About

Overview & Vibe

Born on the shores of Lake Como and now on the Mornington Peninsula, she founded Perla Photography more than a decade ago and works with a team. Between them they have photographed over seven hundred weddings across Victoria and abroad, and they publish something few photographers will commit to: in more than ten years they have never missed a wedding.

Style & Approach

Light-filled and timeless, and openly not the alternative — they say plainly that couples will not want to flip through dark, moody images in ten years. Romantic storytelling with a natural, editorial finish, candid moments alongside a few gently guided portraits.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at a peninsula winery, a Yarra Valley vineyard or a Melbourne warehouse who want the same team across all three. Over five hundred five-star reviews sit behind that, and every image is edited in-house rather than sent out.

The Need-to-Knows

Collections run six to ten hours, and can be extended.
Prices are not published — you request the collections and hear back within 24 hours.
Images arrive within six weeks, high resolution, print-ready and free of watermarks.
A 20% deposit secures the date, with the balance due a month before.
Fully insured for public liability and equipment.

Standout Feature

They act as a second layer of planning support — timelines, logistics, even family coordination — and every couple gets a detailed guide of accumulated advice. For a first-time couple that is often worth as much as the photographs.

Albums & Prints

Wedding Album. Price: On enquiry. Description: A printed album designed in-house, which they describe as the difference between images you hold and files that sit forgotten on a device.

Appointment Policy

Request the collections and share your wedding date and venue.
Expect a reply within 24 hours with a collection tailored to your day.
Meet by video call, or in person over a coffee if you would rather.
Sign and return the terms, then pay a 20% deposit to secure the date.
Ask for the planning guide - every couple receives one.
