Supreme Court Gardens Wedding Photos
Big old trees, palms and lawns between the Supreme Court and the Swan River
The Supreme Court Gardens sit at the corner of Barrack Street and Riverside Drive in the Perth CBD, beside the Supreme Court of 1903 and the Old Court House, the oldest building in Perth. They were landscaped in 1920 on land reclaimed from the river and run into Stirling Gardens next door, with mature trees, palms and open lawns a short walk from Elizabeth Quay.
Veri’s team has photographed one Supreme Court Gardens wedding here. Claire and George came in the late afternoon with their bridal party: a dip kiss on the garden path, a twirl under the trees, a bench break with the bridesmaids and a champagne stroll through the palms, before they all walked over to their reception at Perth Town Hall.
How to prepare for your wedding photos (without overthinking it)
Seven small things that make a real difference on the day — learned across hundreds of weddings. None of them involve practising poses.
In motion, unposed · FR 15A1. Be yourselves — that's where the magic is
You don't need to perform or worry about what you look like. The best photos come from real moments: a glance, a laugh, a shared breath. Let go a little — we'll guide when needed, and the best unfolds naturally.
2. Build buffer time into your timeline
A little breathing room between getting ready, the ceremony and couple portraits makes all the difference. It gives us space for spontaneous shots — and gives you time to soak it all in.
3. Choose locations that feel like you
A quiet lane, an open field, a textured wall — we love meaningful or interesting spots. Trust us to find great light, but if you've got a place you love, let's work it in.
4. Consider an unplugged ceremony
Phones can distract from the emotion (and your photos). Asking guests to be fully present makes for cleaner frames and a more heartfelt atmosphere.
5. Get ready in calm, light-filled spaces
Clutter-free rooms with natural light are a photographer's dream, and calm energy in the morning sets the tone for the day. Keep the space tidy — or assign a friend to do a quick sweep before we arrive.
6. Keep a drink and snacks nearby
Especially during portraits — hydration and a little sugar go a long way in keeping energy and moods high.
7. Trust the process
We've worked at hundreds of weddings and we're here to make you look and feel amazing. Trust us with the light, the angles, the pace — we've got you.
Photographing a wedding in the Supreme Court Gardens
The canopy throws open shade across the paths even in strong sun, which keeps skin tones soft and eyes open. The paths give long, clean lines for walking shots, the palms and the columns of the Supreme Court make lovely backdrops, and the old iron gates are a great way in or out. Perth Town Hall, Elizabeth Quay and the river are all within a short walk.
