OVERVIEW
Perla Photography is a premium wedding photography business based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley.
Perla Photography has captured over 1000 weddings worldwide, and our work has been featured in numerous magazines and blogs such as Vogue UK. We’re dedicated to delivering joy to every couple, ensuring you’ll relive your wedding day through the moments we capture—the laughter, the tears, and everything in between.
Our Collections provide 6 to 10 hours of coverage, typically encompassing the bride and groom getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, a bridal/couple photo session, and part of the reception (such as cake cutting, the first dance, and speeches). However, we offer the flexibility to extend coverage if needed. Your entire day is reserved for you, allowing you to add as much time as necessary. We also assist our couples in crafting a timeline to ensure all the key moments are captured.
We love capturing the natural moments that unfold throughout your day. We truly believe that the raw emotions and imperfect moments are what make your wedding unforgettable. These are the moments that will make you laugh and cry as you flip through your album years from now. At the same time, we want to provide you with those stunning images that showcase perfect lighting and elegant poses—the ones you'll want to print and proudly display on your walls, where you look like movie stars 😉. To achieve this, we offer more guidance during the couple and bridal photo sessions.
About
We promise we will smile (and cry) at your wedding (more smiling than crying, promise, but then again, speeches time always gets us!) We promise to fix the groom's boutonniere if needed (because after 400+ weddings we think we can consider ourselves partly florists).Does your gown need fluffling or your veil need shushing?!? Do not worry, Perla Photography is always to the rescue! ..but most of all we promise will be your cheerleaders with a camera.. and take pretty pictures too!

FAQ
Perla Photography’s studio is located in Main Street, Mornington. All our meetings take place in our studio but we travel anywhere for wedding photography. Most of our weddings are based on the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Dandenongs, Daylesford and all around VIC. We are also available for interstate/overseas weddings.
All our Collections include 7 hours of coverage. This time usually includes both the bride and the groom getting ready, ceremony, family formals, bridal/couple photo-shoot and part of the reception (cutting of the cake/first dance/speeches). However, we offer our couples the possibility of adding more hours to the chosen Collection if they wish. We also help our couples design their timeline to ensure that all the most important moments are covered.

Hi there a photographer is an expensive part of our wedding day, and I have heard of some horror stories of couples having watermarks on their photos and having to pay extra to use their photos so after the day (i.e. to print and put on the wall or share to personal socials?

Hi, it means the photographer will put their logo or branding on each image. Personally I deliver images without watermark or any type of brnding so the couple can use them as they please. Hope this helps!
