“I wish I could rate Across the Forest more highly than just 5 stars. They deserve at least 100. Anton was supportive, fun, down to earth and so so amazing at capturing our day. My hubby and I are NOT camera people, hate being in photos and are not really photogenic, however Anton made us feel like natural models! He was so clear with directions, was so creative and so understanding. Our photos are stunning - choose Across the Forest for your wedding photography, you honestly will not be happier. ”
Britt & Tyler
“Anton is so amazing, chill and helpful - such a great presence on what is typically a very high emotion day. Our wedding photos look incredible and we are so happy! I love the architectural/realist/geometric/candid/relaxed style of the photography.”
Lionle & Lizzie
“Such a wonderful experience with Anton! He made the day feel easy, fun and was very collaborative - he wanted to know what sort of style and vibe we wanted and even came to our rehearsal to meet everyone. I would highly recommend him!”
Sara & Jordan
"If I could give 10 stars, I would. Anton and Raya were an absolute dream to work with and our photos have turned out so beautifully. If I could do it all again, I would use Across The Forest every single time. Also, Anton made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which I honestly thought was legit impossible."
Katie & Stephan
“We were a little uncomfortable in front of the camera and they really helped us put our guard down so we could achieve beautiful candid shots. I would highly recommend them to anybody!”
Alice & Aaron

Meet the Photographer

Hi, I’m Anton!

wedding photographer sydney

“Authenticity comes first, no performing for the camera and you don’t need to spend half your wedding day taking photos.

I help you stay present while quietly documenting everything that matters.

On a wedding day I look for the quiet, stolen glances, the loud laughter, and the beautiful, unscripted mess in between.

I bring a lot of heart, and a relaxed energy that lets you forget the camera is even there.”

Anton Kross

This is why we’re the perfect fit!

~ FAQ ~

If you are looking for a perfect blend of Digital Photography, Film Snaps, and a quick 30–60 second social media-style highlight reel, we’ve got you covered (see example here). 

However, if you are after a full-length wedding film, a multi-camera setup, or audio recording (like full speeches and vows), we highly recommend booking a specialised videographer and would love to send you our list of recommended vendors!

Yes! Most packages already include a roll of film. But you can add more to have a full analog story of your day and have digital snaps as a back up.

If we are talking about the photo shoot, the time you are away from the guests – not long at all 30 min is a good amount + place 15 min for sunset snaps if there is an opportunity to sneak out.

If we are talking about when you are going to see your wedding gallery – you will get a sneak peek NEXT DAY or so. The rest of the gallery will be ready within a few weeks.

 

Yes! I will ask a few questions closer to the wedding day (when you already know all the deets) to put together a wedding photography run sheet. And if you have any questions before that, organasing your makeuo timing or what not, I’m always happy to help!

Not at all. I make the portraits part of the wedding day as easier for you as possible.

Yes please! It would be greatly appreciated. Please, if it’s possible make a note to your caterer to serve our meal at the same time as your guests, so we won’t miss speeches or any other important moments.

One more quick note, Anton will eat everything that is available on the menu.

Please, get in touch to check if we are available for your date and look at our wedding packages. After that it would be great to meet up for coffee or chat over a video call to get to know each other.

If you feel that I am the right match and you want us to be there to capture your beautiful wedding we will ask for a 20% deposit to secure the date. The final payments are due before the wedding.

“Across the Forest are an incredible team who go above and beyond.

On our big day, Anton was confident and completely on top of everything. His calm, assured approach put us at ease, and his photography was exceptional. He has an incredible eye and effortlessly finds beautiful moments to capture.

Without a doubt, we’d recommend Anton & Raya to anyone!”
