Photography is more than capturing moments. It’s about discovering the details others might miss. At Solemate Studios, we look beyond the obvious to find the beauty in the unnoticed: the way your fingers intertwine, the flicker of a nervous smile, or the quiet pause just before you say "I do." Every photograph we take is a chance to preserve the details of your day: the textures of your dress, the light spilling through the trees, the laughter that echoes long after the music fades. We focus on the quiet beauty in the in-between moments, turning them into something timeless and deeply personal. It’s not just photography... It’s storytelling with soul.

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 member 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.
