Many brides will be planning summer weddings in Melbourne for the coming season. With the wild weather weather of recent times, it might be a beneficial thing to consider alternative wedding photography locations in Melbourne, if the weather on your wedding day doesn’t quite work out as you hope.

Inner city hotels make great venues for wedding photography, though most will require that you have a room booked in-house the day of your photo shoot. If you are not staying at the venue you wish to use, perhaps you can book some relatives in to stay there, and make arrangements to shoot there on short notice, if necessary.

Wedding photography in Melbourne’s inner city restaurants and cafes also requires some advance planning. Approach the venue well before the day, and do another follow up visit 72 hours prior, when the weather forecast would be more likely to be accurate.

It should be possible to shortlist venues to those you feel would match the style, theme and personalities of your wedding party and yourselves! Consider colour, mood and lighting within the venue, and access for the entire bridal party- how close or how far away can your wedding car park? How about your photographer- how needs to park within the legal limits of space and time?

Our wedding photography mantra- “Allow plenty of time for your photography- more than you think you will need- and you won’t be disappointed” should be kept in mind during your time allocation.
