About Liam Hotinski

I am a professional photographer based in Perth, Western Australia. While I primarily serve the local Perth metro and surrounding regional areas, I am absolutely available for travel. Whether you are planning a vineyard wedding in Margaret River, an adventure session in the South West, or a destination celebration further away, I can create a custom travel collection to accommodate your needs.

My approach blends the timeless elegance of editorial portraiture with the raw, candid authenticity of documentary photography. I don't rely on heavy, artificial filters or fleeting trends; instead, I focus on natural light, true-to-life colours, and genuine emotional depth. This ensures your final images retain a classic, true-to-the-moment feel that will look just as breath-taking fifty years from now as it does today.

These collaborative collections offer a completely unified artistic experience for your wedding day. While I document the raw, candid authenticity of your love story through the lens, my wife Hannah Hotinski, a professional live painter, captures the romance of your union on canvas in real-time. For these select packages, our behind-the-scenes video coverage focuses beautifully on the creation of your custom oil painting as it comes to life, capturing guest reactions and the elegant atmosphere of your reception.

The Secret (1 hour) and The Elopement (2 hours) collections are exclusively crafted for intimate micro-weddings, civil registry ceremonies, and private milestones. Because a traditional wedding day involves multiple locations and a complex timeline, from morning preparations through to the late-night reception, these shorter packages cannot be extended to cover traditional full-day schedules. For full-day stories, The Narrative or The Intimate Narrative collections ensure every chapter is beautifully captured. Unsure where your day fits? Let’s figure it out together! Head over to the Contact Page and we can map out a custom timeline for your celebration.

Absolutely! Every celebration and event is unique, and I'm always happy to tailor my coverage to fit your timeline perfectly. To ensure every project receives my full professional care, from pre-shoot planning to high-end editing and final gallery delivery, I have a base investment of $500 for all custom event and portrait bookings. Send a message through my Contact Page with your details, and we can build the perfect package for you!

Select collections include a short, beautifully paced behind-the-scenes video designed specifically for sharing with family, friends, or on social media. Please note that my primary focus and dedication throughout your day remains entirely on delivering premium, high-end photography. This video is not a traditional long-form cinematic wedding film, nor is it intended to replace a professional videographer. Instead, it serves as a creative, lifestyle-focused look behind the curtain, capturing the vibrant energy and elegant atmosphere of your day as it naturally unfolds. For collaborative packages, this coverage beautifully highlights Hannah Hotinski's fine art oil painting coming to life on canvas in real-time.

Featured in my premier collections, the Printed Archive is a custom-designed, museum-grade heirloom book built to preserve your family legacy. I firmly believe that photographs truly come alive when they are held in a tangible format. Every book is meticulously curated and custom-styled in my studio, featuring a hand-selected collection of your images that tell the true, cinematic soul of your celebration. It is designed to sit beautifully on a coffee table or shelf, lasting for generations.

It is never too late to preserve your legacy. If you have older family photos, heritage wedding pictures, or baptism memories that you want beautifully restored or compiled into a custom, premium handcrafted heirloom photobook, I offer bespoke digital archival and curation services in my studio. These collections make for incredibly meaningful anniversary or family gifts.

Yes, absolutely. I specialise in capturing the deep reverence, joy, and sanctity of family milestones like baptisms and christenings. These sacred moments are documented with a respectful, candid approach that honours your faith and family traditions, preserving them as lasting memories for generations.

My automotive and adventure photography is completely tailor-made for enthusiasts, collectors, and passion projects. We collaborate on selecting the perfect, high-impact location, whether it's an urban backdrop or a rugged landscape, to capture the raw energy, engineering details, and sleek styling of your vehicle. Every session is treated with an editorial eye suitable for high-end digital galleries or premium fine art prints.

Absolutely. Beyond traditional wedding collections, I offer a completely custom-tailored approach to documenting life’s most significant milestones and events. Whether you are planning an intimate proposal, a landmark 50th birthday or anniversary celebration, or a formal sculpture and monument unveiling, I bring an intentional, documentary-style perspective to the event. Because every commission is unique, I work closely with you to understand the timeline and atmospheric nuances, ensuring these historic moments are beautifully preserved. Please get in touch via the Contact Page to discuss a bespoke collection for your event.

As an artistic specialist, the editing and curation process is just as vital to my signature style as clicking the shutter. To ensure you receive a cohesive, premium masterpiece, I do not release unedited or RAW files. Every image delivered in your final collection is meticulously selected, polished, and masterfully edited to meet high-end portfolio standards.

I pride myself on providing a seamless, stress-free experience. When you secure your booking, our digital onboarding form will allow you to specify your primary venue manager, event planner, or preferred point of contact. From there, I coordinate directly with them to review lighting requirements, site layouts, and schedule timelines. On the day of your celebration, this thorough preparation ensures every logistical detail is managed beautifully behind the scenes, allowing you and your guests to simply focus on the joy of the day.

To maintain a bespoke level of focus and detailed service for each of my clients, I only take on a limited number of commissions per year. Your date is officially secured upon the signing of a service agreement and the payment of a non-refundable retainer. Full payment is generally required 30 days before the event.

Every celebration, milestone, and passion project is entirely unique. If you have a specific request, are planning a destination event, or simply want to discuss a custom concept, I would love to hear from you. Please head over to my Contact Page to share the details of your story, and I will get back to you personally to schedule a consultation.
