A+D Coast Port beach wedding

Alysha and David’s wedding was on the most stunning winters day, not a lick of wind, sunny and warm and located right on the beach at Coast Port in Fremantle. What more could these lovers want? They met at work on an offshore rig and now the rest is history. Alysha wore a beautiful Pronovias gown from Brides by Design and then surprised us all at the reception by changing in a lovely Rosa Clará Couture Wedding slip dress. These guys wanted a relaxed but super fun day, choosing that as your vibe is a big part of your day being relaxed and fun but also choosing vendors like that will go a long way. If your looking for a fun lively celebrant then look no further, The Tilers Wife officiated the ceremony and there were plenty of laughs!

I get asked all the time what this difference is between full video coverage and a highlight reel, this is Alysha and David’s highlight wedding film videoed along side photography. I love capturing video and photography together.

Baby number six

Have your pregnancy captured!! You owe it to yourself to remember this journey. There is no right or wrong way to go about it, book in a photography session, call a friend, use your iphone but make sure you document this time. Even if you don’t feel wonderful right now, or it’s been a hard long 9 month’s you’ll be so glad you did. Trust me! In my experience, it’s so wonderful look back on the images and think "‘Hell yeah I did that”. This is Megans sixth and last baby, yep thats right, she’s done this six times and looks fabulous every single time! It’s such a pleasure being able to be apart of this journey each time. We chose the beach because, well who doesn’t love a Perth beach on a sunny summer’s evening and chose a few different dresses, opting to get the bump out at the end for some bump photography in the ocean.

L+K | Cottesloe engagement session

Should you have an engagement or pre wedding photo shoot? YES PLEASE!! Linda and Khang’s engagement photography session was on one of Perth’s windiest days of the year with wind of over 100km an hour but we made it work! We chose a corner of Cottesloe beach that was ever so slightly protected from the wind and then we headed over to Cottesloe civic centre to escape the wind. Using both locations meant we were slightly less wind swept but also gave us two absolutely beautiful back drops, the beach which is one of my favourite spots and the lovely gardens and stairs at Cottesloe civic centre. An engagement session or pre-wedding photoshoot is such a special way to capture you both and the love that you share in one of the most special time’s of your lives but also to get some good practice in before the big day. Sometimes there might be poses or angles you don’t like and this is the perfect time to let me know before the wedding day. So my answer is yes, its always worth documenting this precious time so it can be remembered for years to come.

L+K - Sandalford Winery wedding

SANDALFORD WINERY WEDDING IN THE SWAN VALLEY, PERTH.

This Sandalford wedding in the swan valley was such a dream to photograph! It was forecast to rain all day but true to Perth weather it was sunny from the ceremony until reception! We were seriously counting our blessings. A wedding like this couldn’t be possible without the wonderful vendors who are so good at what they do, Katie Cooper made every inch of this wedding extravagantly beautiful with her florals everywhere, Noda luxury events, Heart string hire, Edison event lighting stylists al made this reception one to remember.

These guys got through lockdowns and restrictions just weeks before the wedding date with a smile on their face, and then finally on the day so glad to have made it to the date when they could get married and start their lives together as husband and wife.

Wild and free, Family portrait session!

This little one had the most hilarious personality and I’m so glad we were able to photograph her craziness! Sometimes mum’s say to me “Im so sorry” or “good luck” but there is actually nothing I love more than letting kids be kids and seeing their personalities shine through. Whether they’re boisterous or shy, loud or soft spoken, there is so much beauty in the crazy and fun and also in the soft cuddles. That is why choosing a location when kids can just be kids is so important like this Perth field, perfect to and be loud and free.

My biggest tip’s for your family photography sessions are:

If youre worried about grumpy bubs at sunset, make sure they have an early nap!

Make sure bellies are full!

Let them run and have fun, normally life isn’t on their terms but for this session it can be.

So lets relax and enjoy an afternoon together as we bottle up life as you know it, these images will help you remember these precious moments for many years to come!
