Velissaris Photography

One of the best professional photographers not only in Balwyn and eastern suburbs but In Melbourne. We recently had the chance for taking family photos on our 20 years wedding anniversary at Velissaris photo studio. This is the place you would experience creative photography VS photography. You quickly will find Paul's vast experience not only in photo shooting skills, but the way he communicates with his clients that how to be themselves for the best possible outcome. He created a workshop environment experience by taking over 50 photos of us for the final 4.Skills, creativity, time and efforts he adds to his job, friendships he makes with his clients & bringing your best to life are just some of Paul's strengths. I definitely recommend Velissaris Photography in Balwyn.

Thanks Paul for a great experience - the sitting was a first time experience for us and the kids really enjoyed it! The photos are wonderful - so pleased that you could capture everyone's personality. The process was efficient and we are super happy with the results. Thanks again. Jess & Gerry

Paul and Chrissy were so lovely through the whole process. They let us do the shoot at a time that suited us. They made sure the photoshoot would suit both our personalities and our house. Paul was terrific with our daughters, who aren't easy to wrangle at the best of times. And the final photos were just absolutely stunning. 5/5 would very happily recommend Paul to friends and family.

Our family of four had photos taken recently. Paul was fun and put all of us at ease. We loved the outcome of the shots at our viewing and can't wait to have them up on our walls. Thanks Paul and Chrissy.

We are a family with two young boys aged 6 and 4. One of my reservations about having family photos taken was how the photographer would capture us as a family, particularly given the boys can be shy and slow to warm up. Right from the beginning Paul was wonderful and engaging with the boys, making them laugh, and they loved him. We had our photo viewing yesterday and loved them. There was a range of expressions and feels to select from and most importantly my husband and I both loved the same photos which we will be putting up above our fireplace! Thanks Paul!

Thank you Paul for your beautiful artwork! Our kids really enjoyed the photoshoot experience and you came up with some really creative ideas that captured truly beautiful shots - which we love. We can't wait to receive the framed prints. And it was really lovely to meet you Paul!

Professional, fun and the photos were beyond all expectation and absolutely amazing!! It is not easy photographing the elderly, two teenage boys and a dog all at the same time but Paul made the experience easy and relaxing. The whole process was thoroughly explained and there are lots of opportunities to discuss the type of portraits you want and the look you are after. And if you have no idea you can leave it to Paul to capture the moment! He made everyone feel welcome, smiling and wanting a piece of the action ( including our dog). The only difficult part is stopping yourself from ordering all the photos!! Prices are extremely reasonable. Highly recommend!!!

We want to thank Paul and Chrissy from Velissaris Photography, for this special experience and outstanding work. We got portraits of our teenagers. The lead up was great, they wanted to get an idea of what we are like and what we need. We really appreciate how crucial it is to have that thorough preparation. The amazing gallery on their website helped us on deciding what “feel” we wanted for the photos. Shoot day… Paul was professional and fun, he really got the kids to open up as they were initially stiff and embarrassed, that’s impressive! As a mother, I was emotional when I saw the pictures. Paul managed to bring out young adults in our teenagers. After the shoot, both our teenagers felt so happy with shoot and themselves. With Paul’s guidance, it gave them both an opportunity to open up and explore a new confidence in themselves. Paul has decades of artistic experience, with all his knowledge and guidance in selecting photos and the perfect framing, it really resulted in stunning pieces of art to display in our home, not just photos. Thank you Paul for your patience during photo selection, all photos are beautiful.

We had an awesome experience at the Velissaris Photography recently. We met Paul last week for the shooting and this week for photo selection. Awesome communication and manners. Kids loved it. Highly recommended. All the best Paul.

Paul was the ultimate professional. When visitors come to our house, they always comment on the quality of the beautiful family portraits front and centre in our living room. Thanks Paul for a fabulous experience. You really captured the personalities of our children and have frozen them in time. Such precious memories to have, as we see them quickly grow. Paul is extremely organised from start to finish and is passionate about his work. Thank you Paul for the most amazing photos of our family.(5 star experience, only dropped a star because price was a little higher than we had expected)
