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!

Carli & Shae's Ocean Inspired Wedding @ Aqua Resort Busselton

We knew Carli and Shae's wedding was going to be a cool day. This pair from Dongara have travelled all over the world and have an ongoing love affair with the ocean, so it was perfectly fitting for them to have a destination wedding on the beach. They picked an awesome spot for it too, with Aqua Resort Busselton providing a gorgeous backdrop to a beautiful day. 

Getting ready, Shae was a picture of laid back relaxation, while Carly prepared with a bit more nervous excitement. For the ceremony Shae respected his Maori heritage by wearing a tribal cloak, and the emotion was almost overwhelming as they said their vows and became husband and wife. 

Before the reception we whisked the bridal party off to the Tuart Forest and Busselton jetty to have some fun with their photoshoot, before heading back to the beautifully styled marquee in the gardens at Aqua to celebrate into the night. 

Daring to be a bit different, these two lovebirds swapped their engagement portrait for a Trash the Dress session after the wedding, which they chose to do underwater!

You can check out that experience HERE, but in the meantime enjoy the photography we captured at their beautiful wedding. Thanks for sharing your day with us Carli and Shae we loved being there to celebrate with you all!

Gemma & Mark's Moody Cow Brewery Wedding

We just love laid back weddings full of bright colours and quirky style, and Gemma and Mark's wedding certainly fit the bill! 

From Mark's beloved Adelaide Crows tie, to the cool ceremony styling (thanks to Ferguson Valley Events) at Moody Cow Brewery, the perfectly designed flowers (by Scentiment Flowers) and the ice cream van, this day was full of unique little touches that added to the celebration and made it completely impossible not to have fun. 

It was also a day that proved that you don't need matching numbers of bridesmaids and groomsmen to pull off awesome bridal party, with Gemma's maid of honour completely outnumbered by the boys and nobody caring one bit. We say choose who you want with you, choosing your bridal party is not a numbers game it's about having the people you love closest to you on your special day :-)

Congratulations Gemma and Mark, we know you're never going to take life too seriously and you'll enjoy each others company through everything that life brings, and what more can we all ask for than that!

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 :-)

Sam & Dave's 50's inspired Bunker Bay Beach Wedding

We were so excited to be part of Sam and Dave's modern vintage wedding. From the planning stages we knew it was going to be a beautifully styled day, and we definitely weren't disappointed!

Samantha had a beaming happy smile on her face from the first thing in the morning it didn't fade all day.  After their ceremony we went for a lovely drive in their beautiful vintage car down to Shelly Cove for fun filled bridal party photos.

The attention to detail and final touches on everything made this wedding just picture perfect. The lovely couple celebrated their wedding night with family and friend at Bunker Bay Cafe.

You can read all about this awesome day and how Sam put it all together here:

Margaret River Wedding ~ Samantha & Richard

margaret-river-wedding-photographer.jpg

We had been looking forward to Samantha and Richards wedding for MONTHS!! It was a big lead up...

Sam entered our Fabulous Fusion Love Story competition back at the start of 2013 and won with her gorgeous tale of how the two of them met and fell in love. From there we produced their Fusion Love Story, and they had so much fun they booked us for their wedding too!

Fast Forward a year to 2nd March 2014, and we finally got to share their special day at Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River with their family and friends, and gorgeous bridal party.

The bridal Party portraits were held at Prevelly Beach rivermouth and the Vineyard. We produced our very first wedding fusion film for their special day so we had the whole gang at this wedding - Clare, Jo and John! It may have looked a little  like they had paparazzi after them but everyone had a great time, and we promise to show off their awesome film very soon!
