Victoria Baker is a professional photographer based in Bridgetown, Western Australia
Victoria Baker provides a mix of contemporary and documentary style, fine art wedding & portrait photography across the South West.
'It is such a beautiful part of the world, says Victoria, and having the privilege of witnessing celebrations of love against the majestic backdrop of the SW landscape, I feel very lucky.'
She truly understands her camera, and as a result her images have a film-like quality, similar to the classic images of yesteryear. It is a style that perfectly compliments the scenery and feeling of the SW, and a look that so many couples seek to emulate in their wedding styling.
It is amazing how perfectly this style of photography works in this region, says Victoria, with the rural landscapes and heritage buildings, I find that the film-like feel of my photos ties everything together so nicely.
As a photographer, Victoria's passion is using her imagery to tell a story. And what better story is there than a love story? She is passionate about connecting with her clients, taking the time to learn their history, the stories of their relationships, where they have come from and where they are heading.
Victoria Baker came to Australia on a backpacking trip in 2009, met her Aussie husband, a Bridgetown local, during her travels and the rest is history. I remember arriving in Bridgetown, coming essentially straight from my life in London, and it definitely took me a little while to adjust to the slower pace of life! In the UK, Victoria had completed her university degree in Photography, and spent the early portion of her career doing editorial shoots in London for well-respected publications like The Face and The Sunday Times as well as large corporate advertising clients like M & C Saatchi. 'It was fantastic exposure and working with such well-known names pushed me to define my own artistic identity. They really want their photographers to have a brand, as it were. So holding exhibitions of my work became an important part of that process for me.'
Investing time in getting to know her clients in the lead up to their weddings means that Victoria is able to work more effectively on the day. 'My couples are humble, fun-loving people who want to enjoy their day, leaving the camera worries up to me. I pride myself in being an unobtrusive photographer. My photos are real. As I document the day unveiling, they become a true representation that you can cherish- your memories preserved'

August 13th, 2019Victoria is an incredible photographer- she recently photographed our wedding in Donnelly River and was amazing!!! Our photos were exactly how we wanted to capture the day.

March 31st, 2015Victoria was amazing when she was photographing our wedding day. She was flexible, full of ideas and suggestions and captured our day perfectly. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who would ask. Thank you Victoria for capturing the memories of our day.Rebecca And Luke Saunders
September 21st, 2014We used Victoria as our wedding photographer 6 months and were extremely happy with how she captured our big day. We were both a little nervous about being in front of a camera and are definitely not photogenic one bit! But after meeting with Victoria we felt totally at ease and 100% comfortable with her gentle guidance and easy going nature. Her technical knowledge and artful eye is evident in every photo. Victoria captured our day perfectly with natural photos in many varied settings that are true to who we are and we were actually photogenic :D If you're looking for a professional, kind, efficient, talented, flawless and very affordable photographer then you can not go past Victoria.Bravura Events
July 13th, 2014Victoria was fantastic to work with! A true professional who was easy to work with and met the clients request of documentary style wedding photography. The resulting images were stunning! Thank you Victoria, I look forward to working together again.Jane Gillon
May 6th, 2014Victoria's photographs on our Ferguson Valley property for our son's wedding were so much more than we anticipated. She captured the bridal couple's sense of fun, informality and obvious love for one another. Victoria is easy to work with, very professional, and put everyone at ease, which was reflected in the photographs. Her framing of the subjects and backgrounds were artistic, resulting in photographs that are stunningly beautiful. We have no hesitation in recommending Victoria for capturing those special , memorable moments.Victoria Jenkins

Victoria captured the character of our guests as well as us, and was very unobtrusive whilst capturing every moment. We would highly recommend Victoria to anyone who is seeking a friendly, professional and candid photographer. Thank you Victoria!!!Testimonials Submitted by the photographer

Victoria is an absolute professional with an amazing talent for photography. She captured the feel of the day perfectly. Thank you and I look forward to working together again soon! Lauren Simcock - The Style EstClaire Hickey,
Victoria was incredible every step of the way, from booking to delivery of our photos. She listened to our desires and requests, and produced photos beyond anything we could have hoped for. The way she was able to capture special moments, casual engagements and the overall feeling of the day was outstanding. Victoria made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in plenty of laughs and perfect photos. We were then provided our photos in such a timely manner - being able to relive the day again so quickly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ??Bac Hardey,
Last weekend we had the absolute pleasure of having Victoria photograph our wedding. Right from the time of booking she was approachable, enthusiastic and so lovely. No question was too hard to answer, and there was no awkwardness at all when dealing with her. On the day, Victoria was totally professional and unobtrusive; in fact I have seen photos that friends had taken which show Victoria in them snapping away, but I had no idea she was even there! She managed to capture some truly wonderful moments, very quietly, and without any fuss or being obvious. For our photos after the ceremony Victoria had us completely at ease. In fact, going on the sneak peek I’ve seen so far of those shots, she has managed to take two of the most awkward people in the world, not at all known for being happy to be in front of a camera, and made us look good ???? So far I’m incredibly happy with the photos that I have seen, and I can’t wait to see what else she has captured of our special day. She is honestly so incredibly talented. I’m so pleased that I managed to secure Victoria’s services and can not thank her enough for her genuine care of her clients and attention to detail. Thank you Victoria! ???????? xxWrite your review
