1. How much time do I need?
Make sure you get what you want take you time, choose a day to do you your research, to have in mind how many hours really need for the day, keep in mind Perth area is big, if your ceremony is in the south of the river and your reception north of the river make sure to count for that time.
A lot of time on your wedding day can be spent moving from location to location, Perth offers many great locations for photo and video but not always it will be close to the location of your ceremony or reception, time can be save by choosing a location for the beauty shoot close to where your wedding is happening if possible, the traffic in perth can be very unpredictable so time and date has to be studied and counted for, weddings happening on Fridays are more likely to encounter traffic in rush hours what may decrease the time for phot and video
