“Laura from Perla photography has been the best photographer my husband Errol and I could have ever hoped for!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I most certainly would have. We decided to go with her after meeting many photographers before her and not feeling they were the right fit and feel for the day. Laura went above an beyond in not only how many amazing photos she took on the day (we got 1000 photos in total gassssp) but the process after which is also so important 🙌🏻 We decided to make our own album and she made a completely new one for us with the images we requested ... hahah bit annoying but she didn’t complain once but instead was more than happy to create this so we were 100% happy with the result 🤩 I was blown away from start to finish! From when we met for the first time to the day 1.5 years later! I felt like she was so warm and personable and instantly we felt comfortable and at ease. If your looking for a photographer honestly look no further and book in an appointment. I can promise you it will be one of the best decisions you make as photos you get to cherish for a lifetime and this photographer is a bomb shell Will be using her with all our milestones in the future that’s for sure. Thankyou so much Laura & Perla photography team for making this such an amazing experience from start to finish. Wouldn’t have been the same without you 😘♥️”

“Our wedding day amazing with our ceremony at the Melbourne Royal Botanical Gardens, followed by a reception at The Panama Dining Room in Collingwood and Laura from Perla Photography did an incredible job of capturing all our special moments. From the moment we met Laura, her warm and friendly demeanour put us at ease. She was responsive, organised and adapted quickly to some last minute schedule changes. We chose Perla because of her unique style that brings out the rich vibrant colours and were not disappointed. She was able to capture both beautiful landscape shots that we can hardly believe were taken in the gardens and meaningful candid moments. We received a sneak preview of our photos quickly after the wedding which was great to show family and friends and the full album shortly after. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura from Perla Photography to any couple seeking a wedding photographer, we genuinely couldn't have imagined a better experience.”

“Laura was incredible photographing our wedding recently. Her skills and the images she has sent us so far completely exceeded our expectations! She is truly an extraordinarily talented woman, a beautiful soul and made me feel like an absolute supermodel, all day long ! As someone who doesn’t usually like being the subject of a photo, Laura’s encouraging comments made me feel SO comfortable and beautiful, begging to jump in front of the lens ! We couldn’t be more obsessed with the photo memories we now have to look back through and re-live our special day, over and over again. I couldn’t recommend a better photographer than Perla Photography. Thank you so much, Laura”

Brylie Oliver

“We recently got married at Dromana Estate and had the absolute pleasure of having Perla as our photographer. Laura was highly recommended to us and when we saw her portfolio we soon realised that she was the only photographer we wanted. Her photography style is natural and light, she knew our venue like the back of her hand so had all the best spots picked out for our photos. Laura was professional right from our first conversation, we are so pleased with our choice in photographer. If your in the planning stage of your wedding you definitely need to check Laura out you won’t be disappointed. Laura we can’t thank you enough. You have given us the best images that we can enjoy with all of your friends and family for years and years to come.”
