The Taiwanese actress Xu Ruotong recently shared her wedding photos with her husband, Lee Yun-feng, on Facebook. Unlike typical wedding photo backdrops, these images capture stunning natural landscapes that serve as a witness to their happy romance. This four-day, three-night wedding photo shoot was planned entirely by Lee Yun-feng. Since Australia is where Lee spent his childhood and studied abroad, shooting their wedding photos there holds special meaning. The unique natural and cultural scenery of Australia also made for the perfect wedding photo settings.

Among them, the wedding photos taken at Perth’s Wave Rock are truly breathtaking, with many people asking where it was. Xu Ruotong commented that this massive wave symbolizes the powerful strength of their love. Towering in the desert of central Western Australia, Wave Rock is part of the northern section of Hyden Rock and is also its most unique part. Standing 15 meters high and stretching approximately 110 meters in length, its undulating shape resembles a colossal rolling wave—truly spectacular. Although it takes nearly five hours by car from Perth, many people still make the trip each year just to witness the grandeur of Wave Rock.

Wave Rock is composed of granite and formed around 2.7 billion years ago. Through the forces of nature, the surface of the rock has been carved into recessed shapes. Over time, the continuous erosion by rainwater gradually shaped it into its wavelike form. The dramatic temperature differences between day and night have also played a major role. The entire erosion process is very slow, but the result is remarkably spectacular—the power of nature is truly not to be underestimated. The lines on the surface of Wave Rock are formed when rainwater containing carbon and hydrogen erodes away surface chemicals and triggers chemical reactions, resulting in black, gray, ochre-red, brown, and earthy-yellow stripes on the rock face. These varying shades make the rock appear more vivid, resembling a rolling ocean wave. For a long time, this breathtaking sight remained hidden in the desert of central Western Australia until 1963, when a photographer named Jay Hodges entered a photo of Wave Rock into an international photography competition in New York and won. It later became the cover of National Geographic Magazine, instantly gaining fame and turning Wave Rock into a popular spot for photographers. The secret to capturing the various colored stripes of Wave Rock is to shoot during the afternoon, when the colors are at their most vibrant.

In addition to Wave Rock, the wedding photo locations also included the shores of Swan Lake, with blue skies and white clouds creating an even more expansive and magnificent backdrop. The golden wheat fields alongside the highway feature endless roads and straw landscapes, offering a 360-degree panoramic horizon that showcases a rare sense of grandeur and wild beauty in wedding photos. Graffiti at weekend markets can also be spontaneously used as fantastic backdrops, resulting in playful and sweet wedding photos. In recent years, the trend of taking overseas wedding photos and going on honeymoons has been growing. It’s worth considering popular international travel destinations and itineraries to create unforgettable memories for your wedding photos and honeymoon.
