We were very very happy with Serendipity Photography for absolutely wonderful pictures and very friendly service all the way through from the start to finish.

We were impressed that Serendipity were willing to go out of their way to make us happy. The results are outstanding with beautiful effects and very natural photography. We love the soft light and warm colours in the Exhibition Gardens and the way the pictures have so much variety and happiness. There was so much to choose from, every picture brought us right back to the emotions of the day, we were right in the middle of everything again!

Serendipity really understood the type of pictures we wanted, natural, fun, and an easy time on the day. The results are outstanding with great designs and a lot of impact.

When we picked up the album we couldn't believe it! We looked so good, we could hardly believe it was us! Everyone loves our photos, they say that they are amazing and that the album is just excellent!

We would be very, very happy to recommend Serendipity.

Marie and Ian Yap.

Wow! We were so blown away with the quality, elegance, professionalism and beauty of our wedding photos. Overall, Serendipity Photography blew our expectations about what our photos would look like.

On the day of our wedding, the photographer was fantastic to work with. He made sure that everyone was comfortable in their surroundings, which definitely ended up showing in our photos.

The photos themselves had beautiful, vibrant colours- almost better than real life! They were so vibrant and crisp- my bouquet especially looked brilliant.

The photographer definitely catered for what we wanted. We were very keen on having a lot of outdoor shots, and so the photographer made sure that we were outside in a variety of different locations. The fact that we had many locations meant that we had a lot of choice when it came to sitting down and choosing our photos. We loved the fact that even though there were different locations, the photos all seemed to flow and fit together.

At our reception, we had a few traditional Polish customs that were very important for us to include. Our photographer captured these moments with elegance, respect and understanding, what definitely meant a lot to myself and my family.

Overall, we would say that Serendipity Photography were easy to work with and produced fantastic photos for us that we would be able to keep and treasure forever.

Serendipity Photography captured every special moment of our wedding day. The photos are better than we could ever have expected! The work that Sally does on the photos to bring out the colours is amazing! Our wedding album is definitely world class and everyone that has seen it states that the photos are the best they have ever seen and I totally agree! The locations that Julian took us to were exactly what we were after and the end result is spectacular! I highly recommend Serendipity Photography! Veronica

We're totally overwhelmed by our wedding album. The shots are breathtaking and everything we hoped for and more. The attention to detail and wonderful colours really stand out in the album. Our most intimate moments were captured perfectly by Julian on the day, giving us an album that we love to look at over and over again. Julian's use of the location was incredible and his ability to capture the mood and feeling both of the location and us as a couple is what makes our album stand out from others that I have seen. We couldn't be happier with our album.

we were taken aback by the fantastic photographs from Serendipity! our album was so beautiful, the colours and the vibrancy of the photos really blew us away. our family and friends all commented how wonderful the photos were. Julian took so many great shots of our traditional Sikh wedding... the album that Sally put together for us truly captured our special days and we especially liked the paparazzi spread, with all of our family and friends! we would highly recommend Serendipity to anyone looking to get married, the photos are just divine.

Serendipity were the photographers for my wedding in January of this year, Julian, who was our photographer was exceptional at what he does- he made us feel comfortable and confidant to express ourselves so that our album is totally unique and reflects our personality and culture. Looking for a photographer is hard work until you stumble across these guys! From the moment you see their work you are impressed and mesmerized, the first thing that stood out to me was their use of colour- their photos are bright and colourful and happy- which is what you want on your happy day!

I would absolutely recommend them to any bride searching for the right photographer.

Serendipity has done a brilliant job of photographing our wedding! Every photograph is different, there is so much variety of mood and colour. All our very special moment have been covered and we are very happy with the results! The photographs are imaginative and really tell the story of our day. We felt like celebrities, very comfortable during the photography, very happy to have such a fun experienced even though we don't know the first thing about being photographed.

We chose Serendipity because of the huge number of weddings that they have done, the large number of poruwa ceremonies, and just the very best pictures! You can see the huge amount of time that goes into the pictures, and we think it is very much better to pay a little bit more and have very beautiful photographs for your whole life!

We are very happy to reommend Serendipity! Thilini and Ragavan

Serendipity gave us highly creative photography with spectacular colours! We chose Serendipity because they have photographed 2000 weddings, and this experience counts. It is really worth choosing a photographer with good industry knowledge, who understands how to help make the day smooth - Serendipity knew just where to take us for shots that perfectly suited our theme. The results are elegant and stunning! We would be very happy to recommend Serendipity, particularly for spectacular night shots. Danielle and Jay

We had Serendipity do our wedding photo's for us in December 2010. Julian was an absolutely amazing photographer and Sally did a fantastic job touching the photos up and providing us with a very memorable album that we can look back on for the rest of our lives. The photos are absolutely brilliant, vibrant and show the dedication of a great photography company. We would recommend Serendipity to anyone that wants to have proper, artistic wedding photos taken by true professionals.

We were overwhelmed by the very spectacular photography from Serendipity. Our preshoot photographs were quite unique with wonderful lighting and moods and colours. Julian has a real gift to see in n other dimension, a whole different perspective, like our amazing "twin" shot outside the Crown wall on the footpath with the beautiful lights and reflections. Some of our favourites are the shots at the beach - just 4 meters of veil and a dark sunset and light to make something so very special. These veil shots are why we chose Serendipity, we absolutely love the results, and Serendipity's veil shots for us are just as good or even better than the ones on their wall!!! Serendipity offer a much better quality shot with amazing imagination and creativity, finding the perfect angle for beautiful compositions.

We would be very happy to recommend Serendipity for stunning work!

Amazing photography which captured every moment, and very artistic glamourous album with so many moods. Sally and Julian have gone above and beyond in producing a brilliant album.. full of the the best shots and designs and full of impact. We love some of the dramatic lighting and romantic sepia shots.. the album is full of surprises and it really makes us want to do it all over again!!

Thanks Serendipity for a WOW album.. we have been recommending you to our friends for really good work and a sense of comfort and expertise. Our album is totally stunning.. the very best we have seen!!

Serendipity Photography have gone above and beyond what we would have imagined, the album is utterly gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking..... We are so very happy that we chose Serendipity as the album is awesome and fits us just to a T. We are very impressed with Sally and Julian's knowledge of Melbourne and the sheer skill in shooting wonderful pictures and creating a fabulous result. The colours in the album are stunning, mesmerizing. We love the beautiful shots with the cruise ship and beautiful blues of the sea, and lovely new red sepia effects in a trees panorama. I've never seen anything like this before! I think it would be fair to say that Serendipity are leading wedding photography in Melbourne from the front! Sally and Julian are clearly proud of the work they do, and it shows in their work.

We are very happy to recommend Serendipity Photography for just the very best albums and wonderful memories!!

We couldn't be any more pleased with the quality and scope of the photos of our wedding by Serendipity Photography. The dedication to getting gorgeous shots on the part of our photographer Julian was outstanding and resulted in some truly amazing pictures. He was able to capture a wide variety of photos from bright romantic shots by the Yarra and South Melbourne Town Hall to more richly coloured intimate shots at the Langham Hotel. Especially the use of light and backdrop in the photography on the grand staircase and hotel bar. We and our family were made to feel really comfortable in front of the camera and this has resulted in a stunning album of our memories. With much appreciation, Andreea and Louie

We were very happy with our pictures from Serendipity Photography. We really like the great variety of styles, and the sense of relaxation and laughter. Julian was very funny, he kept us relaxed which really came across in the photos, and we felt very engaged in the process. He ran around and got great angles and you can see that he has a great eye for light.

Serendipity make gorgeous albums, the way they make the colours in the photographs is beautiful, the photographs give us a very real sense of our day.

We would be very happy to recommend Serendipity for couples who want quality work.

Miranda and Darren.

We looked at the rest and settled for the best!

We looked at 12 photography places and visited 4 photographers! When we visited Serendipity we knew had found just the right place. The quality and presentation was outstanding, and we could tell that Sally and Julian were committed, passionate and professional. Another quality that we like is Serendipity's friendly attitude and the amount of time they spent with us. It isn't just about selling - we felt at ease and are ecstatic with our album. Serendipity's results are beyond outstanding. Our album is taken everywhere, and so many people have been asking to see it, and say that it is truly art, like the ladies in the jewelry shop and the bridal dress shop.

We love all the different layouts, and the gorgeous colours. Each page of the album is quite unique. You can tell that Sally and Julian have spent so many hours on the photographs. All of our paparazzi's photograph pages look so different - we love looking at so many people and remembering those special times. Our dancing looks just like a movie, and overall we believe that the photographs have magazine quality. We just love all the portraits on our wall, they are quite outstanding!!

Thanks so much,

Helen and Con
