RealWeddings Guide
Ali Bailey is a Melbourne-based wedding and elopement photographer with over 10 years of experience, having shot more than 400 weddings across Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France and the USA.
Based in Melbourne but available to travel anywhere, Ali takes on a limited number of weddings each year — around 30 out of the 400+ enquiries she receives annually — so she can be fully present before, during and after each couple's day.
Her approach favours honest, natural documentation over posed shots, aiming for images that feel true to each couple while also capturing the guests who share in the day.
Every wedding collection includes one roll of 35mm film, with a full-day film option also available, and Ali offers fine art albums as well as a second-shooter add-on (recommended for weddings over 120 guests).
She will be shooting in Italy and France from May to July 2027.
Sure do! I will be back in Italy and France from May - July 2027.
I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, but I adore travelling and will jump at any chance to go anywhere. Let me know your plans, and I’ll put together a custom quote for you! I’ll be back in Europe in May through to July 2027.
I’ve been shooting weddings for over 10 years now. I’ve shot over 400 weddings both in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France and the USA.
Yes of course. Meetings online and in person are available each week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
Yes! I offer fine art albums-beautifully crafted, high-end books designed to show off your wedding photos in the most timeless way. They’re the perfect way to relive your day for years to come. More info to come - please ask if you would like more infomation
Yes! Every couple gets 1 roll of film included in their days coverage. I also offer full day film shooting too, which is usually 4-5 rolls.
I do offer a second photographer. Normally they can come along to help cover the ceremony through to the early parts of your reception (or longer if you wish). I often shoot alone, but it can be a great idea to have a second person roaming around if you are having a large wedding with over 120 people, that way more of your gorgeous guests will be photographed.
Pop all your info into my contact form and I’ll be back in touch with my pricing and availability within 2 days.
I receive over 400 enquiries each year but only take on around 30 weddings. This means I can be fully present and involved before, during and after your day. The more detail you can share about your plans, the better I can get a sense of whether we’re the right fit from the start.

Natural, stylish wedding photography capturing the people, details and moments that make your celebration uniquely yours.
