Bold. Timeless. Emotional.

At Cole Studios, our Black & White Wedding Photography focuses on what truly matters — emotion, connection, and timeless storytelling. Without the distraction of colour, every glance, tear, and smile takes centre stage, allowing the raw beauty of your wedding day to shine through.

This style is perfect for couples who love classic elegance and want their wedding album to have a refined, artistic edge. From emotional vows to candid reactions and intimate portraits, black and white photography creates bold, striking images that feel both modern and timeless.

We use professional lighting and expert editing to enhance contrast, texture, and atmosphere — delivering a gallery filled with depth, drama, and soul. Whether it’s a quiet moment between the couple or the energy of the dance floor, these images feel honest, emotional, and unforgettable.

What People Say About Us

  • Our wedding photos still make me cry every time I look at them. They caught every little glance, the way my dad looked walking me down the aisle, even the laughs on the dance floor. Nothing felt staged, just us being us.

    — Emma Clarke

  • Quotation marks in black outlines on a white background

    We chose a cinematic wedding videographer and honestly it feels like a movie. The way they used music and the shots of our vows were incredible. Even our friends keep saying it’s the best wedding video they have seen. We will treasure it forever.

    — Daniel Murphy

  • Quotation marks symbol on a black background.

    Getting family photos with two toddlers is no easy job but they made it fun. The kids laughed, ran around and somehow those moments turned into the best pictures we own. Messy and happy. Thanks, Jason!

    — Sarah Jenkins

  • Quotation marks on a transparent background.

    I was nervous about a pregnancy photoshoot but Jason made me feel relaxed and beautiful. We did some outdoor shots and the natural light was stunning. Looking back, I’m so glad I captured that stage of life. It is something special for my daughter too.

    — Chloe Matthews

  • Empty quotation marks

    I booked a corporate headshot package for our team and the results were professional but not cold. Everyone looked approachable and confident. It has actually lifted how people see our business online. Quick turnaround too which was a big help for us.

    — Ben Thompson

  • Stylized quotation marks on a black background

    We wanted some unique shots for our property and their drone photography was unreal. The angles over the coast and the way it showed the whole space was just breathtaking. It felt like we were seeing our place in a completely new way.

    — Olivia Harris

  • Quotation marks in black on a white background.

    Our family could not all travel to the service so the livestream funeral meant everyone could still be part of it. It was clear, respectful, and gave comfort to family watching from overseas. It felt like we were all together even though we weren’t.
