At Little Shop of Horrors, our Couples Character Photography experience is your chance to become your favourite on-screen duo. Whether you’re partners in crime, star-crossed lovers, or the most iconic villain and hero face-off of all time, this is the ultimate Movie Makeover made for two.

From the moment you arrive, we’re all in. Each of you will be styled in one of our incredible screen-quality costumes*, with character-accurate makeup and either professional wig applications or custom hair styling - whichever your character requires. We guide you through the whole experience… from choosing the perfect pairing to posing in character together. We’ll make sure you feel confident, connected, and have the time of your lives while creating unforgettable images.

The real thrill is watching the transformation unfold twice over, and then seeing how your characters play off each other in front of the camera. In the studio, our photographer brings it all to life with dramatic lighting, bold shadows, and cinematic colour that doesn’t just capture you in costume… it captures your chemistry as the characters.

Your shared experience runs for 6-8 hours, including time for styling, makeup, costume fittings, and your personalised studio photography session. Along the way, you’ll enjoy refreshments and a selection of tea and coffee.

After your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of proofs so you can select your favourite moments. High-resolution, professionally edited digital images are not included in the base package but can be purchased individually or in curated bundles… choose as few or as many as you love.

*This package includes costumes up to our Grand Heritage level with character makeup for both participants. If your chosen looks involve more elaborate costumes or complex makeup designs, just let us know and we’ll provide a custom quote.

Not All Characters Are Created Equal

Understanding Your Makeup Options

From avant-garde beauty, iconic characters or full-blown cinematic creatures, every Movie Makeover is different. Some transformations are achieved with paint and contouring… others call for scars, prosthetics, and serious special effects.

Click on each image below to explore the difference between Character Makeup and the Creature Feature Upgrade - so you’ll know exactly which service your character transformation calls for.

P.S. Extras, like bald caps, horns and fake noses, are available as additional upgrades - just ask!

YOUR DIGITAL IMAGES

GALLERY SELECTION & ORDERING

After your photoshoot, you’ll receive a private online gallery of watermarked proofs to view at your leisure. From there, you can select your favourite images to purchase individually or as part of a curated bundle, choose as few or as many as you love.

Each image you select is meticulously hand-edited by our photographer. We’re not talking filters or presets, this is professional retouching, pixel by pixel. We colour-grade for drama, sculpt with light and shadow, smooth flyaways, enhance details, and polish every portrait to perfection. It’s the kind of work usually reserved for magazine covers, and your photos deserve no less.

We’ve intentionally kept our photoshoot session pricing lower by not including digital images upfront. Why? Because no two clients are the same. Some want just one show-stopping portrait, others want the entire gallery… so we’ve built a flexible system that lets you decide how far you want to go.

High-resolution, professionally edited images are available to purchase separately, starting at $200 for a single image, with packages available for even better value. Because when the images are this good, you’ll want to take more than one home.

Studio sessions are booked and paid in full prior to your appointment. There’s no need to decide on images in advance, once you receive your private gallery of proofs, you’re free to select and purchase as many or as few professionally edited images as you like. T&Cs can be found here.
