There are many wedding photographers to choose from in Sydney so it took us a while to narrow down…read moreour choice to Lightheart Photography. We liked their realistic style that wasn't overly dramatic; they captured a more natural look than many of the others. They were always prompt in their replies to our queries and were very helpful in tailoring a customized package for us. Even though we could not visit their office for a consultation, email communication with them was just as effective. My partner and I were very awkward when we first started our engagement photo shoot with Adrian, our photographer. Neither of us had taken professional photos before and had no idea how to pose or smile naturally at the camera. However, Adrian was really friendly and patient which put us at ease. We were worried that the photos would turn out unnatural because of our inexperience but they were perfect. Seeing our photographer for the second time on our wedding day is like seeing a friend instead of a stranger. This helped a lot especially both of us were quite nervous. And again, he was very patient as I had difficulty following his instructions to pose. It was also nice to see him in business casual attire on both occasions. Just a minor detail but it showed professionalism. We had only seen a few sneak previews of our wedding photos and they were absolutely stunning. It was everything we hoped for and then some. We definitely felt fortunate to have chosen Lightheart Photography for the most important day of our lives.

Awful customer service. Stay away from Lightheart Films & Photography at all costs!…read more We booked our engagement and wedding photos with Lightheart, and the overall experience was the worst we had with any wedding vendor we encountered. At our initial consultation meeting we were given the impression the person we were meeting was our photographer. However after we had paid a deposit and booked, whilst confirming timing for our engagement shoot, we were then advised that he not a photographer at all! On the day of our engagement shoot, the photographer sent us a TEXT message a few hours before our meeting time advising he could not make the shoot. He did not bother to call us or even advise the studio. When we called the studio they were completely unaware that our shoot was cancelled. Although they managed to confirm an alternate photographer for us last minute, we were extremely concerned this last minute cancellation could happen on our wedding day as well. To make matters worse, we later enquired about their video service - despite no confirmation or deposit paid for this service they insisted that the booking was confirmed and demanded we pay a cancellation fee because we decided in the end we wanted to go with another vendor for our video. The staff was rude and pressed us multiple times as to why we did not want to go with them instead of respecting our decision. After a series of disorganised, rude, unreliable and unprofessional interactions, we simply did not want to risk using their service for our wedding day so we cancelled our booking - of course, they refused to refund us any of our deposit despite their written apology and admission their service was less than satisfactory. Even more ridiculous, a few days before our wedding their cinematographer still called us to confirm our booking! What a complete joke! We are so glad we went with another vendor. If you want to risk ruining your wedding day or having a photographer not show up, go ahead and book Lightheart Films & Photography. They have also hidden their Facebook reviews because of bad reviews from customers instead of responding professionally.

DO NOT USE SNAPPR PHOTOGRAPHERS. I recently used Snappr for…read morea product shoot of three hours. I told the photographer what to do. I gave him props - which he did not use. I used a mannequin to model the jewelry - he cut off the top of the mannequin and he positioned the earrings too far apart. He used shocking backgrounds where the colour did not match the jewelry. He's put black beads on a black mannequin - what professional photographer would do that ? The photos are completely unuseable after shelling out $500. Their response to this situation has been as bad as the photos - hopeless. It's taken them weeks to decide to give me a $30 refund or a $50 voucher - as if I would use them again. This behaviour is exactly the same as the Chinese scammers who send you product that's not remotely like the photographs advertising the product and then when you tell them you want a refund, it takes weeks to get any type of offer to resolve the situation and when they do decide to do something they offer you $30 and they tell you how lucky you are to be able to keep the product - which of course you don't want. The behaviour of Snappr is exactly the same model of scamming. Additionally, I rescheduled the shoot a week before it was booked in and they charged me $20 for that - the same scammy, ridiculous, rip off behaviour.

When we got a photo shoot as a present from my aunt, I thought what do I want with getting photos…read moretaken right? What would I even do with the pictures? I held off right until the last minute before booking in one weekend. To be honest I was a bit nervous, the last time I had professional photos must have been in highschool and you know how those turn out. Anyway we had the photos at Bicentennial Park, I'm sure I've been past there so many times. It was surprisingly relaxed, and I didn't have to pose or smile at the camera as I had expected. We played some games and just walked around a bit. It was really more like a date in the park (haven't had one of those in a while). We had to wait a few weeks to see the photos and we loved them and ended up buying extra photos on top of our gift! I'll say it wasn't cheap but I just loved the expressions we had they were so magazine like! Well it's an experience I'm sure we both won't forget.

Strapped for a passport photo? It's unbelievable how it always seems to be expired when you need…read moreit - at least 6 months before you travel apparently. Usually you'd expect a post-office to be able to help you out, but this time they couldn't. Luckily I didn't have to travel miles to get a decent one because this Just Photos store was just next door to my GPO in Mortdale. Just as the name suggests, the store specialises in photos. But you'd be surprised how far a photo will stretch; you can get your face printed on almost anything nowadays, from canvas prints and calendars, to growth charts and mouse pads. They also have personal Kodak booths where you can easily transfer photos from whatever device you have and edit them too. Then you can ask them to print it for you straight from the booth. It's standard technology nowadays (and quite fun to play around with, I will admit), but we've come a long way from developing photos off those finicky camera film rolls. As for the passport photos, the picture itself was literally snappy (sit down, don't smile, click!) that it took about ten minutes to process. I was out of there before I had a chance to order in a mug for my dad with my face on it. It only cost me $13 for four prints (that's $3.25) which might seem a bit expensive for a piece of paper, but considering the rules for today's passport police, you'd best get it done by the experts.
