"Ana went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable".
"Anastasia was an absolute godsend".
Working with Serenity Photography was an absolute pleasure. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photographs, Ana's dedication and hard work were evident every step of the way. Not only did Ana excel in her photography skills, but she also made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Her kindness and warm personality put my wife and I at ease, and we felt comfortable and confident in her hands throughout the day. She went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable in front of the camera and captured all the precious moments that mattered to us. She provided the highest level of professionalism and made our wedding day incredibly special. I am grateful to both Ana and Lawrence for their exceptional work and cannot recommend Serenity Photography highly enough.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further than Anastasia and the wonderful team at Serenity Photography.
I don't even know where to start with this review because I have so much praise to give.
Anastasia was an absolute godsend. My wife and I have very particular aesthetic tastes. From our very first meeting we felt completely at ease that Anastasia not only understood our vision, but could extend upon it and deliver it. A far cry from the cheesy staged shots we saw on most wedding photography websites, Anastasia's work is editorial and slick.
The photos Anastasia delivered absolutely blew us away, far beyond anything I could've have imagined. They're now among our most prized possessions.
Every now and then, my wife and I joke and imagine the alternative had we not booked Serenity Photography and we shudder at the very thought.
For those who love film photography, Anastasia is an avid film photographer, swapping between film and digital throughout the night. Not only is her work superb, but the whole team was such a pleasure to work with and be with on the day, we really enjoyed having them at our wedding. We could really tell from working with them that they truly love photography, it is their art and they are deeply devoted to it, the results speaking for themselves.
Anastasia's communication is clear and concise which made the whole day and build up so much easier. Every detail was thought of, Anastasia and Larry helped advise us on how to set up the venue and day to make it even more beautiful, even making a trip to the venue ahead of time to map the angles of the sun and shade. On the morning of the wedding, Anastasia brought a collection of thoughtful touches along with her to photograph my wife getting ready, including a a silk ribbon that she ended up walking down the aisle with wrapped around her bouquet. It was the perfect finishing touch.
On the day her team of THREE photographers captured everything, working tightly as a team and late into the night. Nothing was too hard for them, and they even had the flexibility to stay a few extra hours at our request with no notice to capture the night as we danced it away.
Serenity Photography absolutely over delivered in every aspect of service and included lots of extras which we had no idea about when we booked. Included in the photos supplied, (of which there were over 1200, all incredible in their own right) there were also included short video snippets of the day, as well as drone footage of our ceremony and reception. There was even an engagement shoot thrown in too, just for some extra magic. I won't spoil it for you, but there were even further surprises for us in the way she delivered our photos to us.
To the whole team, thank you so, so much. We could not have imagined the day without you and we will cherish the photos for all time. You are true artists.

"We've been so touched by this EXPERIENCE!"
Anastasia and Larry were the best photographers we could have possibly asked for!! We honestly could not have had a successful wedding without them. Anastasia is so thorough and goes well above and beyond. She provided us with multiple lengthy zoom consultations as we are from interstate and you can just tell that she is driven by so much passion for photography! We did not need a separate wedding planner as she would collaborate with our vendors, send us the timeline of the day, checklist of things to bring and more! On the day of the wedding, we were able to depend on her professionalism and perfectionism to guide us throughout the photoshoot and the day in general! The photos are absolutely beautiful and we have received so many compliments from the guests as well! We are so so happy to have met Anastasia and Larry - you guys are the best!! :) We've been so touched by this experience, from our very first meetings until now. Thanks for putting in so much effort for us!
"Wow! The photos are more than anything I could have ever imagined. "
"Thank you so much for AMAZING photos. "
"Conscientious and thorough. "
Wow! Anastasia we are truely speechless.
The photos are more than anything I could have ever imagined. We have already received so many compliments on the photos so thank you for capturing our beautiful day! I will never forget your dedication and kindness. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work. Me and Shannon feel that you went above and beyond for us. I cannot thank you enough. The day couldn’t have gone any better.
I was so nervous but you put me at ease, I cannot thank you enough for that. I am so happy you were with me every step of the day. Thank you so much for your kindness and graciousness. Larry’s kind nature and gentleness put me at ease which I am so grateful for. Thank you both very very much for making our day so magical.
Anastasia, thank you for capturing so many special memories for our family! The gallery from our destination wedding in France is so beautiful!!! We are very happy with everything.
Thank you so much for everything and for amazing photos! You did an amazing job, took great shots of the entire wedding.
Our photographer Anastasia was professional conscientious and thorough. At a four day destination wedding in France a brides worry might be to make sure every moment was captured , and Ana never left my side leaving during our four day event leaving us with gorgeous images that we will treasure forever. She has the rare combination of knowing when to capture what image lies before her and when to create artistic images by pushing people out of their comfort zone and composing dramatic images of grace and beauty.
"Ana is undoubtedly the best wedding photographer that we have had a pleasure to deal with".
The result was really, really great due to all of the efforts that she put in during the shoot. We were directed very carefully and the result was as we expected, if not even better. Ana and her team contacted us a couple months before the shoot to arrange locations and planning, we were contacted again a couple days before the shoot and she kept the communication constant even after the shoot to ensure we have the best Post-editing result possible. If there is any negative thing about our experience with Ana, it would be that she raised the customer service standard to a new height, now I MUST expect that kind of customer service from the other photographers if we have to work with someone else. Return factor is a 100% Yes from us. Thanks from Tony and Quynh
"Serenity Photography was absolutely SUPERB.
I cannot believe how well everything turned out. From the start, meeting Ana at our pre-wedding shoot, we hit it off and we just knew that this would be a very fun relationship we'll have with her. Ana is an excellent communicator and no questions were left unanswered. So much praise for Ana's work and her creativity really does shine. We love her attention to detail and her art really shows in the work that she produces. Our wedding day was captured so well.
We are incredibly happy and would 110% recommend the Serenity duo to anyone. Thank you for allowing us to relive our special day. All the best. We love you! Xx
"The photos are PERFECTION! "
Ana was an absolute delight to have buzzing around on our wedding day! And buzz around she did! She worked so hard and was in all of the right places to capture all the right pictures. Ana was a smiley, calm and positive presence from the morning getting ready all the way through to the party late in the evening! And... The photos are PERFECTION! Thank you Ana for your hard work and dedication to getting magical shots for us of our perfect day! I'm so glad it was you we had there with us!
Photographer with an expert eye, she is a true artist, putting so much work into telling the story, making sure every detail is one of quality, beauty and genuine luxury.
I had the absolute pleasure to work with Anastasia at Serenity Photography for a luxury editorial shoot at a stunning local venue here in Melbourne. Anastasia is not only an incredibly talented, professional photographer with an expert eye, she is a true artist, putting so much work into telling the story, making sure every detail is one of quality, beauty and genuine luxury. Her dreamy, romantic style captured my florals so beautifully and it is a joy to work with her.

"Couldn't ask for better photographer for my destination wedding at a French chateau!"
Couldn’t ask for better photographer for my destination wedding at a French chateau! Every moment is captured in a beautiful way and they took the time to edit each and every picture afterwards! Great people to work with, professionals with kind personality! I’m so happy that you were my photographer! Thank you for the beautiful pictures.
"It was a great experience".
Serenity Photography was our first choice. Anastasia captured our vision beautifully and provided the creative insight we needed. Her passion for her craft came through on the day as she went above and beyond our expectations. It was a great experience working with Anastasia and we are so grateful for the care and attention she put into capturing our special day.
"The best wedding decision we made! "
Ana and Larry took the most amazing wedding photos for my husband and I and we even got a preview 3 days after the wedding…. A great surprise and they are perfect!! They are so professional and really acknowledge the fact that weddings can be stressful and expensive. In the thorough zoom meetings we had with Ana she gave us the best tips and advice and we felt very assured that she understood everything we wanted and that we had made the right decision. Ana went above and beyond and even liaised with our videographer to make sure the capturing of the wedding was perfect. Highly recommend and was the best wedding decision we made! - love.
"Beyond our expectations!"
Ana was beyond our expectations! She really has an eye for photography and gave us small hints on how to capture these beautifully artistic photos. She made me feel so comfortable in our engagement shoot that all our Wedding photos look so natural, she captured those little moments of married bliss. I could not recommend her more! We also love the drone shots of us dancing along the Noosa National Park coast!
"If you are looking for fantastic wedding photos look no further!"
If you are looking for fantastic Wedding photos look no further! We used Ana for our wedding photography in November 2018 and cannot be happier with the photos we received. Ana's process was very inclusive, including an initial chat to discuss our vision of the wedding and the photos we were wanting. We also had an engagement session where we got to experience the whole process, practice different poses (a very awkward experience!) and become comfortable in front of the camera. Photography on the wedding day itself was outstanding. Ana took the time to ensure that she got all the photos we were after and much more! Ana also brought additional props for photos with jewelry etc which was much appreciated. Opening out USB on the day it was received was a highlight. The wood style USB was amazing, along with the heirloom container it arrived in. We have placed this in a prized location in our display case! I would highly recommend Ana and would use her again!
"Our perfect day wouldn't be the same without you! "
We were so thankful to have Ana & Larry to photograph our wedding in November 2020.
They were able to capture all the perfect moments without realising that we were getting photographed. It felt as though they blended in as guests who brought along great energy and enthusiasm to the entire day.
They gave us sneak peek photos on the night even after a long day and drive back over to the QLD border.
Thank you both so much for capturing our perfect day. Wouldn't have been the same without you.
Courtney & James
Ana and Larry, what can I say. You both are truly amazing people and amazing photographers. I can not express how much we love all of our photos.
It was such a blessing to work with you not just on our wedding day, but from the moment we met.
Your creativity and passion for what you do clearly shows in each image. I could not recommend you enough to anyone who is looking for photos that will capture a moment but stay in your heart for a lifetime. We are so excited to be able to share our photos with family and friends in our home for the rest of our lives. Truly thank you so much. I look forward to working with you in future.
Ashlee & Mitchel:

“Extremely skilled photographer full of creative and inspiring ideas!”
“Such a timeless aesthetic, all my family and friends are in awe!”
“The service was above and beyond!”
Ana is the best! She is an extremely skilled photographer full of fresh, creative and inspiring ideas. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same had she not been involved to share her creative insight and we're so grateful and happy with the result. The photos are so good! We highly recommend her.
Ana and her husband photographed my wedding last August and I couldn't be more excited to receive her beautiful photos. She shot them in such a timeless aesthetic all my family and friends who have seen them are in awe. Ana was always so professional and personable - replying to my emails diligently and quickly and was very caring on the big day. 10/10 definitely recommend Serenity Photography as the ideal wedding photographer
The service that Ana provided was above and beyond. Professional and imaginative with every shot and when we saw the pictures our minds were blown. Even when we getting tired and over it she kept pepping us up and making it all worth it. Especially after seeing the pictures.
I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Anastasia both professionally (as a model) and privately (my wedding) over the past four years. She is the most professional, kind, fun to work with photographer with a wonderful eye for detail. She takes so much pride in delivering exceptional photos you and your family will treasure for generations. Her work is exquisite, her customer service is wonderful and she's an incredible creative. Cannot wait to work with Ana again, she makes the whole process fun and breezy. Thank you again! x

“She goes over above and beyond.”
Ana has done both a pre wedding shoot and also was our photographer for our wedding day and i can say her work is amazing! We would totally recommend her to anyone needing a photoshoot or a wedding photographer. We have had compliments from countless people on her work and she goes over and beyond and is dedicated and loves what she does. What i loved was on the wedding night Ana stayed up so late so the next morning i already had 18 images edited to show my family and friends and to add them to Facebook which blew people away!

Ana is a fantastic photographer. My wedding was on the coldest and wettest day in October and the photos that were produced were absolutely amazing! She made all of our bridal party feel so comfortable and she was a highlight of our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Ana was great to work with for our wedding! Her and her partner are very friendly and professional. She does great work with landscapes too. We had some photos taken at UQ in St Lucia and along the Brisbane River and she did an amazing job with the sandstone buildings, the landscape along the river and also took some incredibly shots using shadows. My partner and I were very happy with how everything turned out. Would definitely recommend her.
Wow!! I can't rave about Anastasia enough! Talk about an incredible photographer and company Anastasia created!! Extremely talented, professional and the quality of work is exquisite. This was in Melbourne in November and was truly blown away by this album. To this day, it is honestly my favourite album I have ever received. Anastasia understands Fine Art as a photographer so well. She is extremely talented with black and white images, absolutely timeless images! Anastasia also really helps with the vision of clients and creates even more possibilities. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable with Destination Weddings and clients from all over the world including me. She knows multiple languages which is a huge plus, I will always refer her for weddings!! Thank you Serenity Photography!!

“Amazing results!”
“Full of energy and always giving great advice during the shooting.”
“Photos are amazing!”
We have just received our wedding preview and we love it! Ana arrived early in the morning and stayed until the reception finished. She captured all of the important details of our special day. She kept us all going through the photo shoot, even when we started to get tired! The results - Amazing! We would definitely recommend Ana to get your wedding/engagement photos done! Thank you so much Ana, we cannot wait to get the rest of our beautiful photos!
We asked Ana to make some photos as a per-wedding session, and she has been fantastic. Very passionate, she took us around Sydney in the best spots according to sunlight. She is a very nice person and full of energy, always giving great advice during the shooting. We recommend her 200%!!!
I want to say thank you so much for our photos! We got them this week and they are amazing. We can't thank you enough for how amazing they are xxx
Our wedding day last October was something I've pictured since I was a little girl and capturing those golden moments and reliving them with our kids one day was very important to us. To add to the stress we decided to have a destination wedding up in Byron Bay (so I was nervous about suppliers) and the last thing I wanted to worry about was quality of work so Ana flew down to see my husband and I in Sydney and made the whole affair a breeze! Ana and her husband are the ultimate team and made us feel so at ease. Ana was professional and had a keen eye for the details and more importantly she is imaginative and creative with her shots. Ana had to also work with other vendors onsite especially our videographer and she did this with ease. I highly recommend Serenity Photography to all my friends and family and to those who want a superb Photographer that's also really down to earth.
