Ben + Rhiannon Part 1} Perth Wedding Photographer

Posted on January 24, 2010

Well, by now Ben & Rhiannon have flown back to the UK, but what a wonderful day their wedding day was!  Ben’s entire family had flown out for the big day from the freezing temperatures of the UK, for our lovely balmy 38 degree’s.  Rhiannon’s family, I think, were probably a little more used to  – but gosh and gee it was a very very warm day to get married!  While Ben got ready with his family and groomsmen at a house in Mt Pleasent, Rhiannon stayed at the Novotel Langley Plaza which was a hop and a skip away from St. Georges Cathedral in the City.  So much of the wedding was significant. .. . . .  Rhiannon’s dress was her mothers, minus the sleeves.  The church was where her mother and her grandmother got married.  The decoration on the cake was also of two generations.  The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful and I loved it.  The priest talked about all the significant things that happen at a wedding, and it was just such a lovely service.  Once we were outside again, the relative coolness of the inside was traded in for the afternoon searing heat.  After an afternoon of different locations we finally finished at their reception at the Riverbank Estate for the Cocktail Party.  Ben & Rhiannon decided to surprise all of their guest with a bridal waltz that involved rollerblades.  I asked him why the rollerblades, and he simply replied “I can’t dance” . . . . (I thought he danced pretty well on the rollerblades )

I’ve had to put this into two posts because I didn’t think that one would justify all the great moments of this wedding (and I ran out of time today! )

So Ben & Rhiannon, it’s been an 18 month long journey  . . . the wedding was beautiful, special, hot and full of fun and love – thank you for inviting me to share it with you.

I put this in because of the hat . . . . I love the hat

I love this one, they have literally walked out the door of the church after they’ve gotten married.

Kelly & Luke: Wongan Hills } Perth & Western Australia Wedding Photographer

Posted on December 22, 2009

Kelly & Luke booked me for their wedding, I think, almost two years ago and I knew immediately that they were going to be a beautiful couple and the wedding was going to be special, really gorgeous.  When they wrote and told me that Wongan Hills was on the cards for the wedding, I knew that it was going to end up being this fantastic country wedding (which is was).   So how to choose from all the images that I took?  It was H.A.R.D.  I loved so many of them.  So lets start:

Despite Kelly’s military precision schedule – this is where we ended up finding Luke.  Hey it was 38 degrees and the flies were a-buzzing outside

Yeah, he’s relaxed, he’s happy (not dazed and confused at all )

So Kelly asked me how Luke’s looking  – what could I say but ‘damn hot & damn spunky’.

. . . and so were his boys!

Delicate, wistful, sparkly . . . stunning

I loved that she was getting ready in her mum’s room and it was such a retro house

OMG the eyes, the skin – she is just a dream isn’t she?

They got married under this gorgeous tree at the front of the Civic Center – the setting was lovely.

Kelly was so sweetly anxious until the rings were exchanged – and then all nerves were thrown out and the laughter began.  I love this one, they look like they are congratulating themselves for pulling it off!

Who get confettin thrown at their wedding anymore – these two did – glittery confetti.

I think they possibly look better on you than on Luke!

We found a gorgeous Firebreak on the road to another (unpronouncable town name) town and stopped there.  The flies, as you can imagine were woeful.  On the above pictures I have even had to remove flies SHADOWS!

Thank you to Nils for helping on such a very hot wedding day.  You were wonderful.

Kelly & Luke, may you be very very happy – you were both gorgeously romantic on your wedding day – we had a ball.

I want to wax lyrical about this wedding . . . but not yet – here is just one sneak peak image that stood out for me for a lot of reasons.  It’s not posed and perfect, it’s about the moment and exactly what happened at that moment.  They were just so happy and relieved that it was over and that it had been so perfect.  I don’t think Kelly even breathed before the wedding and Luke was a bit dazed & confused (but of course both were beautiful and seriously spunky!)  More shortly, I promise . . . . . I’m just a little behind on my blog so I need to catch up!

Happy Honeymoon Guys!

Eva + Daniel } Part Two } Perth Wedding Photographer

Here’s a little more of a sneak peak of Eva & Daniel’s Wedding . . . enjoy!

Eva & Daniel } Perth Wedding Photographer

Posted on November 18, 2009

My wedding season has officially begun with a gorgeous wedding down in Boyanup (2.5 hrs away south).  Kevin and I packed up early and headed down for the day.  Eva & Daniel were getting married on a gorgeous estate called Meadowbrooke Estate, which sounds like it’s closing down next year – which is a shame, because it was beautiful.

The Styling for this wedding was incredible.  Eva had meticulously planned it to the last piece of lace, and with the kind help of her mother (who managed to create almost everything ) – the wedding came off beautifully.  It was all part fantasy part vintage.  Eva’s dress was the same . . . vintage look all the way, but the side touches created this gorgeous fantasy flair.  I would have never dreamed that someone who cares & trains horses all day would come up with such a dreamy & delicate wedding.

A final mention to the ceremony before the images  . . . it was delightful . . . Eva & Daniel laughed all the way through, espcially through the vows.  Instead of promising to love, honour and obey – it was more like “well I might learn how to cook but I’m not promising anything” – it had everyone laughing.

Isn’t that how one should always start something incredible in their lives – with laughter and joy instead of solemnity & seriousness?

PART ONE

Now a little from the Ceremony:

Look out for Part Two shortly . . . .

It’s all in the Dance } Perth Events Photographer

Posted on November 8, 2009

It’s that time again when the Dance Company’s start doing their end of year concerts! I love going to them, I love the music, the costumes and the beautiful proud faces of the dancers who are showing off their beautiful skills to family and friends.   So many of the dancers from Cathy Crooks Dance Center were in last year’s concert, and so many of them had changed!  Taller – so much taller

For all of those waiting to view the gallery’s, please be aware that I am getting through the images as quick as I can, the Portraits are ready to be viewed (click on Clients button at the top), and the password is the same as last year – but if by chance you can’t remember it, just send me an email and I will let you know.

Here is a sneak peak of what’s to come:
