stand the test of time because they were taken with such care. Thanks Mark, you captured our day perfectly! - Gavin and Amelia

We felt it was the perfect balance of our input, with step-by-step professional guidance that made the whole process enjoyable, simple and stress-free. Julie went over everything with us before our wedding day. The rehearsal with her beforehand was invaluable and meant that everyone knew what they were doing on the actual day. Julie was fun, confident and engaging. Our guests all raved about her!! I would highly recommend Julie to be part of your special day.

Take a woman who for the past 15 years has collected photo booths, vintage photography bits and…read morebobs and general retro paraphernalia. Introduce it to the Renew Newcastle project which offers such endeavours a temporary shop frontage or office to make use of empty spaces and you have yourself Strip of a Lifetime. I'd read about this vintage darling on a recent Design Files blog article and when visiting Newcastle knew I had to stop in. Amongst Paula's collection is a fully-operational photo booth which she gladly opened up for us to see the in-built dark room for processing of those important moments in time. For $8 you get a photo booth strip of 4 photos and plenty of laughs in the creation of said photo strip. There's also a makeshift shelf wall (made of old draws) that contains various vintage finds like an old bible, spectacles, cameras, stove-top espresso makers and much more. I think you can hire these out (as well as the photo booths) for events. They also host regular events in the space for photographers and artists alike. It's a store with a story and Paula is so warm and friendly I really felt like taking advantage of the kitchen table in the middle of the room, buying her a cup of tea and just having a chin-wag with a new friend.

It is always a tense time hiring someone with whom you have no prior experience. We have all had…read morethe sad occasion of hiring someone based on reviews and then discovering they really are not all that seemed to be. That is NOT the case with David and Mallee Blue Media.
