Perth city
wedding photographer

A heritage hotel on St Georges Terrace, a bay window on Francis Street, bushland above the skyline and a lawn on the river. A city wedding keeps everything close, so more of the day goes on the people and less on the driving.

We’ve photographed city weddings at COMO The Treasury in the State Buildings, at Old Tower House, in Marlee Pavilion at Kings Park and on the riverside lawn at Burswood on Swan.

What the city gives you is variety inside a few blocks: white heritage balconies and tall doorways at the State Buildings, enormous Moreton Bay figs opposite Old Tower House, native gardens in Kings Park, and the skyline across the water from Burswood.

City light needs a plan. Tall buildings throw shade through the middle of the day, which is kind to faces, and the skyline looks its best late in the afternoon from Kings Park or from across the river. We plan the portraits around both.

Two practical things. Kings Park ceremony venues are booked through the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, and a venue booking includes your photography permit. COMO The Treasury says wedding photos there are only for couples who have booked a venue or are staying as guests.
