Getting married in Melbourne? Whether you’re planning a big city celebration or a romantic outdoor ceremony, finding the right wedding photography in Melbourne is key to preserving your memories forever.
In this guide, we’ll cover how to choose the right photographer, what to expect on the day, and the most popular photo locations across Melbourne and Victoria.
1. Choosing the Right Melbourne Wedding Photographer
Not all wedding photographers offer the same style. At Nova Photography, we specialize in candid, documentary-style photography — capturing genuine emotions, not just posed moments.
Before booking, ask yourself:
- Do you want natural or posed images?
- How much coverage do you need (half-day or full-day)?
- Do you want both photography and videography?
- Are sneak peeks and turnaround time important?
We’ve covered over 200 Melbourne weddings, so we’re happy to guide you based on your schedule and location.
2. The Best Locations for Wedding Photos in Melbourne
Melbourne has it all — urban charm, heritage architecture, and natural beauty. Here are a few of our favourites:
📍 Carlton Gardens
Lush, elegant, and close to the CBD. A perfect first-look or family photo spot.
📍 Parliament House Steps
Iconic and dramatic, great for formal portraits and wedding party shots.
📍 Fitzroy Gardens
Shady trees and floral backdrops — ideal for romantic couple portraits.
📍 Brighton Beach Boxes or St Kilda Pier
For something playful or coastal, these are perfect around golden hour.

3. How to Prepare for Your Wedding Photos
Great wedding photography doesn’t just happen — it takes planning. Here are some quick tips:
- 💡 Create a run sheet with your photographer
- 📸 Include a list of must-have shots (e.g., family combos)
- 🌅 Schedule couple photos during golden hour for best light
- 👠 Pack comfortable shoes if walking between locations
At Nova Photography, we help couples build a stress-free photo plan tailored to their timeline.
4. Understanding Wedding Photography Packages
Most couples in Melbourne choose between 6, 8, or 10 hours of coverage depending on whether they want preparation, reception, and night portraits. We also offer combo photo and video packages for convenience and consistency.
Packages usually include:
- High-resolution edited images
- USB or online gallery delivery
- No watermarks
- Optional albums or prints
5. When to Book Your Wedding Photographer
Melbourne’s wedding season is busiest from October to April. If you’re getting married in spring or summer, book your photographer at least 9–12 months in advance. We secure dates with a deposit and start planning with you right away.
