Melbourne Wedding Photographer for the Camera Shy Couples
If the thought of having your photo taken makes you want to crawl into a hole, you're in the right place.
I'm Anna, the photographer behind Lulu & Lime. I photograph weddings across Melbourne for couples who want natural, candid photos without awkward posing, fake smiles or spending half their wedding day standing around looking at the camera.
My approach is simple: I'll gently guide you when you need it, then get out of the way and let you enjoy your day. The result? Wedding photos that actually feel like you.
The belly laughs. The happy tears. The chaotic dance floor moves. The moments you didn't even realise were happening.
If that sounds like your vibe, you're in the right place.
Relaxed Wedding Photography Across Melbourne
Melbourne is hands down one of my favourite places to photograph weddings.
Whether you're getting married in a Brunswick warehouse, celebrating in a Fitzroy laneway, hosting a rooftop party in the CBD or planning a relaxed gathering in the inner north, Melbourne is packed with incredible venues and photo locations.
Over the years I've photographed weddings all over Melbourne, from industrial spaces and colourful street art backdrops to hidden gardens, historic buildings and neighbourhood bars.
The best part? No two weddings ever look the same. I'm not interested in creating cookie-cutter wedding photos. I want your gallery to feel like your day, your people and your story.
That's why I take a documentary-style approach to wedding photography. Instead of constantly directing you, I focus on capturing genuine moments as they happen naturally.
You'll spend less time worrying about photos and more time hanging out with the people you love.
Bad-ass Pics Without the Awkward Posing
Let's address the thing nearly every one of my couples worries about.
"What if we're awkward?/ We’re shit at having our photo taken/ We can’t pose/ We hate having our photo taken…
The truth is, almost nobody feels completely comfortable in front of a camera.
The difference is that my approach isn't built around making you perform.
I'll give you gentle direction when you need it, but I'm far more interested in how you interact with each other than whether your hands are positioned perfectly.
We'll walk, chat, laugh, probably make terrible jokes, and before you know it you'll stop thinking about the camera altogether.
The result is wedding photography that feels natural, relaxed and genuinely you.
No stiff poses.
No forced smiles.
No spending an hour pretending to stare dramatically into the distance.
Just real moments and bad-ass bitchin’ pics that feel like you.
Testimonial
“Anna seriously is absolute perfection at her craft. My wife and I specifically sought a photographer we vibed with and who could also capture our wedding candidly as we are both horrific at taking photos and hate the posed nature that wedding photos seem to always entail! She seriously blew us away with the sneaky peaks she sent through just a week or so after our big day! …[more]
