5 Perth Wedding Photographers I Love (and Think You Will Too)

Your wedding photos are one of the few parts of your day that last long after the celebrations are over. Long after the flowers, the music and even the cake are gone, your photos become the way you relive every moment. The joy, the emotion, the little in between glances that tell your story.

As a cake designer, I get to see the work of many incredible Perth wedding vendors. Over time I have found a handful of photographers whose work consistently moves me. Each one has a distinct style, so no matter your wedding vibe there is someone here who will feel just right. Here are five Perth wedding photographers I genuinely recommend.

How to Choose the Right Photographer for Your Day

A photographer is more than a vendor. They are the person who will be with you through nearly every moment of the day. Here are a few things to consider.

Look through full galleries. Instagram shows highlights. Full galleries reveal how a photographer handles every moment, every lighting situation and every part of the story.
Think about personality fit. Some couples prefer a photographer who gives direction. Others want someone who blends quietly into the background. There is no right answer. Only what feels right for you.
Consider your venue and style. Different environments suit different photographic styles. Beach, winery, city and heritage venues all create very different conditions.
Book early. Popular Perth photographers often book out 12 to 18 months ahead, especially in spring and early summer.

Building a Beautiful Wedding Team

A wedding becomes magical when it is created by a team of people who care about your vision. Your photographer, your florist, your celebrant, your stylist and your cake designer all play a part in how the day feels.

If you ever need help pairing the style of your cake with your photographer or you would like a little guidance while planning, I am always happy to help.
