Swan Valley & Perth Hills Wedding Photographer
Relaxed Wedding Photography for Swan Valley & Perth Hills Celebrations
The Swan Valley and Perth Hills offer some of the most beautiful, natural wedding settings in Western Australia — vineyards, bushland, historic estates and intimate venues surrounded by greenery. I photograph weddings in this region with a calm, unobtrusive approach, allowing your day to unfold naturally while capturing the moments that matter most.
I specialise in smaller weddings, elopements and thoughtfully paced celebrations, offering flexible 1.5, 3, 4 and 5 hour coverage. For couples who value being present in the moment, rather than feeling on show, this approach creates space to truly enjoy the day — without feeling rushed or over-photographed.
An Experienced, Calm Approach - With Gentle Guidance When Needed
With over a decade of experience photographing weddings across the Swan Valley and Perth Hills, I bring a steady, reassuring presence to every celebration. Most couples tell me they feel a little unsure about being photographed — and that’s completely normal. My role is to guide you when it’s helpful, step back when it’s not, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process.
This balance allows genuine moments to happen naturally — quiet glances, shared laughter, and the in-between moments that often mean the most. The result is a gallery that feels honest, relaxed and true to who you are.
True-to-Life Colour and Timeless Storytelling
My photography style is grounded in natural colour, thoughtful composition and timeless storytelling. I don’t chase trends or heavy filters — instead, I focus on creating images that will still feel beautiful and relevant years from now.
The soft light, earthy tones and natural surroundings of the Swan Valley and Perth Hills suit this approach perfectly. Whether we’re photographing portraits among the vines or quiet moments beneath towering trees, my goal is to reflect the atmosphere of your day just as it felt.
Flexible Coverage for Intimate Weddings & Elopements
Not every wedding needs full-day coverage. Many couples choosing the Swan Valley or Perth Hills prefer a more relaxed timeline — focusing on the ceremony, portraits, and meaningful time with family and friends.
My shorter coverage options are carefully curated to capture the heart of your celebration without unnecessary hours. Whether you’re planning a quiet elopement, a small vineyard wedding or a laid-back Perth Hills gathering, you’ll receive a considered, complete story of your day — beautifully photographed with care and intention.

Swan Valley & Perth Hills Wedding Photography FAQs
What makes the Swan Valley and Perth Hills ideal for weddings?
These regions offer a peaceful escape from the city, with many vineyards and winery venues, rolling hills, forest/bush settings and stunning natural light — perfect for relaxed and intimate celebrations.
When is the best light for photos in the Swan Valley and Perth Hills?
Golden hour just before sunset creates warm, flattering light across vineyards and bushland, making it a favourite time for portraits. In parts of the Perth Hills, surrounding terrain can mean the sun dips behind the hills earlier at some venues, so it’s helpful to consider this when planning your timeline.
Are outdoor ceremonies weather dependent?
Outdoor ceremonies are beautiful in these regions. Many venues also provide sheltered options, allowing flexibility while still enjoying the natural surroundings.
