PERTH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

TIMELESS Wedding Photography
for couples
who seek REAL
moments captured.

Don't Settle for Average Wedding Photography

On a day with no do-overs and so much emotion, your wedding photographs should feel as real and full of love as the moments they capture.

Too often, couples feel their wedding photos are stiff and overly posed, instead of natural and in the moment. As a Perth wedding photographer, I’ve seen how disappointing it can be when photos fail to reflect the joy and authenticity of the day.

After all the planning and effort, it’s disheartening when your wedding photos fail to capture the awesomeness of your wedding day.

This is your wedding. Fake smiles? Forced poses? Nah. Let loose, be real, and soak up every raw, unfiltered moment.

Your Wedding Photographer

Hi there! I’m Gonzalo, and I run Gonzalo Novoa Photography, a wedding photography studio based in Perth.

I started this journey in 2018, fueled by a love for storytelling and the incredible energy of weddings. Since then, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, each one a unique mix of love, laughter, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Feel free to call me “Gonz”.

During your wedding, I’ll help you relax and soak it all in, so your photos reflect what truly matters—your connection, your joy, and the little moments in between.

After the wedding, I’ll help turn those fleeting moments into something tangible—heirlooms like albums and wall art that bring those memories back to life. If that’s something you’re into, I know I am!

LEARN MORE ABOUT MY STORY

If I look bald in the photo,
please make your window narrower.
I promise I have hair 🤣

Let me be Super-Real for a Moment

This section is intended to make you stay, just as much as it is to make you leave.  

If you’re looking for someone to:

Work as just another vendor instead of someone who is genuinely invested in you both.
Leave you wondering later if the most important moments and people were even captured.
Shoot your wedding the exact same way they shoot every other couple.
Hand over the photos and call it a day—no help in creating albums, prints, or keepsakes to cherish your memories forever.

THEN...

WE MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST MATCH FOR EACH OTHER.

All good though, no hard feelings.

There are plenty of photographers who are happy to do exactly that.
Just know that I'm not one of them.

The experience I provide to my couples DEMANDS connection and understanding, fluid communication and somewhat cheesy questionnaires!

I’m here to work with couples who want authentic, storytelling imagery and want my guided approach, to bring their vision to life.

As a Perth wedding photographer, my approach isn’t about just showing up and snapping photos—it’s about building a connection, understanding your story, and capturing it authentically.

If that sounds like something you'd want, take a look below.

Answering Your Questions

The baby will dive straight into the cake 🎂 right?

It's easy to think that your baby will immediately dive into the cake 🎂 and make a mess of it. However sometimes it takes a bit more time ⏳ But that's ok. Not every child 🧒wants to dive and mess things up right off the bat 🏏 So what do we do? Don't worry, we'll use all the tricks to get things moving. Sometimes that means getting the parents to interact with their child, or "helping" them get started with a taste of the cake. Ultimately. We will get beautiful images no matter what.
What if my baby is crying 😭?

Yeah... crying is one of their signature moves isn't it 😁 I'm a father of four, I've been there! Don't worry. From parent to parent; the crying is the least of our concerns. But we can do some things to help this possible situation. Bring your bub's favourite toy 🧸and/or snack. You can also try feeding your bub a light meal 🍽 before the session, and if possible, a nap 😴 can definitely help with your baby's mood.
How many outfit 👕👗changes do I need?

Things can get really messy sometimes, and it's not uncommon for your little one to be fully covered in cake 🎂and just run towards you... the result? Lot's of laughs 😂! We will need at least one extra outfit 👕👗 change for anyone coming to the session. Yes, you may need extra clothes for yourself, your child and anyone else attending 😅
Do I need anything special for the cake 🎂 and/or frosting 🧁?

Most frosting colours are fine with the exception of red 🔴Unless you're going for a halloween/horror movie style... Brown 🟤 frosting is also up for debate, I will not go into details there 💩🤣 Some colours that I would suggest are Pink 💖, Purple 🟣, Blue 💙, Green 💚, White ⚪️, Yellow 🟡and Orange 🧡they all look fantastic!
Do I need to bring any props 🚩?

Not really... I will supply balloons 🎈, pom poms, bunting and other props to match the colour theme you choose. You're most welcome to bring your own props. Some ideas: A custom banner, or a chalkboard/whiteboard, a matching bowtie ⧓ or hair ribbon 🎀, etc. Let's discuss it first just to make sure there' no extra considerations to make
