The lawn next to Winthrop hall at UWA is perfect for a large outdoor wedding and is really a blank canvas for you to style to your hearts content.

Postal hall is situated in the centre of the State buildings and offer’s a timeless, heritage-rich, super romantic setting for couples seeking a truly grand and elegant, luxury wedding. Postal hall is a wedding photographer’s dream, every corner is beautiful and filled with history. With bespoke catering options from Post (My absolute favourite in Perth) or Petition and accommodation packages for COMO The Treasury, it will be a night you will never forget.

Lamont’s Bishops house

Nestled in the heart of Perth's historic West End, Lamont's Bishops House stands as a true gem among the city's wedding venues. With its rich history dating back to the 1850s, this heritage-listed building’s timeless charm and elegance makes it a top choice for couples seeking a unique and romantic setting for their special day.

Assembly Yard, Fremantle

Assembly Yard is the perfect blank canvas for your wedding ceremony or reception. They have three different beautiful spots, a garden in one corner, the outdoor courtyard and indoor open space. These option’s mean the weather will never be an issue for your wedding; giving you the option of outdoor reception under the star’s or if it looks like rain they have a lovely indoor space. Assembly yard is located right in Fremantle, just south of Perth. As a wedding photographer I love the variety of options it gives you. You could have your portraits photographed in Fremantle, on the beach or even Cottesloe civic centre as thats only a short drive away.

Matilda Bay restaurant in Crawley, Perth.

Right by the water, Matilda bay restaurant is one of my personal favourites. Located just minutes from Perth city and UWA it means there is a few different photography spots to choose from for your portrait’s. Each time I’m there the setting is stunning, the venue staff always amazing and the food- always absolutely delicious. You get the best of both worlds with the outdoor wedding vibe but with the security of cover which makes it easy and fuss free.

The Hampton’s farm estate in Toodyay WA

The Hampton's Farm Estate in Toodyay is undeniably charming, and sophisticated, making it the ultimate choice for a countryside wedding not far from Perth, located 20km from the beautiful heritage township of Toodyay, only 90 minutes from the Perth Metro area. Every corner of The Hampton’s farm estate home and garden is styled beautifully, right out of a magazine and it is surrounded by picturesque landscapes setting the stage for an elegant and sophisticated wedding in the country side. It offers the perfect escape to the countryside without sacrificing the convenience of accessibility.

The Old Tower house

Perfect for intimate elopement’s or micro weddings, The Old Tower house is the most beautiful registry office you’ll find. A heritage gem steeped in history, and perfect for couples looking to exchange their vows in a more intimate and romantic setting. For me as a wedding photographer, I love nothing more than a heritage building, there is a lovely park over the road, Hyde park and the state buildings are also just a short drive away giving you a variety of options for your wedding photo’s.

Lake Como Wedding at Villa Lario Resort

VILLA LARIO RESORT DESTINATION WEDDING IN LAKE COMO, ITALY.

Tiffany and Andy’s Italian destination wedding at the Villa Lario resort in Lake Como was an absolute dream to photograph. It was filled with pop’s of colour, beautiful florals, classic Italian treats and so much fun. The theme of their wedding, was of course their fur baby Taco who flew into Lake Como from New York, along with all their favourite people. They spent the week in Lake Como together with all their friends and family and had a week of festive’s including an amazing race day and their Chinese tea ceremony, a perfect way to all spend some quality time together. Tiffany and Andy shared that they wanted their wedding day to represent who they are. The day began with Spritz’ to help us all cool off and during the ceremony they sung some of their favourite songs from church. During cocktail hour while Tiffany and Andy had their photo’s taken on an Italian boat the guests enjoyed live music and delicious Italian meats and cheeses. Their reception was secretly Taco themed, if you look closely you can see him in some of the stationary. An opera singer disguised as a waiter sung at the reception during dinner and ended with fireworks, a Champagne tower, cannoli and dancing. It was the most wonderful wedding day.

Tiffany and Andy got ready at the Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio on Lake Como and then traveled by boat to their wedding venue on the other side of the lake at Villa Lario. The grounds and gardens at Villa Lario Resort over look the Italian mountains and lake with the most spectacular view. You really cant go wrong when you’re in Lake Como, Italy with such a beautiful venue and wonderful team. CCL events, Honeycomb affair and the rest of the incredible team made this luxury destination Italian wedding one I will never forget.

Cottesloe Civic centre pre wedding session

I have been a wedding photographer in Perth for over a decade now and Cottesloe civic centre is still one of my favourite venues in Perth for wedding portraits or engagement photos. Just scroll and you will see why, every inch is beautiful.

I get asked all the time, when is the best time to photograph the portraits on your wedding day or engagement session? The answer is simple, golden hour. I bet you can guess why it got the name, golden hour is the hour before sunset when the light is the softest, skin tones look the best and all the trees are glowing in the lovely soft light. Around an hour before sunset or as close to that as possible. If you cant do this then try set some time aside during your wedding reception to step out for ten minutes at sunset, it will be well worth it.

Claudia and Tim's East Perth Wedding

I’m so excited to share Claudia and Tim’s bright, colourful and vibrant wedding. I had the privilege of photographing and videoing their love filled, super fun Perth wedding day. You see the love through the screen cant you. Their day was full of beautiful little details that made the day so unique to them including embroidery on Claudia’s veil by Zanzi’s bridal and of course her lovely Jimmy Chou shoes.

Claudia and Tim’s wedding video was videoed by myself and my wonderful team, meaning that their photo’s and video all look cohesive and the editing is similar.

Claudia and Tim’s reception at The Camfield was made so beautiful by The Flower Hound and Hire in style. And was full of so much fun including a champagne tower and yummy Cannoli, I mean, is there a better combo than champagne and cannoli? I think not!
