Tell us about Alice André Photography!

I’m a destination wedding photographer based in Perth, Western Australia.

My work is inspired by beauty and fuelled by connections - both elements are the essence of what I do and encompass my main core values.

What would you like couples to know about you?

Emotions are tied to photos, so when you look at yours, I want you to be transported back to the very moment this picture was taken and relive it all over again.  This is why the experience is just as important as the end result - your photographs. No matter how beautiful your wedding photos are, if you didn’t enjoy yourself throughout the day or things felt forced, this is what you will remember whenever you look at your wedding gallery.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely! Although I now call Australia home, I was born and raised in the south of France, so I particularly love to travel back there during the summer and document weddings around Europe.

That being said, I will travel anywhere to document love - whether it be on the other side of the country or the world.

How would you describe your style?

A documentary approach with an editorial finish - my work is heartfelt, elegant, and timeless. In my galleries, I weave in together a mix of classic portraiture and off-the-cuff moments, artful vignettes and snippets of human connection, with a clean and natural edit that will outlive trends and stand the test of time.

Connection is at the core of my personality, my approach to photography, and the way I view the world, so building a connection with you and getting to know you is extremely valuable to me. My understanding of your journey together fuels everything we create and fosters a space for me to capture your most loving and intimate moments on the day.

What inspires you?

I am inspired by human connections, Sofia Coppola’s movies, how the light dances through the trees and touches the face of the people I love, French chateaux, spring and flowers in full bloom, handwritten love notes, music, Baroque and Renaissance paintings, discovering old and new places, looking for beauty even in the dark corners.

How would you describe your working style?

I have a very gentle, intuitive, and non-obstrusive approach to photographing weddings and prioritise my couple’s experience above all else. I will never force my couples into poses that feel unnatural to them or insist that we have a minimum of two hours for couple portraits - your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. I don’t believe in manufacturing moments; instead, I go with the flow, capturing split seconds as they unfold in front of my lens throughout the day. 

That being said, I will step in during your portrait session, gently guiding you through prompts and basic poses, and creating a space for you to let your love and personalities shine through. I love to play music and start with a bit of chat so that it just feels like we’re all hanging out. I also do a lot of preparation prior to the wedding day: I help my couples design their timeline, scout for photo locations when possible, and send them a pre-wedding questionnaire so I can find out everything I need before their special day.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

Both - although the bulk of the images I deliver are shot on digital, film photography has been an ever-growing part of my work. I currently offer 35mm film as an add-on to any of my packages and will be introducing 120 film this season, too, which I am very excited about!

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

I have three set packages created based on my experience of most couples’ needs, but my smallest package can essentially be treated as an ‘A La Carte’ base package. This package includes a minimum of seven hours of coverage and can be built on with any of the optional extras I offer, such as additional hours of coverage, film photography, additional shooters, pre-wedding event coverage, Fine Art albums, engagement sessions, and more.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

I love being back home in Europe. I have shot weddings in Paris, Provence, Tuscany, and Puglia, and would head back to any of those destinations in a heartbeat. 

I will be heading back there in May and June 2026 for a wedding in Lake Como, so please reach out if you are planning a wedding in Europe around those dates! 

A dream of mine would be to photograph a wedding in Copenhagen, Denmark. I lived there for a year during a university exchange, and it is one of the coolest places on Earth. Very high on the list is also New York City or Upstate New York.

Who is your dream client?

My dream client is simply someone who appreciates art and values photography. They understand the importance of investing in those everlasting memories and trust me with their special moments. 

I am so lucky to work with so many of my dream clients already. They are kind, easy going, they trust their vendors, and although they appreciate beautiful things and have a great sense of style and aesthetic, they never lose track of what truly matters: that their wedding day is about what it feels like, not what it looks like. They are at home with each other, cheer each other on, and feel safe in each other’s presence.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Pick your vendors wisely (and if budget allows, hire a wedding planner, as they’re worth their weight in gold). The people you choose to bring your special day together are here to help you, so don’t be afraid to lean on us, communicate with us, and most importantly, trust us. The best thing you can do on the day is to let go - all you need to worry about is being in the moment. The day goes so fast, so remember to pause and enjoy every second. Hug your guests, eat the cake, drink the champagne, dance the night away!

And finally, as much as you can, make sure you spend time together on the day. Whether that’s getting ready together, exchanging a first look before your ceremony, or disappearing for 10 minutes in the middle of your reception to take it all in. Don’t forget what this day is all about: celebrating you and your relationship.
