We're Hilary & Nicola, a Sydney based couple who specialise in country wedding photography. In collaboration with you we strive to capture images that evoke, inspire and delight. Fragile flowers to grand ballrooms - we put effort into capturing both epic scenes and finer details. Our speciality is country weddings. If your venue is within the highlighted area our travel is free on our most popular package.
Services
Hilary and partner Nicola are behind Hilary Cam Photography. Hilary is the photographer, retoucher and administrator. Nicola is the second photographer, shoot stylist, image sorter, pinterest procrastinator and an all-things-wedding enthusiast. If you choose us to document your day you will get to know both of us well - we take turns answering your emails and are here to help if you have any hitches while you plan out your wedding.
Our 2.5hr Adventure Sessions offer truly epic locations that have surpassed our 'awesome test' and offer wildly different experiences and scenery that just can't be replicated in Sydney. All that's left to do is pick a favourite outfit (or two) - we recommend something smart casual (plus another more dressed-up if you like).
Our most popular package! A generous block of time designed to cover all the essentials, from your preparations before the ceremony through to guests on the dance floor. Our payment schedule is comprised of 3 payments. We're based in Sydney but love destination weddings in the Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Kangaroo Valley & Nowra.
In every interaction with our clients and at every stage of our workflow we strive to deliver the best quality service, imagery and products. By understanding your vision we plan an approach to capture authentic and meaningful photographs. We first discover who you are and what your wedding is about.
We wanted an understated and elegant photo book and searched the world for the perfect coffee table album. With a history of book binding and origami it's a natural choice that the finest paper technology comes from Japan. These slim albums feature silky pages that lay completely flat, allowing huge panoramic shots that jump right off the page.

Hilary and Nic are the dream photography team! We were lucky enough to have them photograph our wedding in October 2021. They brought an incredible amount of energy to the day and were able to capture every moment! Our wedding was shortly after Sydney lockdown ended and they were very responsive and understanding as we discussed different options during this uncertain time. I could not recommend them more highly! They are professional, kind, fun to be around and the quality of their work is exceptional! Thank you very much Hilary and Nic!!

Professional, organised, and attention to detail are the words that come to mind when we think of our wonderful photographer duo.
After our initial meeting, we received a follow up email the very next day with an interactive run sheet, and details of available packages customised to our requests. We were very impressed!
It’s easy to see how they’re skilled in what they do and the expertise in the way they speak. They created a map route of our desired photo locations, worked around our planned schedule with other vendors and created a shot list to ensure they captured everything we desired

We are really glad we chose Hilary and Nic as our wedding photographers. They are well organised, professional and friendly. They reply all of our many wedding enquiries promptly and they go the extra mile of scouting locations and getting us organised for our wedding! We were extremely happy with our wedding pictures and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer.

Hilary Cam Photography will exceed your expectations. Hilary and Nicola completely over delivered for our wedding in May, and we will be forever grateful. Runsheets, general advice, photo opportunities, bridal party pics etc were all discussed and decided way before our wedding so that on the day we didn't have a moment of stress. In the special moments, we didn't even notice them floating around taking the absolutely magical pictures we now have as lifelong memories! Thank you Hilary and Nicola. We wish we could re-live our day 100 times over!

I don't even know where to start to accurately describe how INCREDIBLE and TALENTED Hilary and Nicola are - and they're A+ humans too. I'll try though...
We loved how super organised they were. They think about big picture and all the little details you might forget along the way. Hilary and Nicola are a well oiled machine. They both bring… something different to the table. They made the whole experience very easy for us - we were immediately comfortable with them and knew we were in safe hands.
In case you can't tell from their epic portfolio already, I can attest to the fact that their

Hilary and Nicola made our wedding day so special, and truly went above and beyond to capture all the love and happiness on the day. Our photos are so incredible, and we couldn't be happier with them! We can’t thank the both of them enough for the way they have captured our wedding day.

Hilary and Nicola were fantastic! We hired them for our wedding (which was postponed, and they were extremely understanding in negotiating a new date) and at all times they were responsive, thoughtful, flexible and lovely. And the photographs are beautiful! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone - absolute gems!

Hilary & Nicola’s passion is magnetic, ensuring you feel stress free and comfortable. Photography is not a side hobby for them, it is a full-time passion and you can witness this in the extraordinary lengths they go to planning how to capture the entire day. They even went out of their way to gather guest names for group shots to ensure no-one is missed in the flurry of events! I loved that, unlike the over-saturated, washed-out style that seems to be trending but never ends well in print, their editing is full of beautiful contrasts and a balanced eye for natural and editorial shots to give

Hilary and Nicola were wonderful. They are an incredibly warm and personable couple and a pleasure to be around. In advance of the day, they were well organised and listened closely. They were readily available to answer any questions and provided terrific recommendations. On the day they were seamless - they captured many heartfelt moments without us even realising. Our photographs turned out perfectly! We could not recommend them more highly!

Hilary and Nicola are not only immensely talented and professional photographers, but incredibly kind, funny and generous individuals. Having them play such an important part in our wedding was an absolute pleasure, and we cannot imagine our special day without them. Their professionalism, passion and joy for their work shines through every step of the process, from the first consultation through to the production of the final photographs. They made us feel completely at ease and comfortable on the day and managed to perfectly capture the little details, special moments and overall atmosphere of

We're so thankful that Hilary and Nicola were the photographers for our wedding. From the very first meeting, they blew us away with their friendliness, warmth and wealth of experience. We could tell we were in safe hands and felt comfortable relying on them for every step of the process. Everything was well organised and thought out and they went… above and beyond to suggest changes/additions that made our day even better. The photo shoot on the day itself was really fun and we felt so comfortable throughout, as if we were just hanging out with some really fun and talented friends and having

I had seen Hilary and Nicola's work a few years before we had even gotten engaged by chance and had bookmarked them because their portfolio impressed me so much. When it came time to plan our own wedding we checked as many photographer's portfolios as we could to make sure I wasn't biased but Hilary Cam still came out on top. We booked an… appointment in with them as soon as we put a deposit down on the venue, they were our second vendor!
The meeting went amazing, as seasoned wedding experts they helped us so much in our first meeting and even helped us work out our timeline for the day

Thank you to the amazingly talented Hilary and Nicola for capturing every precious part of our wedding day. Absolutely everyone is madly in love with our photos. Hilary and Nic perfectly captured every intimate moment between Liam and me, moments of love and joy shared by our family and friends and of course, every hilarious dance floor move. They… made our photo shoots effortless and playful. When we took our stunning box full of photos home with us and started to look through each image, we couldn’t help but shed some happy tears. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime and

Hilary and Nicola were our wedding photographers this past weekend and we could not have been happier with our choice of photographers. They were equally as creative as they were patient and accommodating and our guests love them as much as we do. our long day seemed to go by so quick and Hilary and Nicola captured all our moments so seamlessly.
We cannot wait to see the photos and we already know they will be amazing. We would gladly recommend this duo to anyone looking for a fun, passionate and professional wedding photography service.

So awesome. Hilary and Nic are (obviously) great photographers but they also helped make our wedding itself better: during the entire process they were full of helpful advice and suggestions, our engagement… shoot was great fun and we got some incredible photos from it, and then on the day they were with us from early in the morning till the end of the night keeping everyone happy and involved. They were great at working with us to get the kinds of photos we were after, but also offering suggestions that we hadn't even thought of. At the end of it all we got great (GREAT) photos and we were

What an absolute pleasure it was to have Hilary and Nicola photograph our wedding. Having seen their work before, they fit perfectly with our mountain venue and theme. We needed a photographer who understood… the unique nature of our Sinhalese Poruwa Wedding Ceremony and willing to go the extra mile. Hilary Cam Photography did not disappoint! They are hands down the most professional vendor we have worked with. They were extremely organised, making the entire wedding planning process that little bit easier for us. On the day of our wedding, we felt comfortable from the get go, making us
