Renae & Luke ~ An Abbey Beach Resort Busselton Wedding
/Renae and Luke's wedding was a classically romantic (if a little chillier than expected mid October) day. The floral ceremony styled by Liz at Bouquet of Love looked absolutely stunning, and the whites and soft pinks complimented the bridesmaid dresses and classy feel of the day perfectly. Set up inside Abbey Beach Resort's atrium the floral arbour and accessories shone against the dreamy white backlight, and the soft, classy look was carried on throughout the day with Wez Enterprises doing an amazing job of bringing the resort's grand ballroom to life for the reception, and the floral centrepieces put together by Renae's friend were just beautiful too.
We love that weddings these days allow couples to add so many personal touches to the occasion, and it was really special that Renae attached her Nonna's ring to her bouquet so she could be with her walking down the aisle too.
The ceremony went perfectly and before you knew it Luke and Renae were husband and wife, so after some time for family photos we whisked them off with their bridal party for photos in the local iconic Busselton scenery. Time with the bridal party is always so much fun because the nerves are gone and everyone just lets their hair down and enjoys themselves. We had some real characters to hang out with at this wedding and had a great afternoon.
Back at the reception everyone was in the mood to party and it was so much fun to hear all the stories shared in the speeches and to watch everyone get into the awesome Paparazzi Photobooth and kick up their heels on the dance floor.
Thanks so much for sharing your special day with us, it was an honour and a privilige to be there and get to know you all over the last year.
Enjoy the memories x

Aneta & Brett's Winter Wedding
/Sometimes people just sparkle, like our gorgeous bride Aneta. We met Aneta and Brett at the Ferguson Valley Wedding tour just over a year before their Big Day, and over the coming months we had the pleasure of getting to know them and their beautiful children Thomas and Emilia through lots of catch ups and a very family oriented engagement shoot that included creating a film for them (where we got to find out what really makes them tick). By the time the wedding came around we already felt like we were sharing a special day with friends, and we knew it was going to be a fun celebration.
Being at the start of August, their wedding was always at risk of getting a little rain, but thankfully we planned for the possibility and Aneta went out and bought super cute gumboots for her bridesmaids while we supplied some umbrellas for fun out in the rain at the bridal party shoot!
The ceremony was moved indoors to the lovely atrium at Abbey Beach Resort, which is a great undercover option when the weather isn't so wonderful. The ceremony was just gorgeous with Brett getting teary as he saw Aneta walking down the aisle, and there were some funny little personal additions to the vows... we never knew Brett was such a lover of spinach ;-)
Once the pair were husband and wife the skies cleared and we were super lucky to get some lovely sunshine out on the bridal party shoot in the Tuarts. The whole bridal party had a great time and got stuck in, giving us some of our funniest wedding memories in recent history with their efforts. The vision of Aneta's bridesmaids throwing her veil up in the air then ducking behind a log so we could get "the shot" still makes us giggle ;-)
We're sure their good mood was helped hugely by the way the team at Down South Luxury Limousines looked after them - what a five star service those guys give!
Back at the reception the grand ballroom look fantastic, and coupled with some great tunes by Rock'n'Roo DJ and our photobooth full of props everyone was ready to party. That night we saw some of the funniest guest dancing on record, and it was really great to see such a wonderful celebration, complete with Polish tradition and Australian humour.
Congratulations Brett and Aneta, thank you for sharing your day with us. We look forward to many more memories to come!
Abbey Beach Resort Wedding ~ Bethany & Ricky
/It's not very often that we are asked to photograph a Star Wars inspired light saber battle on a wedding day, but when Bethany & Ricky asked us to do just that who were we to say no?!
After all our weddings are all about our couples and we love that Bethany & Ricky had some fun making their day unique and special to them.
Aside from the light sabers there were some other great little touches like Bethany's Converse bridal shoes, and a very bright orange and yellow theme to brighten up a rainy day.
