About

Overview & Vibe

Compose Photography is a boutique Perth studio run by Kirsten Graham and Rebecca Johansson, two accredited Master Photographers with more than twenty years each behind the camera. They work from a St Georges Terrace studio in the city centre and photograph weddings throughout Western Australia, interstate and overseas, with a long-standing presence in the Swan Valley.

Style & Approach

The pair photograph with a mixture of documentary and directed frames, staying unobtrusive through the flow of the day and then offering guidance for bridal portraits and family groups. Lighting is chosen to suit the locations a couple picks, from soft backlight through trees outdoors to a styled, fashion-led look indoors. Even the frames that read as candid may carry a little quiet direction, so the smiles stay real.

Ideal For

Couples who want an experienced, awarded team and a printed album at the end of it. Compose photographs everything from intimate registry ceremonies to large multi-day celebrations of several hundred guests, and they are practised at moving a long family-photo list along without it stalling the party. Swan Valley couples will find a studio that has photographed at most venues in the valley.

The Need-to-Knows

Intimate weddings start at $1,900, digital collections at $3,200, and collections with a bespoke album at $4,800. A $1,000 reservation fee secures the date, with the balance due closer to the wedding. Finished images arrive about six weeks after the day and albums take a further six to ten weeks once the design is approved. Weddings outside the Perth metropolitan area are quoted individually for travel.

Standout Feature

Album design is what this studio is best known for, and it has won multiple awards for it. The book is designed together with the couple, then made by Australian printers on fine-art paper stock.

Albums & Prints

  • Bespoke Wedding Album — included in the Digital and Album collection from $4,800. Custom designed with the couple after the wedding, printed by Australian makers on fine-art paper stock; the studio has won multiple awards for its album design.
