Morgan & Luke's Boyup Brook wedding

The theme for Luke & Morgan’s wedding was rustic country and boy did they deliver! The boys swapped their shearers singlets for bow ties in the backstage rooms at the Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Centre, which is filled with country music memorabilia, while the girls got into their cowgirl boots at a beautifully restored heritage home.

They held their ceremony in an open paddock with a huge tree arch creating a stunning backdrop. While a nervous Luke waited at the top of the aisle Morgan and her girls made their grand entrance to the ceremony on the back of a John Deere Tractor!

After the ceremony we ventured around the grounds at Harvey Dickson’s taking photographs in the rodeo ring and amongst the various collections of historical memorabilia. Onto the reception which had fake legs, records and various other objects hanging from the roof. The atmosphere was set for a lively celebration!

Chloe and Dave's Roelands Wedding

Chloe and David treated their guests to a relaxed wedding on their Roelands property. They D-I-Y ed all the styling themselves, including the signage and their resin bar. Dave even made their awesome LOVE sign as a surprise for Chloe one weekend!

Their much loved fur-baby Rexy was involved in their special day too, even being included in their vows! We all had a bit of a giggle when it was read that Rexy was always by their side…only to be nowhere in sight! The ceremony was quickly paused while Rexy was rustled up, and then proudly strolled down the isle!

After the ceremony we headed to a local reserve to take their bridal party portraits before heading back to their house for their gorgeous reception.

Melissa & Jarrad's Black Brewing Co Wedding

Melissa and Jarrad both have a great sense of humour. As a little wedding gift to Jarrad, Melissa got her face printed on his wedding jocks! Not to be outdone, Jarrad wrote a note to Melissa on the inside lid of her shoe box and enclosed a stunning polaroid of himself ;)

Needless to say after starting out the day this way their wedding day was full of laughter! The speeches bought the house down and there was shapes being cut all over the dance-floor!

Sara & Nathan's Ramada Resort Beach Wedding

Sara is a gorgeous bubbly bright eyed soul who looked every bit the fairytale princess in her big dress. She confessed that she was a bit of a black thumb so opted for silk flowers instead of the real thing. Nathan is a bit of a car nut so he requested that we get some great photos taken with his much loved Holden Gemini...and Sara ;)

Sara and Nathan also wanted to include their beloved dogs as part of their big day. Marley their boy stood with the boys and Mia their girl walked down with their first bridesmaid!

Phil had a special request that we take a photo of his brand new wife and his beloved tractor ;) We love our brides like Courtney who was brave enough to climb onto a hay bale and into a small tinny in her beautiful dress!

2019 Pet Fundraiser Calendar!

This year we wanted to celebrate all the pets we have photographed at our Pop Up Pet Portrait Days and find a way to raise even more funds for South West Animal Rescue. We brainstormed ideas and finally decided to create a calendar!

What better way to say thank you to all the pets and owners who have supported us this year than creating a beautiful printed memento that all of us can hang in our homes and enjoy for a whole year.

We’ve worked incredibly hard to design and create this product, and we hope you love it as much as we do!

The calendar features over 70 pets, fun quotes, important dates and over $1000 value in special offers. Check it out and order your copy by simply clicking the button below:

Orchard Blossoms ~ Bunbury Family Photographer

This spring I’ve been waiting patiently for the stars to align and give me a day when the sun shone over the blossoming orchards. We don’t get a very big window of time when they are in full bloom here, so I wasted no time getting my girls photo ready and getting out there for some gorgeous memories when the opportunity finally presented itself. I’m so in love with the images we created, what a beautiful backdrop for my beautiful children (not that I’m biased at all ;-)). Here’s a little snapshot for you all.

I’f you’re reading this post in spring time and you’d love us to capture some gorgeous memories of your own children in the blossoms, just get in touch!

Denise and Alex's Sanctuary Golf Resort Wedding

It’s not very often you get the bride’s dad pausing proceedings at a wedding ceremony to let everyone know the Eagles had won the grand final. His big announcement was followed by a round of applause led by the priest, Denise laughed, and then the formalities continued. Stories to remember.
