Tell us your name and company?
Anna from Anna Murray Photography
Tell us how you started and how long you’ve been in the wedding business?
I’ve been doing photography for almost 15 years. I’ve got extensive photography background traveling and working with magazines and marketing companies in Europe and Australia and I found my true passion in wedding photography working with real life couples.
Does your brand have a specific style?
My style is vibrant and candid. I have an eye and true passion for unique authentic moments of connection. I love beautiful details and backgrounds, but wedding trends like any other trends they come and go and love and family values will always stand the test of time.
How many people do you have on your team and who should we expect on the day? If there is no one, do you have a backup plan?
I work on my own at elopements and micro-weddings and I have a team of two other photographers I work on bigger weddings. I also work with very talented videographer and content creator.
Tell us a bit about your process when booking a wedding from start to finish? What’s included and what’s not?
The process is easy and transparent. I will share my philosophy, my prices and a questionnaire to find out about you, your budget and how you envision the day. You can hop on the Zoom call with me any time to meet me and I’ll share my knowledge, answer your questions and get to know you a bit better.
What info do you require from a couple to best understand their vision and accurately quote on jobs?
I will need to know all the basics when and where. I’d love to know what your perfect venue and dress is; if you want to have all your family and friends to celebrate with you or will it be just the two of you. I will share ideas and knowledge I accumulated from shooting hundreds of weddings. I will guide and help you to find the best option for you on where to start and finish with photography and the most important moments to capture. Remember that having the best experience and time on your day will guarantee the best photos that you will enjoy looking back at.

Got any hot tips for couples when booking a business like yours?
Don’t be shy to call and chat. It’s so important to get to know the face, the voice and personality behind the camera and there’s no pressure to make a booking. Be explicit in what your expectations are to make sure we are on the same page in terms of flow, budget and ideas.
What’s was the coolest, craziest or your most memorable wedding to work on?
A Wylie’s baths wedding in Coogee at the height of summer that felt like a big party. The couple had two dance floors on opposite sides of Wylie’s baths. The bride was wearing the most elegant and colourful beaded dress and the groom was wearing a mint colour summer suit. The setting and the sunset was stunning. It was the most fun, carefree and aesthetically pleasing wedding day full of smiles, hugs, kisses and good vibes.
Tell us a bit about the face behind the brand. What do you get up to on a day off and where would we find you?
On the day off you will find me at an art gallery or going on an adventure with my kids exploring a new park, beach or suburb; on a rainy day I like lighting up a candle, cooking and listening to music. I love yoga, playing UNO, decluttering, dancing and cuddling on the couch watching a movie.
Where do you find your flair and inspiration for the business?
My couples are my constant source of inspiration. All the amazing creative vendors are full of energy and ideas. I constantly educate myself at world class workshops and masterclasses to study new trends, techniques and approaches.
What do you love most about your job and working in the wedding industry?
The people. I love people and I’m fascinated by how unique everyone’s story is. My goal is to capture and reflect this in images.
The wedding community. I find everyone extremely supportive and creative.
Wedding industry is dynamic and so friendly. It brings a lot of joy and fulfilment working with wedding vendors to make sure the couples has the most beautiful experience to celebrate their love.

I’d like to share one my lovely client’s review. You can find more on Google.
"We were beyond thrilled with Anna's work capturing our special day. As someone who typically doesn't enjoy being photographed, Anna's calming presence and understanding nature immediately put me at ease. She beautifully captured every moment, allowing us to relive the joy of our wedding day through her lens. Anna's talent and professionalism shine through in every shot, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Anna, for your incredible work and for making our day truly unforgettable!"
