FAQ

Who is Lucy Partington Photography?

I’m an Adelaide based photographer who specialises in real life moments. Capturing everything from weddings, family portraits, newborns, commercial events, music and theatre. As well as selling prints from my own personal photography (I hope you like clouds!).

How long have you been doing Photography?

I’ve been taking photographs for over 20 years. I established my first business, ‘Bottles Photography’ in 2014, and rebranded to Lucy Partington Photography in 2018. I did my first wedding way back in 2012 and took to being a ‘professional’ photographer in 2017.

What is your background in Photography?

I’ve always loved studying photography and design and will continue to do this faaaaar into the future. My newest idea is to further my study in the visual arts area or possibly film (I really love learning). It’s important for me to note that I don’t think it’s necessary to have a background in study to be successful creatively, I simply love being inspired and being surrounded like-minded creatives, which is why I continue to study.

Do you have a second shooter?

UPDATED: YES! For the Unlimited package and 10 hour package, I know being a second shooter with me for around half of the day. The main photos they’ll be capturing are photos of the guests and assisting me with family portraits so together we can truly capture all the amazing moments!

DO YOU HAVE A back up if FOR WHATEVER UNGODLY REASON YOU CAN't be there?

If for any emergency reason I’m unable to attend a wedding (it would only ever be an emergency that could keep me from you!), I have a close support network of accomplished photographers to call on – you won’t be without an amazing photographer!

What’s your style? Do you have one?

Oh yes – we all do, don’t we? If you’ve come this far I hope it means you’re into my pictures (or you just like read FAQs?!). I shoot as I see - always in the style of documenting. I love doing portraits, I really love engaging with people and making them feel at ease infront of the lens. And I also love to get creative.

What is your wedding photography style?

There is candid wedding photography and traditional wedding photography. Both are lovely, but they are very different. I have a more candid style, I like to document your day rather that instruct it. There’s minimal posing (any posing is usually confined to family portraits and portraits of the couple). I want my couples to have fun and not be ‘bogged down’ with photos. It’s the biggest party of your life with your numero uno – let’s just have fun!
