Your wedding is the most important day of your life and just as important is making sure you get the right location for that perfect backdrop. Viva Photography recognises that each newly married couple has their own individuality and style so it’s a good idea to reflect your style within the photography and the location will make a big impact. Viva Photography suggests a select few options below. Some of these locations require a hire fee and some conditions apply.

 

Located in Nedlands WA, the University of Western Australia is a stylish and sophisticated location for your wedding photos. Established in 1911 with stunning marble pillars, beautifully landscaped gardens and a magnificent lake, this location is an historical masterpiece. In the autumn months, beautiful pink and yellow flowers adorn the buildings. When the sun is shining, you will also be able to have a stunning mirrored effect from the lake. Sunset is also a beautiful time for a lovely newlywed stroll along the lake whilst your bridal party relaxes on the park benches.

 

The quintessential Perth icon, Kings Park boasts a stunning backdrop of the Swan River and the Perth City. Classic, breathtaking and natural surroundings blend beautifully with the modern urban cityscape. Perfect for sunsets and beautiful evening shots capturing the bright lights of the city.

 

The Swan River – a magnificent, tranquil setting with the gorgeous Perth city at your feet. A Perth favourite. During the day, the South Perth foreshore is a stunning blend of the bright blue sky and complimenty lush green grass. At night – the dark sky becomes illuminated by the colours of the bright city lights. The most stunning view however is at sunset where the warm sun creates an illusion of golden mirrors on the city skyline.

 

A hidden treasure in Perth’s Swan Valley established in 1835. If you’re wedding ceremony or reception is to be located at this stunning venue, you’ll have the opportunity of being photographed in one of the most beautiful settings in Perth. Lush, traditional bushland intertwined with an 1800’s renaissance style garden. Three terraces are linked by four limestone staircases and a grand staircase leading to a manicured lawn area. The terraces are adorned by three sandstone female statues each representing a season.

 

Originally planted in 1900, the Harold Boas Gardens are charming and secluded tiered gardens hidden away on the outskirts of the Perth city. Several ponds, a beautiful collection of hanging trees, bridges and a gorgeous waterfall provide the opportunity for a selection of romantic photographs.

Just a short drive from the Perth city, Hyde Park gardens are a beautiful and romantic location for traditional wedding photographs. A delightful expanse of lawn and shady trees with the perfect blend of the bright sky peeking through the branches.

Sophisticated, classical and magical. A true Western Australian icon built in 1904. With Edwardian era architecture, the outside of the building provides a stunning backdrop fit for a king and queen. The inside of the building has many options for truly romantic images with red carpets, magnificent marble staircases and a contrast of black and white checked tiling in the foyer. Of course the main attraction – inside the theatre auditorium and stage is in a class of its own.
