We both wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you've done for us throughout this whole process. From the moment we met you, we knew you had to be part of our day and we've had absolutely no regrets. You've got a way of perfectly balancing professionalism and the feeling like you're a mate. Your calm and laid-back nature was exactly what we had hoped for on the day!

In terms of your photography, ninja could not be more accurate. We still look at some of our photos wondering where on earth you stood to get the shot. You were invisible when you could be, and perfectly assertive when you needed to be.

You created an atmosphere of fun and silliness, where we both expected to feel kind of awkward. We got a whole lot of beautiful and unique images that truly reflected us and the beauty the venue had to offer. Working with you has been a treat from start to finish and we are both so grateful that you were a part of our day.

Unicorns, flamingos and drag queens OH MY!

"Come meet us as we try to chase unicorns and rainbows across the harbour."

Welcome to Mark & Helder's fun colourful tropical carnival surprise wedding extravaganza!

No one knew about the day, the boys told everyone to meet them at the ferry wharf for a day of chasing unicorns and wear something fun and colourful (no black please;) - they really had no clue. As the day unfolded, with surprise after surprise occurring it got funnier and funnier...

The boys met by a chance meeting at Cambodia airport being tested for swine flu;) Not knowing 10 years later they would be dancing together down the aisle to ' I’m coming out, I want the world to know’  by Diana Ross. 

• 75 guests, from 16 countries representing every continent, and one drag queen

• Breakfast pool party with their besties, drinking cocktails while flapping around on inflatables

• Mystery boat ride

• Three out fit changes 

• Celebration lunch at their fav restaurant Ripples on Chowder Bay.

• A tropical boat party on Sydney Harbour, where everyone was greeted with a drag queen handing out garlands and champagne. As they set off, CoCo Jumbo the drag queen did the first dance, lip synching to dancing queen.

• Watching Mark's mum pole dance with a drag queen is a def highlight of the night. 

• No to forget the entire boat to sing Celine Dion titanic ‘my heart will always go on’ as CoCo the drag queen re-enacted the movie, as they went under the harbour bridge - priceless

"We had decided to not have a photographer, because everyone seemed staged and boring. This was till we met Mr.Wigley at a wedding fair, we saw his pictures and knew instantly that he was creative, and would not just apply a cookie cutter approach to our wedding. He got to know us as people first before he even talking about what we wanted, just so he knew our style. He was brilliant on the day, to be honest I hardly even knew he was there - a real ninja photographer! "

With a love of Art & Asian culture, it was a no brainer for Darryl & Tom to get hitched in the Chinese gardens in Sydney. 

Setting the vibe their guests all received an amazing hand made invite made by Tom which was personalized, hand-embroidered and wrapped with antique kimono fabrics they had collected over the years on their adventures - soooooo super special ;)

The Urban/Arty/Asian vibe set the theme for the photos which included chasing blue cupids in alleyways in china town, a larger than life noodle bowl and some local street art as a backdrop for their Mr.Wigley cake topper shot.

Then celebrated with champers and oysters in a private dining experience for there 13 besties at Sails Restaurant overlooking the sunset on the amazing Sydney Harbour - what a view!

“WOW!! These photos are amazing, beautiful, loved-up and beyond expectations!! They capture the day and especially the feeling so well it is remarkable… thanks so much for being part of this experience with us and especially being so sweet, relaxed, low-key and professional on the day “

What do dodgem cars, Halloween and pink elephants have in common? - Kim and Phil's wedding.

When Kim contacted me I was already booked on her date. But twist of fate, things changed and i was able to shoot her wedding... it was SO MUCH FUN.

"What an incredible photographer. He caught those beautiful moments on camera that no one could have captured in the way he did. From the beginning he made us feel comfortable. There was no awkwardness, and definitely no fake pose moments which was EXACTLY what we wanted.  I want to do our wedding day all over again to see what other beautiful memories he can get in that magical contraption of his!

Get ready, because Sean and Matt’s wedding celebration is about to blow your glittery socks off! And even better than all that – it was a surprise wedding! They invited their guests under the guise of Sean’s 50th birthday but mid-way through the night, surprised everyone by telling them they were getting married! Sean only proposed two months before and most of their guests didn’t even know they were engaged!

The couple first met on the dance floor 19 years ago so the theme of the party was literally perfect for them. They had disco balls, holographic screamers and amazing pink and purple lighting. They rounded off the night with drag and dance performances, DJs and a surprise lip-sync performance by one of the grooms.

If Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet & Frida Kahlo had a love child - it would look something like Nat & Alfredo's wedding at the Botanical Gardens, Sydney.

A chance meeting in Rome over gelato started this romance many moons ago, so Nat surprised Alfredo with a gelato cart waiting outside the Palm House after they got hitched - raspberry and pistachio a clear favorite especially with Brando their son.

With a love of horror movies and romcoms made for a fun personalized pic with a skull and red heart balloon.

It's really hard to put into adequate words how amazing, fun and professional Darren is as a photographer. I generally hate having my photo taken but it was so much fun! He really took the time to listen to us and get to know us and it was reflected in the style. I will forever recommend Mr.Wigley Photography to anyone that asks.
