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!

Karina & Chris ~ An Edith Valley Wedding
We just loved Chris and Karina's wedding, and so did the lovely folk over at Coast to Country Weddings who have featured it on their blog today with Karina giving the lowdown on how she planned everything. Read the article and check out a few of their gorgeous images here:

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:

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! :-)

Bunbury Wedding - Teegan & Allen
When Teegan contacted us to book in her Valentines Day wedding we just knew it was going to be a romantic affair. In a time when vintage glam is the "in" thing, Teegan chose to go her own route with sparkles, bling and pink everywhere, the perfect Princess for the day, and let's not forget the unmissable Pink Hummer complete with pink carpet!
The family brought Father Ian in especially for the ceremony at Christ the Living Vine Catholic Church as Teegan and Mudzy said their "I Do"'s, then after the formalities we headed off into the sunshine to have some fun at the old buildings in Bunbury CBD before heading to the beach for more bridal party photos.
Back at the Lighthouse Beach Resort the reception looked fantastic (another amazing job by Creations Unlimited), and the bridal party and guests were being well looked after at the start of what was going to be a great night.
Congratulations Teegan & Allen. Wishing you all the best in your future together :-)
Bonnie & Kim's Country Affair at Alverstoke Barn
Bonnie & Kim chose the gorgeous Alverstoke Barn in the Ferguson Valley to celebrate their Big Day. Travelling from Kalgoorlie to celebrate, they created a beautiful rustic, fun celebration amongst family and friends. Booking our Party Package and Fusion Film, we were there to capture the whole day from start to finish, and we think you'll agree that this lovely pair will always remember the fun of the day and how they feel about each other when they watch this awesome film and look back at their photos :-)
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!
