Nieke & Kyle – Darlington Estate wedding

Nieke & Kyle

Darlington Estate Perth wedding

Nieke & Kyle first met when they were babies in South Africa! Their mums are friends and plonked them together for a photograph humouring to themselves that maybe one day they will get married. Little did they know that was to come true! They both got ready at the Mahogany Inn. Kyle’s leather bow tie was from a market in South Africa, the wooden buttons and decorations were custom orders. Nieke’s dress was exquisite as were all the thought out details, nothing was left out here. The ceremony was under the gazeebo at Darlington Estate – one of my favourite venues in Perth. It is just cute as a button in a stunning bushland setting!

Emily & Paul – Nedlands Yacht club wedding

Emily & Paul

Nedlands Yacht Club Perth Wedding

I first met Emily as a bridesmaid at Destelle & Shane‘s wedding and I have worked with her dad celebrant extraordinaire Chris Temov several times. So when Emily & Paul contacted me about their wedding photography I felt both honoured and excited! And man did they nail it! They brought together Paul’s family from the UK and Emily’s family from Perth as well as a bunch of fun loving friends for a great big party on the lawn of Nedlands Yacht Club. I loved the styling and furniture by Maisey Collections, and the opulent never ending grazing table by The Cook In The Hat was out of this frikin’ world! There are bound to be a few tears when your dad is the celebrant, I am amazed with how Chris pulled it all together after a bit of a wobbly and croaky start. Emily looked smoking hot in her gorgeous dress from Brides Selection and flawless makeup my Cat Elizabeth Artistry. Paul was oh so dapper, his suit was a Jack London Official. So much love for these two, one of my all time favourite weddings!

Tracey & Darren – Core Cider House wedding

Tracey & Darren

Core Cider House Perth wedding

The Perth hills in spring is such a great choice! Even better in amongst the apple blossom at Core Cider House. Tracey & Darren are such a fun and bubbly couple. Their day was heartfelt and packed with friends and family, even Darren’s 100 year old granddad who flew in from the UK! I was completely gobsmacked by this gentleman who stood and spoke to his grandson and new granddaughter. Very inspiring! Smiles and laughs all around and a dancefloor full of all generations!

Jo & Nick – Matilda Bay wedding

Joanna & Nick

Matilda Bay Perth wedding

These two lovely people were such a blast to hang out with. Sweet Jo in from the UK and had close family and friends fly over for the day. She got ready in her gorgeous apartment in Fremantle, her beaded dress was one of the most stunning dresses I have ever laid eye upon. It was a typical Perth summers day, 40 degrees and sunshine. The groom and his squad were all sweltering except for his grooms-chick who had a dress rather than a suit. Matilda Bay foreshore was a stunning backdrop for the ceremony and the reception with a big marquee under a great big fig tree. Oh and they brought their dog for the photos! So cute, and so excited!

Leah & Chesney – Millbrook Winery wedding

Leah & Chesney

Millbrook Winery Perth wedding

I headed to Fraser Suits Hotel in Perth to catch up with the groom and his squad. There was a super chilled vibe in there and time for a Whiskey and a game of poker before departure. Leah and her girls were getting ready at her family home and there too was an air of calm sophistication and elegance. These two young lovers had never been to a wedding before planning their own, but man did they nail it! The ceremony was out on the lawn at Millbrook Winery, and the threat of rain didn’t even flap them. We wandered the grounds for photos, they practiced their first dance in a grass meadow between the lakes it was all just so beautiful! Then inside for a sit down dinner with speeches and dancing the night away.

Anna & Dan – Moore & Moore Cafe wedding

Anna & Dan

Moore & Moore Fremantle wedding

Anna & Dan had a lovely traditional church ceremony atSt Brigid’s in Northbridge, it tugged on all the heartstrings. We headed to Subiaco Common for some shots with the bridal party and then onto The Roundhouse Fremantle for more photos of the lovers. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had so many good laughs along the way. Reception was at Moore & Moore Cafe in Fremantle, diy decor and gifts had been bought on the road in South America. The couple surprised everyone with a sultry tango that they had learnt while travelling in South America. What a beautiful celebration to be part of.

Destelle & Shane – Swan Valley wedding

Destelle & Shane

Swan Valley wedding

These two soulmates met while working in the airline industry overseas. We had a lovely and windy engagement session/test run 6 months before the big day. They are so comfotable in eachothers company that they are an absolute dream to photograph. Make up was expertly applied by Blushing Bridal Makeup. Both bride and groom got ready at neighbouring rooms at the Vines resort before Desi and the girls headed off to her dads house to get the master piece of a dress on. Guess who made it? Destelles grandmother! And the lady in question was there helping the bride to get ready. Ceremony and reception were both at Riverside at Woodbridge beautifully styled by WedStyle with a rustic romantic feel. My favourite Perth celebrant Chris Temov held a warm and heartfelt ceremony. The gorgeous blooms were by Lush Creations. While the guests enjoyed canapees and drinks at the reception, we whisked off to Guildford and Lancaster Winery for some quitessential vinyard photos. The wedding cake was made by The Glory Box and everyone kicked their heals off and danced the night away to live music by Murphys Lore.

Tegan & Brett – Chapel Farm wedding

Tegan & Brett

Chapel Farm Wedding

Tegan and Brett are so lovely! They had an engagement session months before the wedding so when their day came it was like seeing old friends again. The entire shebang was at Chapel Farm in the Swan Valley, from getting ready to getting loose on the dance floor. It was great! Dream team of suppliers included celebrant and dowright lovely lady Liz Hayes, stunning flowers by Ruby Tree Creative, elegant wedding dress by Brides by Design, Cake and deserts by the master The Cake & I, wedding arbour and chairs by Wedding Day Flair, LOVE letters on the dance floor by Vintage Letters & Co, live music by the talented Ari Davis and keeping the dance floor pumping all night long was DJ Phil.

Ella & Danijel – Perth wedding

Ella & Danijel

Ella & Danijel met at work where a romance blossomed into sweet true love. Their wedding was a family affair with the ceremony at St Annes Church North Fremantle, photos at the South of Perth foreshore and reception at the South of Perth Yacht Club. Ella has got to be one of the most beautiful brides I have ever photographed. Just look at that face! Yes – bride crushes are a thing:) Her wedding details were elegant and crisp. Gorgeous flowers were from Haus of Bloom. Dress to die for was by Palas Couture and her cheeky pony tail was by Koko Blaq Coiffeur.

Sophie & Michael – Oakover Grounds wedding

Sophie & Michael

Oakover Grounds wedding

These two beauties chose the gorgeous Oakover Grounds, Swan Valley for their wedding ceremony and reception. Keeping both at the same place makes so much sense to me: less travel time = more time with your loved ones!

Michael and the groomsmen got ready at his parents gorgeous farm and Sophie and her bridesmaids at the Vines Resort. Exceptional curls and bridesmaid styles were provided by Special Occasion Hair Creation and flawless makeup by Starlet Concepts. Delicate, whimsical, elegant flowers made by Just Wedding Flowers, and her wonderful Stella York wedding dress really was a sight to be seen. Their family friend Thea Wale conducted the ceremony in a warm and personable manner. Turtle and the Pelican provided giant lawn games for the guests to mingle and play while we wandered off for some gorgeous cloudy sunset photos.
