Andy and Jade’s Wedding Photography

July 4th, 2011

Remember Andy and Jade’s Pre-Wedding Shoot? Andy is a mate from my uni days in Brisbane, and we’ve both since made the migration across to Perth. Him and his lovely bride Jade got married in Andy’s Mum’s garden in Claremont, a stunning spot designed to flower especially for the occasion. This allowed me and my assistant for the day Rog to get some really nice shots of the wedding ceremony. It was also just a short drive down to the park at Perry Lakes, where the sinking sun, a couple of vintage Jags and an awesome bridal party made for a fun photoshoot! We moved from there to the beach at Cottesloe, just in time to get some sunset wedding photographs. The reception was at Indiana’s, right on the beach at Cottesloe, meaning it was just a short stroll from our last photography spot to the  restaurant. Great food, speeches and music topped off a real special wedding day! Thanks for letting me be a part of it guys, hope the wedding photography made you smile!

Will and Claire’s Wedding

June 30th, 2011

Will and Claire held their wedding on April the 9th in the Swan Valley. Wedding photography in the Swan Valley is always a blast, and Will and Claire’s wedding was no different. The sun was out for their ceremony at the Waters Edge Winery, a secluded wedding venue right on the banks of the Swan River. They chose the perfect spot, right under a huge tree that shielded the sun and allowed for some softly lit wedding photos that have a golden glow to them. It was a great spot for the family photos too. The reception was just around the corner at the Riverbank Estate, and we were able to stop on the way next to the bridge over the Swan and take the bridal party shots and have a bit of a breather before heading to the Riverbank. Will had organised a couple of awesome vintage cars as the bridal party transport, and they made good props for the wedding photographs too! Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day Will and Claire, and all the best for the future!

Jen and Mal’s Wedding

June 20th, 2011

Good people deserve happiness, so it was great to see Jen and Mal looking so happy on their wedding day, and even better being able to photograph it for them! We took a few photos at Jen and Mal’s place and Mal’s folks’ place in the Northern suburb of Greenwood, and then had the bridal party photoshoot in Matilda Bay, and a few shots at the infamous jetty on Stirling Highway… you know, the one with the blue house :) We did the photoshoot before the ceremony, which made for a nice change and took a lot of the pressure off the rest of the day. The reception was at the Mosman Park bowling club, which has stunning views and the added pleasure of being able to enjoy a game of lawn bowls at your wedding! Good choice Mal and Jen! Here’s some pics from the day.

Karen and Chris’s Wedding

February 13th, 2011

Karen and Chris got married in the back yard of their beautiful Shenton Park home in Perth. A hot December day made the poolside setting just perfect, and true to this fabulous couple’s character the wedding was a relaxed, chilled and very, very smiley occasion. You could sum it up in three L’s actually – laughter, love and laidback! If their wedding and the other moments Ive spent with them are anything to go by, Chris and Karen are going to have a lot of fun together.It was a great wedding to photograph because the guests were an amazing array of characters who all really wanted to be there, so everywhere I turned there was something or someone to photograph. Made my job very easy! Here’s a few of my favourite images from the day.

Peter and Shayne’s Toowoomba Wedding

January 30th, 2011

Shooting Peter and Shayne’s wedding in Toowoomba was a good excuse to head interstate for a bit of a holiday. Visions of sunning ourselves on Queensland beaches were laid to rest by mother nature, who decided that sun wasn’t going to be a luxury we would enjoy on this trip! Thats ok, it was a good opportunity to catch up with mates, and of course to photograph this fantastic wedding. The rain on the day didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits or enthusiasm, and it even stopped for a couple of hours so we could get the bridal party photoshoot done. A special mention must go to the bridesmaids and groomsmen who were pretty much up for anything during this shoot! Lots of fun and a great setting looking out over a valley made for some pretty cool wedding photos. Congrats Peter and Shayne, it was a well planned and brilliantly executed day! I’m sure your married life will go just as well. Here’s some images I like from the wedding:

Its sad to think that a little over a month after this wedding the waterways around Toowoomba reached critical capacity, resulting in the hectic and shocking floods which you would have seen all over the news. Plenty people at the wedding would have been affected in some way or another, but from what I’ve heard they all got through it relatively physically unscathed. Obviously others weren’t so lucky, and homes, livelihoods and lives have been lost. My heartfelt condolences to anyone affected in this way.


Glenn and Clare’s December Wedding

January 9th, 2011

Perth is the kinda place where everybody seems to know everybody, or at least somebody that knows somebody that knows you or that you know… know what i mean? And it’s no different with Glenn and Clare, the awesome couple whose wedding I shot on the 4th of December. Clare’s brother Sam is married to a girl called Stella, who 15 years ago used to live on the farm next door to myself in Zambia. Crazy I tell ya! So thats how Clare and Glenn got in touch with me about wedding photography, and I’m really glad they did because their wedding was a pleasure to shoot. We started off up north of Perth in Kinross and Mullaloo where Clare and Glenn were respectively getting prepared. Luckily the two suburbs are close so we could get wedding photos of both parties. Then it was down to the Harold Boas Gardens in the city for the morning ceremony, which was in a beautiful spot surrounded by tall trees and water features. We took the family shots here as well, as well as a few of the formal bridal party photographs. The rest of the bridal party photoshoot we did in front of the city, in the park between the Perth Belltower and the city. The reception was at the Melbourne Hotel, a quaint, colonial-esque hotel in the city centre where we could get some cool couple photos of Glenn and Clare, just before their very fun reception began! Attached below are a bunch of my favourite pics from the day. Thanks Glenn and Clare for a great day!
