Lake Como Wedding at Villa Lario Resort

VILLA LARIO RESORT DESTINATION WEDDING IN LAKE COMO, ITALY.

Tiffany and Andy’s Italian destination wedding at the Villa Lario resort in Lake Como was an absolute dream to photograph. It was filled with pop’s of colour, beautiful florals, classic Italian treats and so much fun. The theme of their wedding was of course their fur baby Taco who flew into Lake Como from New York, along with all their favourite people. They spent the week in Lake Como together with all their friends and family and had a week of festive’s including an amazing race day and their Chinese tea ceremony, a perfect way to all spend some quality time together. Tiffany and Andy shared that they wanted their wedding day to represent who they are. The day began with Spritz’ to help us all cool off and during the ceremony they sung some of their favourite songs from church. During cocktail hour while Tiffany and Andy had their photo’s taken on an Italian boat the guests enjoyed live music and delicious Italian meats and cheeses. Their reception was secretly Taco themed, if you look closely you can see him in some of the stationary. An opera singer disguised as a waiter sung at the reception during dinner and ended with fireworks, a Champagne tower, cannoli and dancing. It was the most wonderful wedding day.

Tiffany and Andy got ready at the Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio on Lake Como and then traveled by boat to their wedding venue on the other side of the lake at Villa Lario. The grounds and gardens at Villa Lario Resort over look the Italian mountains and lake with the most spectacular view. You really cant go wrong when you’re in Lake Como, Italy with such a beautiful venue and wonderful team. CCL events, Honeycomb affair and the rest of the incredible team made this luxury destination Italian wedding one I will never forget.

Spring maternity photoshoot in the Perth Hills

Perth is just exploding with wild flowers at the moment and I was blown away by this field we stumbled upon in the Perth hills for Rachel’s bump maternity photography session for their second little girl. Ive had the pleasure of photographing these guys starting from their first little girl’s maternity session and ill have the pleasure of meeting this little bub soon!

Recently I had a friend ask me whether a maternity photography session for the second pregnancy is worth it? There is a few reason’s why I think it is! Firstly, its the last time your first baby will be your only baby, they will never be your only child again and I think that’s a super special moment to be able to capture. Secondly its so beautiful to be able to capture your family as it is right now, toddlers are crazy but they are so much fun! And thirdly, pregnancy is hard and incredible all at the same time and capturing it so you can look back on those beautiful last days is super special.

Cottesloe Civic centre pre wedding session

I have been a wedding photographer in Perth for over a decade now and Cottesloe civic centre is still one of my favourite venues in Perth for wedding portraits or engagement photos. Just scroll and you will see why, every inch is beautiful.

I get asked all the time, when is the best time to photograph the portraits on your wedding day or engagement session? The answer is simple, golden hour. I bet you can guess why it got the name, golden hour is the hour before sunset when the light is the softest, skin tones look the best and all the trees are glowing in the lovely soft light. Around an hour before sunset or as close to that as possible. If you cant do this then try set some time aside during your wedding reception to step out for ten minutes at sunset, it will be well worth it.

Claudia and Tim's East Perth Wedding

I’m so excited to share Claudia and Tim’s bright, colourful and vibrant wedding. I had the privilege of photographing and videoing their love filled, super fun Perth wedding day. You see the love through the screen cant you. Their day was full of beautiful little details that made the day so unique to them including embroidery on Claudia’s veil by Zanzi’s bridal and of course her lovely Jimmy Chou shoes.

Claudia and Tim’s wedding video was videoed by myself and my wonderful team, meaning that their photo’s and video all look cohesive and the editing is similar.

Claudia and Tim’s reception at The Camfield was made so beautiful by The Flower Hound and Hire in style. And was full of so much fun including a champagne tower and yummy Cannoli, I mean, is there a better combo than champagne and cannoli? I think not!

Matilda bay Restaurant with Bertie Does

MATILDA BAY RESTAURANT WEDDING IN CRAWLEY, PERTH.

Should you hire a wedding planner? Well if you continue to scroll I think the answer will quickly become apparent! Bertie does planned and styled Julius and Abbey’s beautiful event at Matilda bay restaurant, one of my favourite Perth wedding venues. I mean, look at that sunset right on the river! And then pair it with Natural Art flowers by Rebecca Grace and you literally cannot go wrong with your wedding or event.

Every inch of the place was covered by either beautiful flowers by Natural Art flowers, signage by Paper fusion or perfectly complimenting furniture by Event artillery and Perth’s Matilda bay at sunset couldn’t have been a more wonderful back drop.
