A perfect blend of editorial and documentary storytelling
At Solemate Studios, we’re here for the moments that can’t be put into words, the moments that you won't find on a timeline, and the ones you want to hold onto forever. Our mission is to capture those moments exactly as they happen, so they become memories you can relive time and time again.
Our Why
get in touch
Director / Photographer / Videographer / photo Editor
Laila has a talent for finding humour in the darkest, most taboo topics. She finds it nearly impossible to speak without swearing, but she's the biggest hype-girl that you'll ever meet.
ADMINISTRATION COORDINATOR
Shane is the organisational mastermind of Solemate Studios. With a knack for staying cool under pressure, she runs the show from the comfort of her home office (probably in her comfiest pyjamas).
Videographer / Video editor
If you’ve ever wondered what a man looks like when he’s spent 14 hours colour-grading the same clip, it’s Sam: pale, twitchy, and muttering at the computer. But thanks to his unhealthy addiction to lactose-free lattes, he’s the sole reason your wedding film looks like it belongs on Netflix.
In addition to our main crew, we also have an incredible team of photographers and videographers and our portfolio showcases work from all of us. Our photos and videos are captured and edited so consistently that it is nearly impossible to tell who took them. The team has been trained to maintain a seamless aesthetic, and having only one editor for photos and one editor for videos helps keep everything consistent too.
When you enquire with us, we’ll set up a meeting so we can get to know each other properly. If Laila and/or Sam aren’t available on your wedding date, we’ll pair you with the team members who we think will be the best fit for you. You’ll then have the chance to meet them over FaceTime or at your engagement session, so you’ll know exactly who’ll be by your side on the day.

We know being in front of the camera can feel awkward, maybe even overwhelming. But what we’ve learned is that the most beautiful moments happen when you let go of the nerves and simply be.
And for us, it all starts with connection. Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Because when you feel comfortable, that’s when we capture more than just how your day looked... We capture how it felt.
We believe that your spouse isn't just a soulmate...
they're your 'sole' mate - your one and only.
At Solemate Studios, it's not a typo!
