This is possibly one of the biggest decisions you are ever going to make...other than saying yes! Choosing your wedding photography and videography isn't meant to be taken lightly and there are a myriad of things to take into account. However, our extensive experience shooting weddings across Australia (over 700 to date) has taught us that all weddings have one thing in common and that is connection. Connection between the couple, connection between guests, vendors and venue. Ultimately we've seen that a smooth stress free day really comes down to how good your connections are. Connection allow things to flow smoothly, for a sense of calm to prevail and should the worst happen, for crisis to be managed without disruption to your special day.

So while we know we have pretty photos, our main focus is connection. So don't choose us based on price (although they are pretty good prices) choose us on connection. Meet with us, tell us about your day and see if we connect, because I guarantee that is a fail safe way to avoid disappointment and to make sure you receive a gallery & video that will continue to bring back all the memories throughout the years to come.

So, Who are We?

Hi there! It's Carolyn and Alex here and we're so happy you've landed on this page and are taking the time to read this! The last 5 years have been a hectic whirlwind of weddings and photography and videography for us both as we mutally ran a large wedding business that serviced Australia wide. We had a large team and it wasn't unusual to be shooting over 40 weddings a month across the whole team.

However, middle of last year we both had an 'ah ha' moment. Waking up, we realised for the first time that we really weren't enjoying running such a large business and that the joy of capturing beautiful photos had left us as we had to manage people, teams and the subsequent issues that came up. So, we decided to change.

This couldn't happen overnight as we had obligations to fullfull but we decided that come 2026 we would significantly downsize and go back to what we love doing the most, just the two of us, and Olive Branch Studios was born.

Olive Branch Studio's definitely doesn't have the size or capacity of our previous business but what it does have is our total invested time and attention, the benefit of extensive experience in hitting amazing goals and making monumental mistakes. It is the birth of our combined learned knowledge and experience and exists soley to provide people whom we connect with, with beautiful, carefully planned and curated images and video. If you've read this far, wow, thank you! If you feel like you would connect with us and our values of integrity, compassion, commitment to excellence, the value of people over profit and a passion for pretty photos we'd love to chat with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequent questions we get asked! If we have missed anything just let us know!

What is your creative style?

Our personal style is what we would call classical with an equal mix of editorial, candid, posed and detail orientated shots. We take special interest in making sure we focus on people and moments while enjoying the creative thrill of a bridal shoot. We look for little details which may be missed in the busyness of the day so that when you look back on your gallery you will notice things that you may not have seen at the time. We also love drone photography and videography and mix in a lot of analogue film, Super 8 and direct flash black and white. Check out our gallery page for examples of our style and look through full galleries to make sure you are happy before proceeding to chatting with us.

What is your turnaround time?

Our packages that included fast turnaround will have your photos back to you within 3 -4 weeks from the date of your wedding and your videos back 4 - 6 weeks from the date of your wedding. Our standard turnaround time is 12 weeks for photos and up to 6 months for video.

What is the booking process?

We no longer accept any booking without first having a chat either via phone, zoom or face to face. It's super important that both of us are comfortable and we know that moving forward we can meet your expectations. Once we have mutually agreed to proceed we will send you a booking form to complete. Once that is returned we will raise and invoice and send you through our welcome pack. Please be sure to check your invoice thoroughly to make sure everything you wanted is included, please also be sure to read through our terms and conditions of booking. We do require a booking fee to secure your date. The first option is 50% at time of booking with the balance paid 7 days prior to the wedding an the second is $0 upfront but regular weekly or fortnight payments via our direct debit system with the balance to be finalised 7 days prior to the wedding.

What is your refund/cancellation policy?

Booking fee's are non-refundable unless cancellation is made by Hawthorne Creative. If cancellation is made by the Client, any amounts paid other than booking fees will be refunded. Cancellations within one month of the wedding may incur a loss-of-earnings fee. For direct debit clients, 50% of the total package price is non-refundable. Package downgrades result in store credit only.

Do you charge travel fee's?

For our 10 our Ultimate Package travel is included this also includes interstate bookings. For all other packages any venue more than 60mins from the CBD will incur a small travel fee. We will quote this on a case by case basis and if we are already in the area from a previous wedding we will waive the travel fee.
