Cybie, Rain, Joyce,
I had mine done in Melbourne city, about 3-4 hours of photoshoot. Cost me AUD1650, including makeup, flowers (which are really beautiful vibrant big red & pink roses, love the flowers!) & limousine transport (which is a very vintage limousine). My aussie photographer arranged everything for me.
I had a wonderful time taking the photos in Melbourne. Weather is fantastic in October. And wherever we go, the Aussies will smile and shout 'Congratulations' cos me & HB were in our wedding gowns and suit. Even when we were in the limosine while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green! Maybe cos we are in foreign land, feels a lot more relaxed.
You can take a look at my photographer's website www.wildberry.com.au
What I like about her style is, she takes really good candid shots, not very 'posed'. If you like, I can show you a link to my photos, but only through PM.

Hi Lyn,
we're interested in doing a photoshoot in perth too. is your hubby's friend, the one who did ur PS, based in perth?
and can i ask where u got your gown from? it's looks really lovely from the pictures you've posted here. did you rent it in perth? i'm looking at what's available in perth over the internet and all I can find are gowns that are retailing and not for hire (rent).
any advise??

Hi rany..i bought my gowns all fr singapore..i think u can ask ur BS here to customise a package for u, esp if u go for the more upmarket ones that liase with specialised photograhers in singapore, rather than have inhouse photographer...or u could just ask them to take out the photos bit of it! Gowns are cheaper generally in singapore acc to my perth friends, n u can get nice ones OTR..have u tried allure charix?
Unfortunately our photographer isn't based in Perth, he's in singapore n did the PS for us as a wedding gift..he doesn;t do wedding shots otherwise!
mostly commercial work...
when r u thinking of doing ur shoot? u can maybe get a photographer fr perth, and see if u can negoatiate a package with them where u get back all ur shots? or fly someone over fr here tt u like? my AD photographer Ron Lee is great n i would really recommend him!! u can see his work on his website www.eye-deas.com , u can ask him to come up with a package for u if u want to do an overseas shot?! tell him that lyn recommended him!
if ur worried about the price of the overseas PS, u can think of it as a holiday as well..u'll be much more relaxed tt way....thats wat we did and we had a fabulous time!
feel free to PM me if u need anymore info k? i'll be glad to help!

Hi Lyn,
Thanks for the info. It really helps.
I do agree, the gowns in Perth tend to be pricier and judging from websites alone, I reckon we have a better selection of gowns in sg. Hee!
My fiance is in Perth so it would feel like any other holiday for me if we do the shoot there but we also are looking at the costs involved.
It does look like the costs will accumulate if we're doing a shoot in Perth (whether or not we fly our own photographer there). And there are the hassles of engaging your own photographer, make up artiste, etc, when in Perth. Sooooo.....
Right now, it's leaning towards a PS in good ol' Singapore.
PS: I've heard about Ron's works. And so far, it's been all praises. We'll check out his AD packages and if we decide on him, we'll surely mention you. Thanks, Lyn!!

it'll be a REALLY special holiday!!!! its fun n its much more relaxing doing photos there rather than at the madcap pace of singapore...
actually i've done a heap of research in the makup n hair dept in perth so i can easily recommend you some ppl if ur keen! its just the photographer u nd to find....
we did spend a bit on our photos but we wanted something very different..no wedding album, but just some nice shots we blew up n plan to frame up for the house....we figured we'll have albums for the AD already, n having another big ol album that'll just collect dust next time is too much hassle
but tt's just us!

Hi lyn,
We are considering overseas PS and was wondering if you can recommend some locations to do PS in Perth? Will it be possible to show us some of the pics which you have taken in Perth ? Thanks in advance.
Btw, you look great! Besides genetics, the make up artist and the weather must be good too ya? Btw, can i find out when you did your PS (i.e. which month)? Was the weather plesant?
Our e-mail is [email protected]

Moomoocow, don't miss the King's Park! The fire of membrance, nice and we saw local bride and groom on that day we went there.
Vineyard photos, there are many beaches but you can go to cottesloe beach.
They got nice building too, if you don't mind is in the busy town.
if not mistaken James Street Mall got musuem
can go fremantle, got old building too.The Old Round House, nice fish and chips too, don't miss.
www.psychopotato.com I've been there and stayed for 10 days I think, can see my gallery la.
I am going Sydney for PS this NOv, so excited!! Our Photographer is Gordon Jovic, his skills is superb. highly recommended by my cousin who is an oz.

Hi BenDi,
Wow, going PS in Sydney! So nice!
I popped into Gordon Jovic website and his works are really quite impressive. Which part of Sydney do you intend to go for your PS ? Within Sydney city and the outskirts like Blue Mountain ?
Btw, how much is he charging you and does he travel out of Sydney to do PS in other parts of Aus ?

Moomoo, think you can email him directly to ask, he will be able to answer all your questions! but if you were to ask him to fly to perth, it will be ex, domestic flight quite ex in oz. and you know what, he normally reply me in 2-4 hours.
he is charging us at a very reasonable price but we will meet up with him for final discussion about the price. AUD3k onwards.
We have a few places in mind like the rocks, st marys cathedral,Balmoral beach,his favourite spots are the Rocks, Strand Arcade, City areas.
Very flexible guy, total coverage may go up to 7 hours and he said he is okay if there is another hour so he is actually charging us lesser than usual, fyi, weekday shoot and weekend shoot hv diff prices.
We are not going all the way to blue mountain but we will be there for slightly more than 2 weeks so we will go on our own. My parents will be with us as well, they will help us to take candid shot.
Go places where you have friends/relatives then you can save on accomodations. I have relatives all over the world(Japan,London,Germany,Aus) but hubby likes sydney so we go there for PS.
Maybe after the wedding, we will go London and Paris for another PS, one good thing about purchasing a bridal gown, can bring anywhere you want.

Hiya!
sorry its taken me so long to respond, I've been out of town
if u'd like to see our photos, check out http://homepage.mac.com/ibook00/Menu4.html
We got a photographer from Singapore, who is a good friend of the husband's...he doesn't do wedding work usually tho...try RON LEE my AD photographer, he's excellent! (i've left his contact on my earlier post)
actually it may cost you about the same to get a photographer fr singapore if u can negotiate a package where u get all your shots back. One thing i heard from friends in Australia is that they charge u per photo developed, which can end up being really expensive...so see how u go with it
Locations wise for photos, King's park, cottesloe beach, University of Western Australia, Matilda Bay/Jetty are all really nice and in the same area (that's where we went!). South Perth is nice as well, as is Riverside drive and the bell tower.
Fremantle is nice too, we didn't do photos there, no time cuz we were busy just being tourists
its more a city scape style...lots of beautiful old buildings..
If you like vineyards, travel about 1 hour out of perth into swan valley, and u can do great shots there! sandalford winery is stunning, and they've got a great setup where u can have a meal outside under the grape vines! I'd call in advance if u want to do shots there tho.
Weather wise, we went in early April, the weather was beautiful! generally autumn and spring is nice...u don't get as hot as u would running around in a big gown, which is great!
hope all this info helps! PM me if u wanna know anymore ok?

oh yes, one more thing, our photographer is VERY particular about light, so we went shooting when the sun is not too harsh..as a result we did our photos mostly in the early evening/early to late morning with natural light...and none of our photos were photoshop-ed cuz it didn't need it!
BenDi,
thanks for the info. Let us see your PS pics when they are ready (must wait until the end of the year though...)
lyn,
thanks for replying. Your photos looks great! Both you and your husband looks relax and natural. And of cos the backdrop of the PS look vastly different from what we can get in Singapore. I especially love the pics taken at Cottesloe, very nice ! Our PS is likely to be in Dec and by then Perth would have gone into Summer? Should be quite warm then, i suppose?

Hi moomoocow!
December isn't the best time i'm afraid! temperature can go up to the 40 degrees mark and its BLISTERING hot! I suffered when i was studying there in summer, so i wonder about how u'd cope in a big wedding gown
how about going in the autumn like october or early nov?

lyn, so sad that my leave has postpone to 22nov-3dec, so scared the weather is going to ruin up everything.
BenDi
u never know, it may not b as bad as u think
we had odd weather as there was actually a typhoon north of perth during the days we were shooting! so it just meant that some days were cold, some days were perfect, and some days the sun was SUPER glaring! but our photos turned out amazing anyway, so i ain't complaining!
my advice would b to check out weather sites to see what it'll b like, that way u can even incorporate some of the quirks of the weather into your shots! i'm picturing babes in little minis and tiny tops as the backdrop to your beautiful glamorous wedding gown! or the 2 of u having a long cool drink at a little cafe...the only challenge is that u gotta have lots of deodarant on so ur not sweating buckets!
then again, nov isn't THAT bad, mid dec is hotter!

that's expensive, I am hiring an aussie to take photos for us, he is one of the famous in Sydney but charging us at reasonable price for a prof. photographer, about $400/hours, without album but will have 100 4r prints(touched up) and all photos will mail to us in soft copy.
staritzz
wow that is pretty steep! I think u may be better off getting an aussie to do it for you. They don't give u albums neccesarily, but will give u most if not all of the photos back. U can negotiate a package with them usually..If u want u can ask them about doing a simple coffeetable book for u and check out their charges. Their photography styles in Aus are quite different from singapore, so why not try their work?

Hi All,
I had my photoshoot done in Perth and i flew the photographer there. Make up and hair, DIY. My total package excluding the photographer's airticket only costs less than $2k. He was very flexible with the number of days of shooting. In the end, we shoot for total of 7 to 8 days. But each day usually is half a day. Morning till afternoon. I was very satisfied with the photos and my bridal shop is now using the pics to promote the photographer.
