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!

Danelle & Brenton's Aravina Estate Wedding, Margaret River

Brenton and Danelle met in primary school, but it wasn't until a bad seating plan at high school where they were thrown together in class that Brenton's charm won Danelle over, and the rest they say, is history. This pair were made for each other. Eleven years together and still looking at each other like the everlasting light in each others lives. 

Their wedding was an elegant classic, and we had fun with the bridal party who just enjoyed each other's company all day. The guys in the crew were such gentlemen they even helped me off a post when I decided I needed to climb it for a shot! ;-)

Danelle looked absolutely stunning in her custom made Raffinato Bridal dress, which had beautiful lace detailing on the bodice, and Brenton scrubbed up perfectly in his classy suit. 

The pair DIYed their reception styling with inspiration from Pinterest...and a beautiful venue like Aravina Estate doesn't need much work anyway...so it all came together beautifully!

Teagan & Stephen's Black Brewing Co. Wedding, Margaret River

The first word that springs to mind when I think about Teagan and Stephen's wedding is fun. This pair were so laid back and happy, and their friends too, that we just had a fantastic day full of silliness, laughter and, well, fun!

We were loving the colours of the day, the burgundy and greenery just looked amazing and the styling was beautiful. We also loved Teagan's cape - stunning!

Theirs was one of the best receptions we've been to ever, everyone was up on the dance floor just having a great time and celebrating the occasion, without a care in the world. 

Congratulations to the happy couple, what a great day!

Lisa & Sam's pearl river houses Wedding margaret river

Lisa & Sam's Margaret River wedding was a lovely relaxed day with family and friends. With everything in one place, they could get ready while they watched the ceremony and marquee take shape, and just enjoy the beautiful day.

When your grandad owns a retired racehorse it would be rude to not include him in the celebration too, so Lisa rode in on horseback much to all the guests delight, and we of course took a little time out for some photos with Tommy too. 

After they said their I Do's we made our way to the beach for photos with the Kombi Van that the pair had been so excited about, and had a great afternoon with them and their friends before heading back to Pearl River Houses to watch an impressive first dance and listen to some gorgeous speeches, before leaving everyone to party the night away.

Angie & Scott ~ Abbey Beach Resort Wedding Busselton

The lead up to Angie & Scott's wedding day was a little different from most because they live in Geraldton and just had the spontaneous idea to get married while they were on holiday, so we had done all our planning together over the phone and internet (isn't technology just wonderful these days ;-)). They had planned an intimate ceremony in the early afternoon at Abbey Beach Resort, with  closest family and friends there to share their day, some time for photos and then a nice dinner at the resort. When the wedding came around it turned out to be a beautifully hot February day and the whole event was the relaxed, joyful occasion it was meant to be :-)

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
