FAQs

  • Well, that’s fully up to you! Typically 2.5m x 2.5m is great for most photo lounges. We can use available spaces and unique places throughout your venue to find the perfect spot. We can make small and larger spaces your backdrop, from cozy corners and grand staircases to expansive city views too.

  • We have many colours of backgrounds, from solid to printed fabrics, luxurious velvets, and fun, flashy sequins. Usually, we’ll work with available real locations from entry lounges, outdoor seating areas and cute corners within Melbourne’s best venues.

    Styling the lounge to your event’s theme is endless. We can work with your venue, vendors, stylists and furniture rental suppliers to create the most amazing photo set.

    Based on your event’s style and your personal preferences, we’ll curate a fun selection of premium, unique props, especially our signature Lovenaire confetti!

  • We focus on creating amazing images within the lounge only. Our styling, lighting and camera set up is ready for your guests to visit us.

    We’ll give you custom cards to place on each guest's table, inviting them to get their portraits taken throughout the event. Our lounge invite cards can match your wedding stationery and offer easy instructions on downloading and sharing guest photos.

    If you have hired a wedding or event photographer for the day - they will remain your go-to expert on capturing all the important moments. But if you want a sneaky pic with your favourite vendors who helped make your event a success – jump into the lounge together!

  • During the entire scheduled booking time, we’ll be capturing images, editing photos, uploading galleries, and interacting with your guests.

    We require 60 minutes to set up BEFORE your scheduled start time. So if you book us from 6 PM to 10 PM, we’ll arrive at 5 PM to set up.

    We require 45 minutes to pack down and leave the venue.

    We will only set up and pack down items we have brought or pre-planned to transport. All other items, like rental furniture, are the responsibility of the relevant vendor, etc.

  • Most Lovenaire packages include a prep call, styling and pre-production emails/calls, and the photographer on shoot day with camera/lighting/gear. Every lounge includes your online gallery and instant guest access/sharing.

    Packages include using our premium backdrops (colour, velvet, sequins, etc.). We often use available space, venue furniture and real environments to create truly unique and fashion-inspired images.

    We will work with your stylist, planner, florist, and furniture vendors to art-direct the portrait lounge at no additional cost. The cost of furniture rentals, flowers, and specialised backdrops and stands is not included and is payable directly to your vendors.

    We can share more ideas based on your venue and what may already be available on-site! (ie. repurposing ceremony florals, using venue furniture or cool spaces, etc.)

  • YES, but we’re not your average photo booth. Instead, we offer an entertaining photo experience with super high-quality digital images. Guests can quickly and easily download images to their phones throughout the event. All images can be immediately shared on social media, or prints can be purchased through the online gallery to be delivered.

    For an additional fee, we can print 4x6” photos that your guests can take home with them. Prices start at $5 per person (i. $500 or 100 guests).

    We also offer premium gift services, where we can create unique bomboniere, like custom-printed framed photos that add that extra lux effect!

  • No problem! We work with everyone to make them feel comfortable and be natural in the shot. From fun to funny and serious or staged, we come up with posing ideas suited for each guest. Our laid-back, social and endearing photographer will make sure everyone has a great time and gets amazing photos too.

  • We celebrate all love, all couples, and all identities. We think everyone deserves an amazing moment to shine, and we bring that love and acceptance to all. We also come with no judgment and respect your and your guests' personal requests to the best of our abilities.

  • Get in touch and book an intro call with Garet or Daniel to run through what we do and learn more about your event. We’ll require a non-refundable 20% deposit.

    We’ll send you our Lovenaire Questionaire, which will collect more details about your event, style, and creative ideas. Leading up to your date, we’ll meet on a video call to plan everything and prepare for the day!
