KIND WORDS FROM OUR COUPLES

Abbey & Shannon - Yandina
“Ben and Nikki are simply the best. If you’re umming and ahhing over choosing a wedding photographer, honestly, don’t even bother looking elsewhere! From the very beginning, the effort they put into making our wedding experience incredible was second to none.
They took the time to genuinely get to know us, which made the whole process feel so easy and took away any stress or nerves we had about being in front of the camera. They’re so much more than just photographers. Their organisation and professionalism are unreal, but at the same time they bring such a fun, relaxed vibe that it honestly felt like we had a couple of mates there with us on the day. They knew exactly when to take charge, when to have a laugh and somehow managed to capture everything perfectly without it ever feeling forced. And then there are the photos… WOW.
We are genuinely lost for words with how perfectly they turned out. They captured the day exactly how we remember it, and our friends and family haven’t stopped telling us they’re some of the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen! We’ll be forever grateful to Ben and Nikki for the part they played in our day and for giving us photos we’ll get to look back on for the rest of our lives. We genuinely couldn’t recommend Ben and Nikki from Elevated Weddings enough. Absolute legends!”

“It’s taken me a while to write this review, because I couldn’t find enough words to describe how perfect these guys are. Nikki & Ben are honestly just the best humans. From our engagement shoot (where they somehow made two very awkward people look like we actually knew what we were doing 😂) to our wedding day, they made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way.
They’re absolute pros at finding the best light, capturing all the genuine moments, and somehow being everywhere without ever being in the way. So many of our guests commented on how amazing, friendly and fun they were throughout the day. We are already obsessed with our photos and couldn’t be happier that we chose Nikki & Ben. Thank you guys 🤍”

How do I give 600 stars? Choosing Ben & Nikki was the best wedding decision we made. You can't describe the magic that they can bring to your day. They are warm, energetic and truly felt as if they were an extension of our bridal party.
They got to know us; how we worked as a couple, the way we wanted our day to feel and guided us through so many different parts of wedding planning. And then there was the day itself. They were so intuitive - checking that we're hydrated, if we'd been to the bathroom, have we eaten, chatting with Mum & Dad.
They were everywhere all at once, while also being so focused on just the two of us. Photography was the most important part of our wedding and let me tell you, we nailed it by choosing these two. We are eternally grateful that we had them and are so proud of the photos they produced. We would choose them 100 times over. Thank you, Ben & Nikki, for making our day as wonderful as it possibly could have been and for being two really freakin great humans. Lots of love, Jacinta & Shiloh

“We could not be happier with the service and photos we received from Elevated Wedding. Ben and Nikki were an absolute dream to work with, professional, warm, and incredibly efficient. They wrangled our crowd with ease and good humour, capturing every group shot we wanted without it ever feeling forced or rushed.
As people who don’t usually feel comfortable in front of a camera, we were so grateful for how naturally they guided us. Their direction was gentle and encouraging, and they made us feel completely at ease. The results speak for themselves: stunning portraits and beautifully captured candid moments that reflect the joy and emotion of the day. We’re beyond thrilled with our photos and so thankful that we chose Ben and Nikki to document our wedding. Highly, highly recommend!”

Where to even start!! We honestly cannot recommend these two enough! Ben & Nikki went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure we were happy, comfortable and actually enjoying every moment. They made sure we had enough water and food, and kept an eye on us so neither of us passed out in the heat (even having a backup plan for if the groom did 😂).
They genuinely cared about us and our day just as much as we did. Their energy, warmth and attention to detail were incredible, and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is impressive for us, two of the most awkward people in the world). They captured the most special moments while somehow also being the people making sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes. Things we hadn’t even thought about had already been handled by them before we even knew there was a problem.
They are literally magic!! All of our family and friends have been raving about how amazing they were, which says everything about the kind of people they are. We are beyond grateful we chose them to capture one of the most important days of our lives. The photos are one thing, but the care, thoughtfulness and genuine joy they brought to our day made them so much more than just our photographers. We would choose them a million times over and recommend them to absolutely everyone. Thank you both for being the absolute best!!! Love from The Penberth’s 🤍

“We could not have been happier with Ben & Nikki from Elevated Weddings! From our very first meet and greet with Ben to the moment we received our photo gallery, the experience was absolutely extraordinary. We were both nervous about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Ben brought such a calm, fun, and warm energy to our wedding day at Second Bay - Coolum Beach that we felt totally at ease.
Ben captured the candid, natural emotions of our day better than we could have ever imagined with Nikki working behind the scenes editing the photos so elegantly and in such a short turn around which was completely unexpected. If you are looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful couple to document your big day, be sure to book them in immediately!”

“We had Elevated Weddings photograph our wedding and honestly could not recommend them enough. From the very start, they were the perfect mix of professional, organised, creative and just genuinely fun people to be around.
They met us for a coffee beforehand and walked through the venue with us, so when the wedding came around, it felt like we already had mates there instead of photographers we’d only just met. On the day they arrived early, rolled with everything, and worked so naturally together that we somehow felt like actual models. Huge shoutout to Chaylah on video too. The three of them made the whole day calm, easy and fun.
They even drove our car back to the accommodation for us after the wedding, music up and laughs the whole way. Such a genuine and kind thing to do, and it just sums up the type of people they are.
Amazing photographers, amazing people and just an all around great experience from start to finish.”

“There arent enough stars I could give Nikki and Ben. We were really hesitant about having photography at our wedding as we are quite camera shy and didn't want it to distract from the day and the authentic moments.
They had the perfect balance of making sure we had a great range of shots of the special moments but being invisible enough that we forgot they were there a lot of the time. They were so kind and patient and by the end of the day it felt like they were just a couple of old friends here to celebrate with us.
They got the sneak peeks to us so quickly and they look absolutely incredible, cant wait to see the rest. We cant recommend them enough!”

“Nikki and Ben are absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, communication with them has been so easy, they are always quick to reply, super helpful, and make the whole process stress-free. Both of them are such genuinely lovely people, and they instantly make you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
We recently had a couple shoot with them, and the photos completely blew us away. They captured everything so beautifully and naturally, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The way they work together as a team is seamless, and you can really tell how much passion and creativity they put into every single shot.
Nikki and Ben don’t just take photos, they capture moments, emotions, and the little details that tell your story in the most authentic way. Their professionalism, kindness, and talent make them such a joy to work with, and we honestly feel so lucky to have them photographing our wedding next year. We already know the photos are going to be nothing short of amazing! We honestly can’t recommend them enough.”

“Wow what an experience! Ben and Nikki were absolutely incredible to work with! We will get to the photos eventually but first thing you need to know about them is how they made our day flow. Weddings are HARD to organise.
We had no idea how to make everything work and flow and Ben and Nikki sat with us and worked on our timelines with amazing suggestions, making everything work and flow. Then when the day came they were invaluable when it came to wrangling wayward family, adjusting timelines and getting everyone where they needed to be.
They elevated the energy keeping me and kaki bouncing through all the stress of the day, it was fun and it really showed in the final result! The photos came promptly and are amazing quality! I don’t know how they got two awkward people like us to look photogenic but they did it! Absolutely heavily recommend these guys to anyone looking to get hitched. You guys made our day. Thank you so much!”

“Ben and Nikki are so lovely - they were an absolute delight to have at our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the memories they captured. The wedding photos were perfectly curated, the beautiful film photos were a nice touch, and we loved all the candid moments captured throughout the evening. You don’t even notice them snapping away while you enjoy your big day. Can’t recommend them highly enough!”

Charlotte & Blu - Maleny
“Wow, could not be happier with Ben and Nikki as our wedding photographers. From the very first email these guys were so easy and understanding to work with, really made us feel special and seen. Communication was always 10/10 and super easy when I had questions. On the day, they both arrived early and were so easy to go with the flow, Ben was the perfect mix of ‘bad cop’ when someone was upsetting me and super empathetic with all my family and friends. Nikki was such a lovely person and was so much fun. As for the photos, everything was so much fun but we were super comfortable to say we were getting a bit tired and wanted to move on. Our photos are just gorgeous and edited perfectly.”

“Ben and Nikki were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our day. I’d highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you again for the beautiful photos of our wedding, we will cherish them forever!! ❤️”

“Stop it I’m screaming, you two did an absolutely wonderful job! We can’t put into words how much we appreciate the work you did and just how great you were to have around on our day! Massive thank you - these shots are incredible!”

Shannon & Damian - Mt Tamborine
“The photos are so beautiful, the EXACT vibe we were wanting - it was candid but romantic and just a fun vibe! The film photos are just next level! I can’t stop looking at them! You were honestly the best vendors to work with, we will forever be grateful we chose you and will recommend you both to anyone!”

Tash & Kyle - Byron Bay
“Having Ben and Nikki photograph our elopement was one of the best decisions we made. We travelled from Canada to Australia to get married, and having them there to capture our day was nothing short of magical. They are true professionals who bring an incredible combination of expertise, creativity, warmth, and calm energy to every moment, and from the beginning they made us feel completely at ease.
What sets them apart is how deeply they care. Our elopement was very laid back, and they went above and beyond in ways we never expected, even helping create my bouquet from grocery store flowers, which turned out stunning.
When we received our gallery, we were blown away. The photos felt like something out of a Vogue editorial while still capturing the raw emotion and authenticity of our day. Nikki has an incredible eye for detail and keeps everything running smoothly, while Ben brings an infectious energy and a remarkable talent behind the camera. They are the perfect team and the best hype crew!
If you’re looking for timeless, editorial, emotion-filled images and a team who genuinely cares about you and your story, we cannot recommend Ben and Nikki highly enough.”
