FAQs
Where are you based?
The Macquarie Photography Society is affiliated with Macquarie University in the northern region of Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Our network of photographers & videographers are located across the Greater Sydney metropolitan area.
What is included in your packages?
Surprise! We do not offer ‘packages’ for our services. We believe each engagement is unique and will tailor a full-process solution with you. This includes all equipment, photos, post-process editing, indexing, and delivery.
We take care of everything from start to finish, so you can focus on your event.
All images are edited and colour graded. You can decide the grade and theme yourself, or leave it to us!
All quotes include editing hours.
When will I receive my photos & videos?
The turnaround time for most photos & videos is usually 2-3 weeks, depending on the size of the event.
You can request to receive some of the photos within 24-48 hours after the event so you can show family & friends if you can’t wait!
How many photos & videos will I receive?
There is no limit on the number of photos & videos you receive. While this number depends on the size of the event and number of photographers present, we always pursue full coverage to capture every moment.
Can you also help organise a timeline for our event or shoot?
Absolutely.
With so many events and photoshoots under our belt, we can provide advisory information regarding key timings to ensure your event or shoot runs smoothly and has enough time for the important moments.
While the final decision rests with you, we aim to ensure your event or shoot is as stress-free and easy as possible.
Where can I print my photos?
All our packages include digital photos sent to you online in a web-sized file. This is a compressed format which retains quality for online screens while saving online storage space.
You can select as many photos to print. We will then send this request to a professional print lab with the highest quality resolution available.
We recommend not printing digital photos yourself as these are designed for mobile screens and will be blurry or pixellated at larger print sizes.
What is your style?
Photography styles vary between photographers and Macquarie Photography Society tailors this to each event request.
To find a good fit, send us a mood board with some example photos, and we will match you to photographers with a similar style!
How early do I need to book a photographer for my event or shoot?
Short answer: As early as possible!
Our photographers cover thousands of events and shoots throughout the year, and calendars fill up quickly.
In the unlikely situation you require a photographer at short notice, it is possible to secure services with 24 hours’ notice, although this will incur a premium for late booking.
How do you capture candid moments & emotions?
Our photographers pursue a story which conveys the mood of your event. Each photographer has their own style of engaging subjects to capture moments.
This can range from building relationships to lighten the mood, or melting into the shadows and observing from afar. Both extremes and everything between ensure all subjects are relaxed within their comfort zones throughout the day or evening.
Are there any additional pricing fees I should know about?
Our quotes may include additional fees which may include any of:
- Travel expenses outside the Sydney metropolitan area
- Late bookings at short notice
- Heavy or specialised props or equipment
- Priority turnaround (within 2-5 business days)
- Early/late night hours, or holiday period bookings
- Any other unforeseen expenditure within reason
- Inclement weather is excluded from this – we will never charge you extra for poor weather postponing an event or shoot
