Meet Dennis Tan

I’m a Perth wedding photographer based in Churchlands, photographing celebrations throughout Perth, the Swan Valley, the South West and beyond.

Photography found me after a hip injury interrupted my love of triathlon. I picked up a camera to stay close to the action, and what began with sports soon became a passion for capturing real people, genuine emotions and meaningful stories.

Why Photography Matters to Me

Growing up without many childhood photos taught me how valuable photographs become over time. I want to preserve not only how your wedding looked, but also the people, connections and emotions that made it uniquely yours.

As a Malaysian Australian who speaks English and Mandarin, I appreciate different cultures and traditions. Dennis Tan Creative proudly welcomes LGBTQIA+ couples, and everyone is photographed with care and respect.

Captured When You’re Simply Being You

My approach is relaxed, natural and focused on genuine moments. I’ll offer gentle guidance when you need it, bring some fun when the energy needs lifting, and step back when real moments are unfolding.

I’m calm, friendly and slightly quirky, which helps even camera-shy couples feel comfortable. You can enjoy your wedding while I capture the laughter, happy tears and spontaneous moments—without worrying about stiff poses.

A Little More About Me

Before becoming a photographer, I worked in software engineering. I’m also neurodivergent, which shapes how I notice small details, read the energy around me and approach each wedding with curiosity and care.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find me cycling, travelling, working on a creative project, relaxing with my PS5 or Switch 2, or returning to one of my many unfinished hobbies—like making cocktails, learning the ukulele or building a LEGO set I’ll eventually finish.
