This will help you with getting comfortable in front of the camera. Don't worry, it's not all serious poses, you've got to have some fun too.

Now that it's 2022, I've shot many weddings at Wanneroo Botanic Gardens and thought I should share some photos of it.
Wanneroo Botanic Gardens is a great little venue. Many different locations in a small space.
You do have to watch out for the odd mini golfer and mosquitos. But when I'm shooting there and there are people in the background, I try my best to hide them while shooting or I remove them with photoshop.
The deck has a lot of space to do a big group photo,
I also like using it for the small group photos too.
There are many great areas around the grounds that you can use to take photos.
Their tent is also a great place if you'd like to have your reception there.
If you are still keen to take more photos, the venue also looks great at nighttime.
I always look forward to shooting weddings at Wanneroo Botanic Gardens and I look forward to shooting there in the future.
