Graduation, Formal & Deb



From graduation ceremonies and Year 12 formals to deb balls and milestone celebrations, these moments deserve to be remembered. At Matilda May Creative, I offer graduation, formal and deb photography in Mount Gambier and across the Limestone Coast, creating timeless images that celebrate this exciting chapter of your life. Whether you're looking for individual portraits, photographs with your partner, family or friends, or coverage throughout your special event, every session is relaxed, enjoyable and tailored to you.


Sessions can take place at your school, formal venue, family property or one of the many beautiful outdoor locations around Mount Gambier. My goal is to create natural, elegant photographs that capture not only how you looked, but how this milestone felt. Whether you're celebrating the end of school, preparing for your deb or dressing up for your formal, I'd love to help you preserve these memories with beautiful photographs you'll look back on for years to come.
