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.
As the admin of several wedding Facebook groups with over 30,000 members combined, I’ve seen countless posts from couples disappointed that their wedding photos didn’t reflect the real joy and authenticity of the day. Too often, the images feel stiff and overly posed, instead of natural and in-the-moment.
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, just let loose, relax, and soak up every raw moment of your wedding.
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!
Tips And Advice
Below are quick, fun snippets I’ve put together to help you plan a day that’s totally you. From unique ideas to insider advice, these videos dive into what really matters.
Creating a wedding that reflects your love story (minus the stress). Enjoy!

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
