I met Alan Moyle of Photobat almost a year ago, when we were seated together at an event he was…read morecapturing. We got to talking and I had a look at his portfolio work as he had his iPad handy. From his wedding photography to portrait work with Australia's top comedians, I was immediately taken by his photos and knew right there and then that should marriage or family photos ever be in my future plans - Alan would be the guy I'd hire. His wedding photography is beautiful, but anyone that can capture 'funny' knows how to show personality in photos, and that's what I was really impressed by. Since then, I've worked with him on numerous occasions through Yelp events that he's shot for me, but this review is for my personal experience with hiring him for photos to announce our elopement. Alan treats his clients like his friends. It's not just me, that's how he is, he cares. Which means he's never afraid to have a joke with you and he'll never let you look ugly in photos. I couldn't stand the idea of a cheesy portrait shoot holding hands on the beach, so Alan helped us come up with something really fun and cheeky that was more 'us'. We're both pretty awkward when it comes to getting our photo taken, but you wouldn't know it from the pics we ended up with. Our family absolutely adore the pics and were thrilled to receive them - which definitely helped with breaking the news that we got married in secret! Having hired him for this moment I can see why he talks about his clients like friends and why they like having him there for all the big moments all the way through (marriage, kids portraits etc).

For as long as I can remember I dislike having my photo taken. That one on one intimate space…read moreinvasion kinda freaks me out. The tidious time of moving a leg here, raising the chin, lowering your left ear... The list goes on. So when it came time to have professional business style photos taken I knew that we couldn't go past Alan for his friendly and supportive manner and more importantly his efficient and professional service. Alan was an absolute delight to work with. We had three directors from very different backgrounds and very different expectations. Despite my reassurances most had blocked out a good two hours to get these photos completed. Within minutes Alan had people smiling, photos taken and worries washed away. The images we received within days of our photo shoot. Should the big W day ever come my way I'll be making sure Alan is there. Even if it means the dates are set around his schedule.

Terrence and his 2nd shooter always give an accurate, full portrayal of an event or moment in time that I treasure. Communication is easy and timely, their demeanor is professional and friendly and of course, the photos are terrific.

With all the planning we did for our Wedding I was most concerned with finding the "right"…read morephotographer as I knew in years time it's our photos we would look back on to remember our day...and I had a very certain look and feel I wanted for my photos. After seeing Simon's website and then meeting with him I knew he was EXACTLY what I wanted and more!!! Simon has an amazing gift of capturing each special moment throughout the day in the most beautiful photos. Simon made taking all the photos as stress free and painless as possible and he made everyone feel at ease with his great sense of humour and easy going nature. Simon was very professional throughout the entire process even when I had a few "Bride-zilla" moments!! Our dog even fell in love with Simon and loved him taking her photo during the morning when the bridal party was getting prepared! For what you get Simon's prices are very reasonable (don't tell him that!!) and now 6 months on I don't even remember the exact costs/details BUT I do know how much we and everyone that has seen them... LOVE our wedding photos. Thanks again Simon!!!! I will continue to recommend you to all my engaged friends without hestiation or any doubt!!!! Patience, Chris and of course Dusty.

You know that feeling you get when you find an old photo? .... and it just brings back the moment?…read moreThe feelings, the place, the smells, the sounds, even the people you were with? When our wedding photos arrived from Simon we were just taken back to our special day - from leaving the house (and the realisation my father had left his flies down!!) to the lovely old church, to my husbands (I love that word - husband) parents' beautiful garden and finally to the reception in our garden. We could remember every moment, every detail, through Simon's fantastic story in pictures and we laughed and we cried all over again .... All our friends and family thought Simon was a relative of mine from the UK because he just was a part of our day and as a result everyone just relaxed and enjoyed it. We have wonderful memories of our happiest day together so far and we know in the future when we find an old photo it will take us back to that day and that moment and no doubt we will laugh or cry all over again... Thank you Simon x R and S December 2013

I needed to update my headshot and a friend recommended Ramona Lever of Branding Headshots in…read moreHoppers Crossing. Ramona was at the door to welcome me at exactly my appointment time. She was so warm and friendly and she and her makeup artist both put me at ease right away, which I really appreciated as I'm camera shy and not comfortable posing. I loved how she made me laugh throughout the session and how she kept up a stream of constructive comments about the colours that looked best and the poses that worked. I got the feeling that she really loves what she does and she's fully committed to making every client feel special. The shots were beautifully done and helped me shine with no need for words. I will definitely be recommending Ramona's services to my friends.
