Weddings in the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens have the privilege of being in one of the city's finest, most photogenic gardens. If you would like to have your wedding photos in the Royal Botanic Gardens but not get married there, you will need to contact management and apply for a permit to do this.
Equally important are some enforceable laws relating to wedding photographers in Melbourne utilizing the gates and entrances to the Royal Botanic Gardens as a backdrop.
Wedding Photographers Melbourne has received a copy of a letter distributed to members of the Wedding Car Association. The letter outlines a "no tolerance" policy to wedding photography in driveways around the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kings Domain, Queen Victoria Gardens or Alexandra Gardens.
Melbourne Wedding Photographers and Wedding Hire Car operators are strongly urged to look for legitimate parking bays in the vicinity of these gardens. Park Rangers, Council By Laws Officers will now book offenders without warning. Police will book offenders too - with the additional loss of demerit points.
The primary cause of these situation developing, is the rush for "the shot" in what is almost always "not enough time" on the wedding day. The most common problem is the wedding day plan, wedding ceremony timetable or running sheet being unachievable.
Wedding Photographers Melbourne cannot over emphasize the need to plan for more time to be made available for photography - otherwise be prepared for a "no we can't do that" from wedding hire car drivers.
If you are a bride-to-be planning a wedding or wedding photography in Melbourne, then please keep in mind that the popular areas can quickly become congested, and wedding hire car drivers and operators need extra time to park legally - which means more time allocated between the wedding ceremony and reception.
