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.

The Raft, Perth city wedding

Laura and Michel’s Perth waterfront wedding day at The Raft in Perth was nothing short of incredible and we all had so much fun! I have been a wedding photographer in Perth for over a decade and I don’t think i’ve seen a prettier sunset view of the Perth city than from The Raft, right on the water.

Romantic, modern and minimalist are all words they used to describe their day. Laura wore a Brides by design wedding gown and Katie Cooper’s florals always make a stunning wedding day even more exceptional! The view of the swan river and Perth city from The Raft at dusk and night is absolutely breath taking and I mean who doesn’t want to take a boat ride on their wedding day!

I photographed Laura and Michel’s wedding using a mix of 120mm film and digital photography. Their Chinese tea ceremony was held the week before their wedding, their ceremony was held at their local church, bridal portraits at The Como treasury and reception was at The Raft on the swan river.

They told me their reception was all about having fun with their nearest and dearest, and fun it was. The Raft is a floating Bar & Eatery is in the middle of the Derbal Yerrigan and is a 5-minute trip aboard their tender vessel from Barrack Street Jetty. There are little things that you can add that make a big difference to a wedding day- espresso martini’s and other cocktails were served while watching the sunset over the Swan river, Katie cooper’s flowers covered the tables, Laura’s cake topper was made of polaroids taken on the day, an idea she saw on pinterest and Yum seng Toast’s always make a wedding reception even more fun.

Kind words from Laura:

“Dear Amelia, OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you so much for capturing the most magical day of our lives! The pictures are absolutely incredible! We could not have asked for better photographs that capture our love in the air. From my first phone meeting with you, to the end of the wedding day, you were such a calming presence to be around. From two very awkward people who were nervous to take photos for the day, you captured us in our best elements and kept it truly to just us. We love the candidness of these photographs and how light, bright and clear they are. We love that we are now able to relive our wedding day over and over again. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!” Laura and Michel
