Hey!

We’re Dani & Ludo, the husband-and-wife team behind Ludo Petrik Wedding Photography, based in Newcastle, NSW with our two little guys Sammy & Leo.

We love weddings and everything they entail, and we will do everything we can to ensure your experience with us is as stress free, easy, and enjoyable as possible!!

Deciding which company to book your wedding photography / videography with is a big deal!

Whoever you choose will be there with you for most of the day, you need to feel comfortable around them, be able to have a laugh, relax and be yourselves. For this reason, we like to have a chat with couples before booking, it gives us a chance to get to know each other and for you to get a feel if we would be the right people to work with and capture your big day.

To give you a bit of an idea of how we work, I’m Dani, the one behind pretty much all the words (including this little intro!) while I should not be let loose behind a camera, Ludo should not be let loose behind writing content!!

What can you expect when you book with us?

Throughout the planning journey I’ll be your main point of contact (although Ludo is always around for a chat too!)  I’ll be there to answer any questions along the way, to help with run sheets, optimal photography timings, coordinate with other vendors etc. I want to make sure the lead up to your big day is as seamless and stress free from a photography / videography perspective as possible.

Ludo shoots both photo and video and will be there with you on the day, and if you book both we’ll have another team member working alongside him. Ludo and the team are all super friendly, great fun and very talented at what they do! All the footage from the day is then edited by Ludo, he’s the one that delivers the gorgeous galleries of photos and creates the unique, beautiful films you see on our website and socials. As you will have seen our style is very relaxed, natural and in the moment, so aside from the bridal portraits when it is good to have some posed shots, Ludo and our team will be buzzing around in the background capturing the day as it naturally unfolds, for a lot of the time you won’t even know they’re there!

And after it’s all said and done, we’re still here if you ever have any questions or if you’re looking to have another photoshoot, be-it for an event, maternity, or family photos. No matter what it is we absolutely love it when our past couples ask Ludo back to capture more memories for them, it’s so special having the opportunity to do this.

Thanks for reading until the end! I hope this has given you more of an insight into us and our business. If you think we might be the right team for you please get in touch, we would love to chat more!
