Nikola Estate wedding- Sara and Cam

Sara and Cam’s wedding day was one I wont forget. Filled with so much love and laughter. Isaac and I had such a blast photographing and videoing their day at Nikola estate! It was such an easy going day and absolutely stunningly styled in all ways from their ceremony all the way through to their reception. Their beautiful and classic florals was by the wonderful Katie Cooper florals; always creating an absolute master piece. Their ceremony was in the white chapel in the Nikola estate vineyard and reception in the new pavilion room.

Kind words from Sara- “I am literally obsessed with them all- thank you!! And I cry every time I watch it! You’ve done such a great job capturing the day and all the feels. Thank you for everything”

We were lucky enough to have Amelia and her husband Isaac as our photographer and videographer for our wedding in October last year. From day one I felt so comfortable with Amelia, her communication and support during the planning process was amazing. She made us feel comfortable and confident and we could not be more obsessed with our photos and video!
On the day Amelia was so onto everything, understood exactly what we were hoping for and was able to make everything happen. She got all our photos and video to us so quickly, couldn’t recommend them as a duo enough, thank you guys 🤍

Nikola Estate has quickly become a favourite Wedding venue in Perth for me. There are so many lovely little spots around the venue, under the jacaranda's, the vineyards, the gardens; all so beautiful for photos making it so easy to capture couples and its extra easy when you dont have to leave the venue for the photos in between.

Sara and Cam’s ceremony was held in the Chapel at Nikola Estate and was made even more stunning by Katie Cooper’s florals lining the alter.

Kaylie and Julien's Sandalford Wedding

Hora dances, flowers that made me catch my breath, a beautiful Chuppa (a traditional jewish wedding arbour), and the most loved up bride and groom, it was the definition of a perfect wedding day!! Im a huge fan of incorporating family and cultural traditions into a wedding day. Kaylie comes from a Jewish heritage and so decided to add a bunch of their favourite Jewish wedding traditions into the day which made it so much fun. Sandalford Winery’s immaculate and beautiful grounds were the perfect place to host their big wedding day, and thanks to Kara from Hitch’d Weddings, the day ran literally without a hitch, pun intended. Hiring a good wedding planner is an easy way to ensure the day runs smoothly and takes so much stress out of the planning.

I photographed their wedding day using a mix of 120mm medium format film and digital photography, using my last couple rolls of Fuji Pro 400h. For anyone who knows anything about film they’ll know these rolls are almost extinct so I treasure every single one. I shoot both at all my weddings because it’s the best of both worlds, the beautiful timeless feeling of film and also the reliability of digital.

Kaylie and Julien first met at school, and got to know each other while doing homework together as teens! So special and wholesome right?! Some ten years or so later it was so wonderful to be apart of their next step as they became husband and wife.

What an absolutely beautiful and fun wedding reception! Looking absolutely breathe taking thanks to Hitchd weddings and the Flower girl Perth. I am such a fan of incorporating family and cultural traditions into wedding days, Kaylie and Julien started their wedding reception with a Hora dance, a traditional jewish chair dance. It was the most wonderful way to start a wedding reception with all their friends and family!

Perth Family Beach Photography

Rosie, Dion and Alba

I absolutely love being able to photograph ALL of the life events, from weddings all the way through as families grow. I photographed Rosie and Dion’s wedding a few years ago and recently had the absolute privilege of meeting their little lady at sunset by the beach. Perth sunsets in March and April are notorious for being stunning and this evening didn’t disappoint, it was absolutely perfect! Warm, still and golden.

The best way to get candid and fun images of your family that you will love for generations to come is firstly choosing a location you love and enjoy, if you enjoy the beach thats a no-brainer!

Secondly, come and just have fun. Enjoy each others company and let me do the rest.

Thirdly, choosing the right time of day is super important for how the images will turn out. I photographed this family session right at sunset, the best time of the day for golden and soft images with a film photography feel. If you’re worried the kids will get grumpy as sunset is often right at dinner time make sure you feed them before hand and bring some mess free snacks just incase.

Micro wedding at The Old tower house, Perth

Feast your eye’s on the most beautiful micro wedding in Perth!! Rob and Emily got married at The Old Tower house, it is the PERFECT spot for your elopement or micro wedding in Perth. It is a beautiful heritage building and couldn’t be a classier spot if your planning to head to the registry office or have a small intimate wedding. Its a photographers dream with perfect natural light and beautiful bay window’s! Emily and Rob decided to tie the knot in an intimate affair with their family and closest friends before their big Lake Como destination wedding next year so they could include family who were not able to travel.

Emily and Rob started the day with a Tea ceremony with their close family. Adding family or cultural traditions into your wedding day is such a beautiful way to make the day unique and the perfect way to represent you both. Emily’s super talented friend Bella from By Bella Collective designed and made her non-traditional stunning wedding dress and Emily’s bridal glam was by Connor Adam’s Makeup. Emily and Rob both got ready at the Crown Towers and then headed over to the Old Tower House in Northbridge right next to the Perth CBD to say their vows.

Perth's best and unique wedding venues

It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to planning your wedding. There are so many beautiful, unique wedding venues to choose from in Perth; all with vastly different vibes and styles. As a Perth wedding photographer I have the privilege of photographing at a huge range of wedding venues so I have put together a list of Perth’s best but uniquely different wedding venues that I have had the pleasure of photographing this year. Whether you're envisioning a romantic relaxed celebration by the coast or a historical backdrop steeped in elegance, Perth and its surround’s offer an array of beautiful and unique options. Assembly Yard in Fremantle sets the stage for a charming and relaxed outdoor affair. The State Buildings in the heart of Perth's CBD offer an unrivalled blend of history and modern luxury. Matilda bay restaurant is a favourite wedding venue down by the Swan river, Coast port beach is Perth’s closest wedding venue to the ocean or if your thinking country the The Hampton’s farm Estate is stunning. Whether your looking for indoor or outdoor, beach, farm or city, I’ve got you covered! Scroll for some of my favourite wedding venues in Perth I have photographed recently and loved!

Winthrop Hall, UWA Perth

Winthrop hall is a dream come true for a wedding photographer. Every corner of this lawn is beautiful, it has the heritage Winthrop hall on one side and the Tropical grove on the other. The lawn next to Winthrop hall at UWA is perfect for a large outdoor wedding and is really a blank canvas for you to style to your hearts content. If you would like to see more from this wedding at UWA, click here for the full wedding blog.

Postal Hall, The State buildings.

Postal hall is situated in the centre of the State buildings and offer’s a timeless, heritage-rich, super romantic setting for couples seeking a truly grand and elegant, luxury wedding. Postal hall is a wedding photographer’s dream, every corner is beautiful and filled with history. With bespoke catering options from Post (My absolute favourite in Perth) or Petition and accommodation packages for COMO The Treasury, it will be a night you will never forget.

Lamont’s Bishops house

Nestled in the heart of Perth's historic West End, Lamont's Bishops House stands as a true gem among the city's wedding venues. With its rich history dating back to the 1850s, this heritage-listed building’s timeless charm and elegance makes it a top choice for couples seeking a unique and romantic setting for their special day. The beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the venue offer a picturesque backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, making it a wedding photographer’s dream to photograph. Whether you dream of an intimate affair or a grand celebration, Lamont's Bishops House offers flexibility in event spaces and an exceptional culinary experience, making it a perfect choice for those in search of a Perth wedding venue to give you a truly unforgettable wedding day.

Assembly Yard, Fremantle

Assembly Yard is the perfect blank canvas for your wedding ceremony or reception. They have three different beautiful spots, a garden in one corner, the outdoor courtyard and indoor open space. These option’s mean the weather will never be an issue for your wedding; giving you the option of outdoor reception under the star’s or if it looks like rain they have a lovely indoor space. Assembly yard is located right in Fremantle, just south of Perth. As a wedding photographer I love the variety of options it gives you. You could have your portraits photographed in Fremantle, on the beach or even Cottesloe civic centre as thats only a short drive away.

Matilda Bay restaurant in Crawley, Perth.

Right by the water, Matilda bay restaurant is one of my personal favourites. Located just minutes from Perth city and UWA it means there is a few different photography spots to choose from for your portrait’s. Each time I’m there the setting is stunning, the venue staff always amazing and the food- always absolutely delicious. You get the best of both worlds with the outdoor wedding vibe but with the security of cover which makes it easy and fuss free.

The Hampton’s farm estate in Toodyay WA

The Hampton's Farm Estate in Toodyay is undeniably charming, and sophisticated, making it the ultimate choice for a countryside wedding not far from Perth, located 20km from the beautiful heritage township of Toodyay, only 90 minutes from the Perth Metro area. Every corner of The Hampton’s farm estate home and garden is styled beautifully, right out of a magazine and it is surrounded by picturesque landscapes setting the stage for an elegant and sophisticated wedding in the country side. It offers the perfect escape to the countryside without sacrificing the convenience of accessibility.

The Old Tower house

Perfect for intimate elopement’s or micro weddings, The Old Tower house is the most beautiful registry office you’ll find. A heritage gem steeped in history, and perfect for couples looking to exchange their vows in a more intimate and romantic setting. For me as a wedding photographer, I love nothing more than a heritage building, there is a lovely park over the road, Hyde park and the state buildings are also just a short drive away giving you a variety of options for your wedding photo’s.
