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).

Couples send their details through Ali's contact form, and she replies with pricing and availability within 2 days.
Ali takes on around 30 weddings a year, from more than 400 enquiries. The more detail couples share about their plans, the easier it is to tell whether she's the right fit.
