Our team have spent many years focused on formals and capturing the glamour and excitement of the occasion. After hundreds of successful events we’re confident in what we can deliver for you. We’ve perfected our technique using the latest equipment, technical lighting and editing software. Talk to us today about our range of packages suitable for your school formal, including our popular “prepaid formal photography” package and the fantastic extras we offer to our loyal customers. Optional add-ons like photobooth are also available on request.

Great Service

We’re proud to be the formal photographers of choice for many schools all over Queensland. We value the relationship we build with your school and community and ensuring your images are treated with the utmost privacy and confidentiality. We will come to your formal early to set up lighting and  backdrops, take unlimited photos at the event and stay for as long as required. We’ve avoided the trend to outsource aspects of production to third party options and have kept everything from editing to printing completed in-house to ensure quality and security. We’re proudly Queensland owned and operated since 1928, employing locals and supporting the community who support us.

Great Product

We’re committed to quality and delivering our photography to the high standard Ranald Simmonds prided himself on. You can expect your edited images to be custom cropped, colour and contrast corrected and come in both colour and black and white options. On close up images we undertake gentle editing – we’re not going to change eye colour or remove birthmarks etc. We can provide digital files of select photos with any chosen print purchases – perfect to be used on social media.

Great Price

We’re firm believers that you should only pay for a product, not a privilege. While some companies will charge you booking fees, call out fees and minimum hourly rates to photograph for you, we’ve structured our business to ensure our customers aren’t going to incur any hidden fees just to engage our services. We generate our income from you ordering the photos. You can choose to purchase as few or as many as you like. There’s various packages and options to suit any budget. Many schools are opting to go with our “prepaid formal photography” package to incorporate the photography cost in with the overall formal costs.

With nearly a century of experience in delivering exceptional photography, the trusted team at Ranald Simmonds are excited to provide you with high quality images and world class service for your school formal.  All our photographers are Blue Card holders and trained in correct posing, staging and use of lighting. We offer a 100% money back guarantee if you’re not entirely satisfied with our work – but we’re pretty confident you’ll love what we can deliver!
