Hello Lover!
Im Catherine, the owner and photographer behind Laconic Photographic.
I’m a story teller, who just happens to take photos. In another life I could have been a painter, or a writer. But Im forever grateful to have a camera in my hands!
Im new to Canberra, but have been shooting for over a decade now. Im so excited to get to know the ACT, and NSW area, and take photos of some wonderful couples!
My style of photography is what used to be known as photojournalistic, but nowadays is reffed too as lifestyle, or candid.
I take a step back, and capture as much of the action as naturally as possible. Think of me as a fly on the wall while you get ready, and paparazzi during your formal photos.
This doesn’t mean Im totally hands off – Ill happily chat with you from behind the camera, and get you laughing, as well as guiding you when needed.
I’ll get you moving into your photos, and interacting with each other. Giving you prompts, that will both help you feel more at ease in front of the camera, and create more natural looking images.
Before your wedding day, I love to get to know you, and find out a bit about your personalities. Then Ill use that on your wedding day to get you laughing with your love, smiling with your bridal party, and having a generally amazing time!
I’ll also use this for your engagement session, to help find a location that will both give amazing images, but also have some significance to you both.
I truely believe all celebrations deserve to be captured – no mater how big or small. I love court house and micro weddings, just as much as bigger, or more traditional celebrations.
My Courthouse / Elopement packages start at $1,600, and are specifically designed for smaller ceremonies.
If you love my work, and are considering me for your wedding day, then get in touch! Id love to buy you a coffee, or tea, and sit and chat about how I can help capture your wedding.
Wedding Packages include –
– A slideshow set to music, showing highlights of your day. This is delivered within 48 hours of your day so you can enjoy it while you wait for the remaining images.
– Catch ups to help figure out the details of the day, and chat about timelines, or ideas. As many of these as you need to feel comfortable, and either face-to-face, over the phone, or on Zoom.
– Images delivered via a secure online album, ready to be downloaded, or to share with family and friends.
– My larger packages include an engagement session – so we I can get a feel for how you interact with each other, and you have a chance to be in front of the camera.
Cant wait to chat soon xx
Kia Ora, Hey, Hello!
Im Catherine - the face behind Laconic Photographic.
I’m a story teller, who just happens to take photos. In another life I could have been a painter, or a writer. But Im so glad to have a camera in my hands!
Heres a few quick facts to get to know me
- I drink a lot of coffee - like three a day? I love coffee, but for the taste. If I found great decaf I would drink that too!
- I read a LOT, and love collecting books. Any book lover knows that reading, and buying books are two different hobbies.
- I live in the tropics (currently) but LOVE jeans, boots, and knit sweaters. We are moving to a cold climate at the end of 2023, and I cant wait to wear this all the time.
- I studied both photography and graphic design at Uni. I decided at 17 it was something I could do for the rest of my life, and have always done it on the side of my * real Jobs *.
- Ive tried a lot of different types of photography over the years, and I always come back to couples in love. Weddings are my favourite, but anything with couples makes me super happy.
- Our family is a transitory one. Since meeting my partner we have lived in 3 cities, and are moving to our fourth this year. I love getting to live in lots of different places, and meet lots of people along the way.
