The wonderful Helen & Vern were married inside the beautiful function room at The Boatshed Restaurant in South Perth. With picturesque views of the Swan River and the Perth CBD it was a stunning location for a perfect wedding! Surrounded by their nearest and dearest they exchanged their vows, had some laughs, and most importantly made their commitments and love for each other cement!

After their ceremony and the congratulations from their loved ones, Helen, Vern, their bridal party and I walked down the jetty for some city and sunset backdrop bridal images! Following this, we all went back into The Boatshed Restaurant to get more group photos as the sun was setting, and they finished up with a delicious sit down meal.

Such a stunning wedding, for two very lovely people. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day, I wish you both all the happiness in the world! <3

Kendra and Shaun approached me to photograph their registry office wedding in April this year, and with only a few guests attending they wanted beautiful but low key photos that captured the love on their special day!

Following a beautiful ceremony, we all went downstairs to the “Old Perth Boys School” on St Georges Terrace and got some family photos with the lovely old bricks as the backdrop, following this we all bundled into my car and drove to nearby John Oldham Park which is tucked away underneath the freeway. What a stunning park indeed!

We had a handful of ideas of what we wanted to do but Kendra and Shaun were very open to suggestion and direction and after some time photographing at various spots around the park, we got back into my car and drove to the always classic Perth Blue Boatshed along Mounts Bay Road for a few final photos.

Their wedding was proof that you don’t need to have a large wedding in a big fancy venue to capture how much love you share for each other, and while I’ve attended some beautiful big and fancy weddings, the smaller more intimate ones are always my favorites <3

Congratulations to you both again and wishing you all the very best in your new life together! <3

Julie and Craig contacted me regarding their wedding photography and being an older couple they didn’t want anything too fancy or over the top! Such a beautifully in love and laid back couple, Julie even hand made her own bouquets and flower pin holes and they looked absolutely beautiful!

I arrived to their home to get some photos of Julie’s preparations with her best friend and family. It was a very laid back, relaxed and fun atmosphere with almost no stress or nerves! The look on her fathers face when he walked through the door to see his daughter dressed in white for her first marriage was absolutely precious!

Their wedding venue of choice was the Mandurah Offshore Fishing and Sailing Club which not only had a beautiful big venue room but it also had marina views and a beautiful lawn area out the back where their ceremony was set up. The weather couldn’t have been any nicer and after a very emotional ceremony where there were a lot of tears, we walked down to the nearby beach and had some fun running around in the waves for their bridal party shoot – after this we went back up to the Sailing Club for their bridal entrance to which they were met with a huge round of applause from all of their loved ones.

Shortly after their entrance we could see beautiful golden colours outside from the sunset so we snuck back down to the foreshore to get a few last photos as the sun dipped below the horizon. Once back at the reception, the speeches begun and they were so absolutely heartfelt and filled with emotion that even I felt like I had known Julie and Craig for all of my life!

After a delicious buffet meal it was time to dim the lights, kick of your shoes and boogie down on the dance floor. After Julie and Craig opened the dance floor with their first dance, Julie and her Father moved around the dance floor, this was followed by a lot of very funky dance moves by some very capable guests of theirs!

All in all a beautiful, heartfelt and emotion charged wedding – I wish Julie and Craig all the best in their lives together and am so appreciative that they chose me to capture the newest stage in their journey <3
