Was a bit hesitant to go for my first ever boudoir photoshoot until the amazing photographer Damien made my confidence go from 0-100 instantly! From the makeup and hair, the photoshoot to the showcasing of the beautiful photos, Exclusive Photography have been excellent in making sure I was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

My experience at Exclusive Photography was lit! I was hella nervous at first, but the squad there totally had my back. Miranda slayed my makeup game, and Damien, the photographer, was legit awesome. He even had me posing in my bra like it was NBD. Simone helped me choose the ultimate canvas-worthy pic. Overall, it was a vibes-filled experience, and I left with mad confidence.

What can I say but WOW.
I have never felt pretty or beautiful and today I was made to feel just that. Hair and make up was amazing.
The direction of what to out where and how was fabulous! Apon seeing the photos I cried! I have lost 60kg and had never seen it until this point. I can not wait to have the photos in my hot little hands.
Your team are all great and made us feel very comfortable from the moment we walked in the door.
Thank you

The photographer I worked with, Simone, was just incredible. She was kind, professional, and very seamless to work with. I adored her photos and was so in love with them, and wish I could have gotten them. However, I decided against it, as I cannot recommend nor support working with a studio with such misleading tactics. I entered my details to “win” a shoot at Exclusive. I wasn’t expecting anything, but they got back to me fairly quickly. When they said I’d gotten a $700 voucher, the very first question I asked was about pricing, specifically how much packages started at and what they included, eg.how much for all prints plus a few professionally edited ones. I was told that “packages started at 400, and went up to around 1000, and really could go as expensive as you wanted”. I thought I’d done my research, asked all the questions I wanted to, and gotten a response, and so I booked in and was excited. During the shoot, I did notice that in the studio lighting however that my makeup that I paid for with part of my voucher was not the right shade for my skin tone. I did like it initially and thanked the MUA for it, but a soon as I saw it in photos, I was unimpressed: it was way too yellow and was easily noticeable against my pale pink-shade skin. Regardless, I was told the photos weren't edited yet, so I didn't worry about it as it could be fixed, and really loved the photos and felt so happy with them. However, my excitement and confidence soon came plummeting down.

When I got to pricing, after already seeing all my photos and loving them, I was totally caught off guard. The price I was told was completely wrong; for all my 150 photos - UNEDITED - it was $3000. If that’s the studio’s pricing, that’s fine, but I specifically asked about this when I booked in and was told something completely different. I asked the question and was lied to/misled about it. I asked if I could have a day to think about it, I was told no, I had to let them know then and there. It was very predatory. I ended up agreeing to it. I got home and read reviews and not only realised I’d be taken advantage of, but so had many others. Other reviews mention having been told $400 and going up to around $1000, the exact values I was told, only to be blindsided and pressured into making a decision in that moment or losing their photos forever. I realised I’d made a huge mistake.

I managed to cancel my order, and when I explained why, I spoke to the lady who I initially booked in with, and asked about the pricing. I told her the prices she quoted to me didn't match what I was told I had to pay, and she actually said, verbatim, “Oh, that’s very bizarre as those aren't our prices and I would never quote those prices to you”, but I think she failed to realise that several other reviews mention the same numbers - $400, going up to $1000. Isn’t it a little strange that you’d never quote those prices, yet so many other reviews mention the exact same values? After I did cancel it, they emailed me to say I had a few days time to think over it and reinstate my order, which was such a slap in the face. I didn’t have time at 8: 00 at night, when I was tired and stressed out, to just wait until the next day to think about it, but now that I canceled my order, you’re gonna give me a few days to think it over? Where was that patience when I needed it?

I am truly saddened as the photos were absolutely incredible. I really wanted to get them, I truly did. It is a gorgeous studio with a professional setup, however I cannot condone this business practice. If I was told straight up what the prices were, I might have still booked in, but that didn't happen. To lure young women in, assure them that it’s affordable by giving incorrect or misleading prices, make them feel beautiful, and then pressure them to taking out loans to afford your product is absolutely horrific. I really did feel beautiful. Now, all I feel is embarrassment and shame for falling for this, even when I’m pretty savvy to scams and misleading schemes.

I would highly recommend Exclusive Photography!
From the minute we walked in, we were greeted and offered tea/coffee whilst we waited a short period of time! The hair and make up artist was absolutely lovely and did such an amazing job, the photographer was fun, he made my experience even more memorable and fun filled, above all the overall products were absolutely stunning! You could not get any better than Exclusive! I will happily be returning!

Thank you all for such an amazing experience

Such an amazing experience at Exclusive Photography. I’ve never been more nervous to do a shoot, especially the one I had today but the photographer, Damien made me feel so comfortable and the photos he captured were so great. Truly in awe of the work they do and will be back again in the future for more photo work!

Thankyou:)

It was my first time going for a photoshoot and I felt super comfortable and had a lot of fun!
I was able to bring a bunch of outfits to choose from (and even a special halloween piece I made) and the photographer helped me choose which ones would be best!
The pictures looked amazing and while the price of the prints were quite high I felt comfortable going on a plan to pay them off!
I can't wait to see the photos!
Thanks to the Exclusive Team

From the moment my husband and I walked in the door myself full of nerves, we felt comfortable. Hair and make up was absolutely stunning I've never seen myself with such a confident glowing look, make up and hair artist really drew out my natural tones and complexity. Our photographer Damien was out of this world amazing he made me feel comfortable and confident in showing myself in ways I've never done before, he also made our photography experience one to remember. Our photos are absolutely stunning, would definitely do it again! Highly recommend exclusive photography! Can't wait to collect our photos to display at home in a few weeks.

Booked a photoshoot for myself and was quite nervous, to get there and have everyone make me feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos that were taken were incredible and enjoyed how they got my friend involved to help support and give ideas!

Will definitely come back here again!

Thank you!

I just had my first photoshoot with Damien. We had family photos done, my 8.5 month old son was so happy and calm the whole time! And also a boudoir shot. Oh my goodness! I felt so confident and was made to feel safe and comfortable the whole time, and in the photos I feel like a goddess!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Overall an amazing experience with a friendly, professional team. Hair and makeup was done by Flo who did an incredible job. I've had a photoshoot with Simone as my photographer and the pictures couldn't have turned out any better. Well and surely exceeded all my expectations. The experience from welcome to goodbye couldn't have been any better.
The only downside was the high price at the end. I did purchase the "cheapest" bundle after having won a $700 voucher via Instagram, I still paid a lot on top. Yes, the pictures turned out amazing but it definitely has been the dearest photoshoot that I've done so far.
Nonetheless, I can wholeheartedly recommend Exclusive Photography. It's a great experience and the images you'll receive won't disappoint!

Overpriced.

My mum won the $700 package, actual shoot was great.

For photos the cheapest option we were offered was one canvas at $2600, which we were not prepared to pay at the time.
It would have been fine if they gave you pricing before hand.

Scam

Leading up to my appointment there was a few hick ups with myself not being able to make the appointment in these difficult times that we are all dealing with at the moment.
They were very understanding and helpful with moving my appointment to what suited me best.

From the moment I walked in the door, I was treated like royalty, I’ve never met a nicer bunch of people than these lovely people.
I was a bit nervous before I got there and they made me feel so at ease with my looks and my body.
I’m just now a year of 60 and they made me feel so young and beautiful, my husband is over the moon with his portrait.
I will definitely return for another portrait?

I had an amazing time at Exclusive Photography! They made me feel very comfortable shooting in lingerie. I took inspirational photographs with me and they made sure to try and get all of the poses that I wanted. Hair and makeup was perfect. Definitely a confidence boost to see myself like that but also had a laugh and enjoyed the fun. Thank you for the amazing photos!
