Margaret River Wedding ~ Ashley & Conor

Ashley and Conor were married at the stunning St Thomas Moore church in Margaret River.We all traveled down to Boranup Forest and Prevelly Beach for photos before heading back to Margaret River. Our lovely new assistant Bianca came with Clare to capture the gorgeous day.

The cocktail reception was held at Watershed Wines in Margaret River, decorated in beautiful simplicity by Chic Rustique, who also created the awesome bouquets.  The yummy yummy YUMMY cake was created by Edible Art, which indeed it was!

South West Wedding Venues - Watershed Winery

We know that one of the most important things for Brides-to-Be is finding that perfect place for your Big Day - one that suits the style of your dream wedding, accommodates your guest list, and is close by to awesome locations where you can capture stunning images and make joyful memories of your Day. Throughout the course of our work we are lucky enough to photograph weddings in beautiful locations and venues throughout South West WA, and we want to help Brides find that perfect place. So over the coming months we will be featuring the venues that we spend time at and enjoy photographing, so that you can get an insight into your options and choose the perfect venue for you.

This month we are featuring very gorgeous Watershed Wines in Margaret River. Over the last few months we have had the pleasure of photographing several weddings at this stunning venue, and it really is just lovely. The stone building is full of character and is surrounded by immaculate lawns and deck overlooking the vines and dam below. The team are super friendly and helpful, the food looks amazing and the vineyard is only a stone's throw from stunning beaches and the Boranup Forest - perfect locations for your Bridal Party Photos (not forgetting the vines themselves of course!)

If you're looking for a winery wedding in the heart of Margaret River give the the winery call. And of course if you want someone experienced to capture your Big Day there, show you all the best photo locations around and let you in on when the vines are at their very best, get in touch with us too!

March at the Studio

We’re not really sure where to start with March, in a word it was Epic!Seven weddings including our first ever fusion wedding videos scattered throughout the beautiful Southwest, two engagement sessions, a newborn portrait (plus sisters ;-)) and a couples portrait including a trip to the airfield and Sir Henry the dog. All that as well as several new client meetings, wedding planning sessions, portrait planning sessions, ordering sessions, lots of new bookings and of course a new team member, our fabulous studio assistant Bianca (welcome to the mad house Bianca) - and not a moment too soon!

Phew! we’re exhausted just thinking about it!

We usually like to give all of our amazing clients a mention in our monthly roundup but there was just so much happening in March that we think we’d need a publisher and a book deal to write it all down. So instead, here are a few highlights for you to enjoy, and we promise we will blog all the amazing occasions for you soon!

Oh, and on a personal level there is not much to report as we have all been either at work or asleep ;-)

We hope you had a great month too!

Hamelin Bay Wedding ~ Jodie & Matt

A beautiful setting, beautiful day, beautiful people, a mishap averted and lots of silly giggles just about sums up Jodie and Matt's Big Day - not to forget a lot of love of course!Clare & Jo spent some time with Matt and the boys at Losari Retreat getting some candid and often silly pre-wedding photos which involved a few beers, some boisterous behaviour and a lot of very strange yet convincing foreign accents, before heading off to see the girls where things were much more civilised but still lots of fun. Jodie's dress was absolutely stunning and we even managed to get some shots with her much beloved dog without getting any slobber on anything ;-)

Down at the beach it took a little while to sort out exactly where the ceremony was going to be, but eventually everything was put in the perfect spot and we did our photographer thing while the lovely couple made their promises to each other in front of family and friends. The bridal party colours looked simply gorgeous by the white sand and azure waters, and we were in our element!

For bridal party photos Matt took us on a bit of an expedition through Boranup Forest (thanks for that Matt!) before we all headed to Watershed Wines for some love in the vines and a very awesome reception featuring a super original, handmade by Matt guest signing surf board!

Congratulations Jodie & Matt - if married life turns out to be anything like your wedding day you certainly have lots of unexpected events and laughs in store - sounds like the perfect way to grow old to us!
