Weddings by Library

Library is a collective of independent artists

Bride and groom embrace beside a black wrought-iron fence under a leafy tree, with a figure standing in the distance on a leaf-strewn path.

Take a picture,it'll last longer

  1. Couple stands beneath flowing white sheer fabric in a garden setting with tree branches overhead.

    You’re having a wedding, and let us be the first to say: This Day, This is ancient.

  2. Groom and bride embrace outdoors with bokeh foliage blurred in the background.

    The Case for Love: We agree with the critics. The industry is greedy, the history of marriage is dark, the statistics are against you, the world is fractured. And yet we are doing it anyway.

  3. Overhead view of a packed dark room with a spotlight, a bride in white near the centre of the crowd and tables below.

    In a contemporary western landscape characterised by fragmentation, rising secularism and hyper-individualism, traditional milestones have been decentralised, digitised or discarded entirely. Rites of passage and communal rituals no longer hold universal societal weight. Yet, amidst this cultural clearing, the wedding stands out as a massive, resilient anomaly.

  4. Bride touches her face emotionally while groom beams beside her outdoors in formal wedding attire.

    The wedding survives because it satisfies the hardwired human requirement for a true rite of passage: a distinct threshold crossing where a person enters a space as one thing and leaves as another, witnessed by a gathered community.

  5. The bride, seen from behind, raises a champagne glass to a guest beside a blossom-painted wall at White Horse.

    Capturing this day is not an act of commercial vanity, but a beautiful, primal defiance against time. It creates a visual artefact proving that, amidst a fractured world, something mattered enough to stop and record it.

  6. Dark frame with two silhouetted pairs of legs and feet standing in a pool of red light on the floor, casting long shadows.

    This is how we see it. This is our case for love and the wedding day.

Couple stands together in sunlight before a grid-windowed brutalist building.

Why we started a Co-op Agency model.

This post isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about looking at what could exist between those two poles: not the factory line or the solo grind, but a collective of experience, independence, and shared values.

What they’ve been saying about us.

  • We were absolutely stoked when we saw the photos. They were everything we asked for and more. We can't wait to properly go through them in the coming months and share the precious moments that you so elegantly captured with our family and friends. Ultimately though, we just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU for all that you did for us, not only on the day, but in the lead up to the big day. You were, by large and far, the most easy-going, calming person who knew how to command the room, and it truly made such a difference to our day and our experience. We felt like we got to really take everything in and everything felt so completely natural. We cannot thank you enough!!!

  • Photos that captured the moment! Photos that brought memories back into life! The vision of the photographer was beyond what we Imagined. The photos were a dream come true! A wedding is an expensive celebration and I couldn't think of anyone else that could capture it better than Jarred. His professionalism and vision are second to none. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. His patience and dedication to his work reassured us that he is the best in the field. His attention to detail was of high calibre. I cannot speak highly enough about his work.

  • Jarred!!!!! What can we say!!! You and Jodi are absolutely brilliant, words cannot describe how grateful we are for both of you! For me personally, it was when I was getting ready and my mum put on my late grandmothers ring. I've always had difficulty expressing my emotions and wanted to suppress the tears to brush past, but you made sure I was present in the moment and really soaked it all in. I am so grateful we have those pictures honouring my grandmothers spirit, and that's all due to you being absolutely incredible at what you do. Same goes for Jodi, Rob told me in the car after the church how Jodi was the perfect calming presence for his morning of making sure Rob and the family was comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you so much again from the bottom of our hearts, lots of love Rob and Tash xx

  • Jarred and his team member Jodi did the most magnificent job capturing our wedding day. We were truly overwhelmed by the quality and the sheer volume of photos...which they managed to deliver in record time! Within a few days we had a good sample of 50 photos before receiving the full batch (1000s!). Jarred did a particularly good job of understanding and catering to our taste in photography (candid, warm, slightly more artistic and editorial), as well as capturing endless moments featuring all our guests. Some of my favourite shots were the final ones from the dancefloor and us departing at the very end of the night - very fun action shots with high exposure, almost paparazzi-like. I did lots of research and found Jarred's price point the most reasonable when considering the quality and output of photos. Jarred is truly so talented and wonderful to work with. We can't recommend Library Weddings enough!

  • Hi Jarred! Johann and I wanted to say a massive thank you for being part of our day! We've looked through the photos and they're amazing, and we loved the slideshow with the music too. We really appreciate your support leading up to and on the day, and especially how you worked with us to get the best shots with the rain. I especially loved the shots with us the umbrellas on the grass - a friend of mine said they reminded her of a Victorian garden party 😍 So happy we chose you as our photographer - if we can help at all by writing a review in some place just let us know. Hit us up if you're ever in Paris, would be great to have a drink with you. Best, Claire & Johann
