Sam & Peter ~ Aravina Estate Wedding Margaret River

Sam & Pete's Big Day lived up to all expectations and was a beautifully soft, romantic, and fun day.

One of the highlights of the day for us was capturing the ladies getting ready at Smith's Beach Resort, where Sam revealed her designer Ae'lkemi dress to her bridesmaids for the first time. Sam decided that because her favourite part of a wedding is seeing the bride, she wanted it to be a surprise kept for the Big Day, and it really was a lovely moment when everyone saw her in it!

Of course the special day had so many other amazing moments as well as a lot of laughter (especially when there were a few little name blunders during the ceremony ;-)), and Sam & Pete's Bridal Party proved that even strangers can behave like old friends and helped make the occasion a great day that we were honoured to be invited to be part of.

Thank you all for making the day so much fun, now we'll leave it to our photos to tell the rest of the story. Enjoy the memories!

Emma & Cody's Brookland Valley Winery Wedding

Michelle and Jason's Laurance Wines Top Hat & Tails Affair

A little bit of English Gentry…A little bit of Aussie laid back style…a dash of sunshine, a kiss of warmth in the air…the perfect combination for the wedding of Michelle and Jason.

English Boy Jason met Aussie Girl Michelle and they fell in love….And then they chose the gorgeous Laurance Wines for their very special day.

The glorious rose gardens were the perfect backdrop for the stylish top hats and tails worn by the boys. A special part of the ceremony saw Michelle and Jason attach a ‘Love Lock” to Love Chain next to the winery lake, a really special way to ensure their day is remembered by everyone forever.

After the ceremony the Bridal Party, Clare and Carly popped next door to the private Barn for some refreshment and photo time! A frolic in the vines, and giggle on the veranda, and then off to Smiths Beach aboard a fabulous Double Decker Bus. You don't get much more English than that!

The reception room looked beyond stunning, beautifully decorated by the amazing Wez Enterprises, who always do a spectacular job. Michelle and Jason entered to the sound of a bugle horn – very regal!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Jennings, we wish you many years of joy and happiness!

Watershed Wines Wedding ~ Laura & David

Family orientated weddings always make us smile.  When the joining of two hands also includes the joining of small hands too…we smile even more.Laura and David shared their special day with their three sons Kyle, Cody and Zayne. The boys enthusiasm for the wedding made us giggle on more than one occasion.

David's expression as Laura walked down the aisle was priceless. This day had obviously been a long time coming, and was so very special to everyone who witnessed it. And when the couple vows to love each other through sore feet in heels, demanding workouts, boring cricket games and the long footy season, you know it MUST be true love! ;-)

After the ceremony we spent some time playing in the gardens and through the vines at the gorgeous Watershed Winery. The reception was beautifully decorated and incorporated a very cool Polaroid guest book attached to a mirror clothes line! What a great idea :-)

And the rules for the night?

Eat well,

Drink well,

Mingle,

Hit the dance floor,

And take some cake!
