The soft light and variety of backgrounds in the small inner city location means it features in many wedding albums for couples whose wedding ceremony or reception is based near Perth city.

The earthy red gravel drive and the mat of autumn leaves through winter means there are lots of contrasting colours and seasonal textures at the location.
