Perla Photography - Wedding Photography Mount Martha

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!

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.

How would you describe your wedding photography style?

Our photography style is dreamy, romantic but most of all real, just like our couples! ?? Our aim is to capture your day as it really is, a natural reflection of who you are as a couple and the Love that is between you combined with lots of scenery shots and the nature that surrounds you.

How is your photography approach during our wedding day?

However, we also want to give you those amazing images, the ones with the perfect light, with the perfect posing.. the ones you will print and hang on your walls where you are looking like movie stars ?? .. For this reason, we offer more guidance during the couple/bridal photo-shoot.

I cannot recommend Perla enough. Laura was such a pleasure to organise with and the final result was amazing. Sam and Jess were our photographers on the day and they were so good, made sure our laid-back vision came to life, and had plenty of fun with us along the way. These photos are seriously amazing and will help us remember the day for the rest of our lives.

Laura and Sammy made sure our wedding day was relaxed and we felt we could be natural and candid with them. There was no pressure to have thousands of photos taken, to rush us or make poses that weren’t us. We are so happy with the sneak peek photos and can’t wait to get the full album.

We are incredibly grateful to have had Cass from Perla as our photographer at our wedding. From the moment we met, Cass was professional, friendly, and her photography style resonated with us. Cass was not only easy to work with but also incredibly accommodating. Just two days before our wedding, we decided to add an additional photo session, and Cass seamlessly incorporated this into our schedule, offering suggestions and ideas to ensure we captured the moment perfectly without compromising on time. On the day of the wedding, Cass and Shaun, who joined us as a second photographer, worked together flawlessly. They both blended into the background, capturing every special moment with ease and without being obtrusive. Their chill demeanor helped us relax and be ourselves, resulting in photos that truly captured our essence. The sneak peek photos exceeded our expectations, perfectly capturing the emotions and atmosphere of the day. Cass and Shaun's creativity and attention to detail were evident in every shot, and we were thrilled with the results we have seen so far. Thank you, Cass and Shaun, for not only capturing our day so beautifully but also for directing us to get the best shots and accomodating our ad-hoc requests. We are grateful for the memories you have created for us, and we will treasure these photos for a lifetime!

Laura was an absolute dream to work with, I’m so glad that we found her. From the moment we met Laura she made us feel comfortable, she puts in so much time effort and you could tell she loves her job, no question was to big or small she always got back to us with a quick response. On the day she made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we had a lot of laughs, it was a lot of fun! We recieved all our photos and album sooner than expected and still can't believe how amazing they are!! I am obsessed with them! Thank-you Laura I would choose you a million times over if I had to, you are truly amazing! 💜

WOW, AMAZING! Laura is such an incredible photographer and a beautiful person. After speaking with Laura on the phone (she was so friendly and bubbly) and seeing her amazing photos online, I knew she was the right photographer for but she was even better than that!! The photos of our wedding day are absolutely perfect. We had Laura and a second photographer, Stephanie, capture our day. They were both so warm and friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. I love that Laura took charge, told us how to pose, chose the right locations and really created the perfect images. Laura is organised, professional, bubbly, fun and just so talented. Laura’s communication at all stages of the process was great, could not fault anything! We received over 1000 edited images within weeks of our wedding along with a draft of our album plus sneak peak images the day after our wedding!! Could not recommend perla photography highly enough, I will treasure our beautiful photos forever!

What does having a watermark and copyright on photos mean for my wedding photos?

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? Is that normal or expected i am a bit scared of all photographers and the legal stuff! Thanks Bree

Perla Photography

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!
