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.

Courtney & Phil's Donnybrook Garden Wedding
Courtney & Phil were lucky enough to live just next door to their stunning garden ceremony venue, Fern Bank Gardens in Donnybrook. Their special day was filled with love and laughter which continued on into the wee hours of the night with some hilarious games and dancing at the Sanctuary Golf Resort.
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!

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.

Katie & Kurt's Bunbury Winter Wedding
How lucky we've been this winter to have been blessed with some pretty great weather on our wedding days. In June we spent a lovely afternoon with Katie & Kurt, who had a simple ceremony at The Lighthouse Resort before and then took a little time out to make some memories before they celebrated their marriage with friends and family at Maker + Co.
Thanks for sharing your special day with us, it was a pleasure getting to know you both!

Tegan & Michael's Relaxed Bunbury Wedding
Tegan and Micheal's wedding involved a lot of tears and laughter.
Watching Micheal's emotional reaction to Tegan walking down the aisle had all their guests wiping happy tears.
On the location shoot the bridal party was spontaneous bursting into fits of laughter :)
We loved Tegan's boho wedding style. Her beautiful dress matched her natural makeup and gorgeous braids perfectly. She opted to wear some stunning pearl high heels but kicked them off as soon as the offical parts of the day were over and spent the rest of the day barefoot!

Sam & Brendon's Barton Jones Winery wedding
Both being locals to Boyanup Samantha and Brendon wanted to get married in a place that was special, and where better but the town you call home! We chose to take their wedding photos in spots that are iconic to the area including the bridge, the railway line, the tree-lined red dirt roads and of course the stunning vista of vines at Donnybrook’s Barton Jones Winery.
Lots of family came over from the Netherlands to celebrate their special day, including their gorgeous flower girls. After they exchanged their vows and Brendon kissed his bride the groom's family sang a traditional song of blessing over them, a beautiful moment.
We can't wait to start designing their gorgeous album, it's going to be a stunner!

Libby & Jeff's Big Day ~ Bunbury Wedding Photography
Jeff & Libby did things a little differently from most and planned what we fondly called their "topsy turvy" wedding day. Starting off as a surprise, they had planned the whole wedding before their family and friends even knew they were engaged!
With their ceremony in the evening, right before their reception at Water's Edge Cafe, we started off the day with Libby getting ready at the Mantra Hotel before capturing a First Look (where Jeff got to see Libby in her dress for the first time) in the gardens and then heading out for some romantic bridal portraits at various spots around Bunbury. Of course we found some pretty spots as always, but seeing as Jeff is a train driver the memories wouldn't have been complete without doing something a little different out at Picton trains, and then we rounded out the night with some sparkler fun.
To get a little insight into their special day, watch their amazing wedding film trailer (click Play on the image below) and then check out Libby's story on the Coast to Country Weddings feature here:

Janelle & Amos’ Alverstoke Barn Brunswick Wedding
It looked like it was going to be a pretty wet day at Alverstoke Homestead for Amos and Janelle's wedding, but Janelle had her heart set on a ceremony on the steps of the old school, so thank goodness for Charmaine at Ferguson Valley Events who was happy to leave the decision to the last minute and risk setting up outside. The gamble paid off as the sun came out just in time for the start of the day and kept the rain away until the drive home.
Janelle arrived in a family friend's old Holden, which was purchased from her great grandparents and restored many years ago, so it was very special for it to be a part of the day,
The day was filled with lots of fun and family love (it was so lovely to hear Janelle's boys telling her they loved her non stop throughout the day). Janelle looked amazing in her custom made dress by Brides By Design and her soft and gorgeous hair and makeup by Jenna at Belle Couture For Hair and Makeup and Pippa Hodgins for Hair. Amos made a very dapper groom in his navy suit and traditional Maori korowai too.

Sarah & Jon ~ A Roelands Wedding
Sarah and Jon were blessed with a beautiful sunny spring day at their wedding on saturday, which was a very welcome sight after a long, wet south west winter!
The pair celebrated their wedding at Sarah's parents new home in Roelands, with Jon and the boys getting ready in one side while Sarah and the girls were in the other. After the wet weather saw the end of the plan to have the ceremony at the local park (thanks to rather a lot of mud!) it was moved to the backyard, which turned out to be a lovely spot for it with the natural bush and river in the background.
It was an early start for us, arriving at 10am to capture all the preparations before the 1pm ceremony, but luckily the trees along the river at the house and in the park provided plenty of shade from the bright midday sun.
Proof that you don't have to spend big to have a lovely wedding, Sarah DIY'd the styling for the day taking inspiration from google and instagram, and the rustic browns, whites and plum purples looked lovely in the garden setting and against the boys' grey suits. The bouquets created by Eaton's Fresh Floral Studio also suited the style perfectly, as did the cake that Sarah's cousin made. Sarah looked like a princess in her Tuscany Bridal dress (which she managed to pick up second hand on Gumtree!), and Gemma Collins and Tianna Oakley finished off her look perfectly with stunning hair and makeup.
When Sarah enquired about her wedding we bonded over dogs, and as we got to know each other in the months leading up to the wedding we discovered just how important a part of her life they are. How perfect then that she and Jon could get married in a spot where the dogs could be part of the day too!
Filming the day as well as covering the photography, we got to learn a lot about the pair and for the first time I discovered the meaning of "swipe right" - and guess what - it can end in marriage!
After a lovely ceremony and photos at the park, Sarah and Jon impressed their family and friends with a choreographed first dance before everyone enjoyed a yummy buffet and drinks under a marquee in the garden. A perfectly simple and lovely way to start their new life together.
Congratulations Sarah & Jon, just keep doing what you do because according to all your friends - it works! :-)
