When it comes to your wedding day, it’s often the smallest, most thoughtful details that leave the greatest impression. That’s where Alabaster & Ink comes in. Founded by Abbie Waters, A&I specialises in bespoke, hand-lettered signage, stationery, keepsakes, and live calligraphy experiences designed to transform celebrations into unforgettable moments.
From elegant welcome signs and seating charts to hand-engraved perfume bottles and wine glasses, every piece is crafted with artistry, care, and precision. Abbie works closely with couples to bring their wedding vision to life seamlessly, offering expert guidance and thoughtful touches every step of the way. The entire process is designed to be stress-free, giving couples confidence that their wedding details are in good hands.
Alabaster & Ink provide tailored packages, ensuring every couple achieves a cohesive and polished look, whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration. Each project includes one-of-a-kind, bespoke designs, rather than relying on pre-made templates, meaning each collection is truly unique. Many of Abbie’s creations are also made to last well beyond the wedding day, becoming cherished heirlooms that can be treasured for years to come.
Abbie’s passion for calligraphy began during her university years, when a love for ink and paper provided a creative escape from study. What started as a calming hobby has since grown into a passion-driven business, trusted by couples across Australia.
Your wedding deserves more than just decoration. It deserves artistry, intention, and details that capture your journey.. and that’s exactly what Alabaster & Ink delivers.
Your wedding day is more than just a day — it’s the beginning of your forever story. Let’s make sure it feels like you — personal, meaningful, and full of joy and a whole lot of fun along the way!
Based in beautiful Mildura, I photograph weddings with a big heart for connection. My style is soft and natural that lets you relax and be yourselves. From the morning getting-ready chaos to those golden-hour “just married” portraits, I’m all about telling your love story in a way that feels genuine, joy-filled, and timeless.
But for me, your story doesn’t end at “I do.” As a legacy photographer, I love continuing the journey with my couples — from celebrating newlywed milestones to capturing the precious early days with your newborn, and the family memories that follow. Your love story becomes your life story, and I’m honoured to preserve it all, creating photographs that will be cherished for generations.
If you’re looking for someone to hold your story with care and capture it with heart, I’d be honoured to be that person.
Let’s make something beautiful together.

I first picked up a camera back in high school, where I loved taking photos of trees, plants and animals. I never thought it would lead me to where I am today, but looking back, it makes sense that photography became such a big part of my life.
While working in childcare, one of the parents asked if I could take photos of their children playing. From there, I began doing yearly photos for local childcare and kindergarten centres. Not long after, I was asked to photograph a wedding. I’ll be honest, I was nervous at first, but once I got behind the camera, I absolutely loved it. That day really showed me this was something I wanted to keep doing.
What makes my work a little different is that I’m a hybrid shooter. That means I capture both photography and videography at the same time. Couples don’t have to choose between the two, and I can create both beautiful still images and cinematic films that bring the day back to life in motion.
Based here in Mildura, I’ve had the chance to capture weddings at some of the region’s favourite venues, and I love highlighting the natural beauty of Sunraysia in my work. Looking ahead, I’m working towards becoming a full-time photographer and one day opening my own little studio.
For me, it’s all about capturing those real, genuine moments that couples will look back on forever.

Mildura Photographer Calida Pendock: Turning Life into Art For more than a decade, Mildura photographer Calida Pendock has been transforming life’s most precious moments into timeless works of art through her business, Mildura Photography. Her love affair with photography began in high school, experimenting with film and even crafting a pinhole camera from a cardboard box to develop images in the darkroom. What started as curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Soon, Calida moved into digital photography, capturing family and pets before welcoming her first clients and from that moment, she never looked back. Over the years, she has photographed weddings, debutantes, families, newborns, and maternity sessions. Her philosophy is simple: every shoot should feel natural, comfortable, and true to her clients. “I believe in love, dreamy sunsets and fairytales,” she says. “Photography isn’t just about images it’s about people, connection, and creating memories that last forever.” Calida’s dedication has taken her across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia at one point photographing weddings every weekend for a year while pregnant with her first child. These days, she focuses her lens closer to home while raising her two daughters, though her passion for capturing life’s beauty remains stronger than ever. Clients often describe her work as timeless and magical a rare blend of professionalism and heart. For Calida, every moment matters, whether joyful, tender, or bittersweet. She captures not just how life looks, but how it feels. It’s a philosophy she carries into every shoot, summed up in three simple words: Love. Legacy. Art.
