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!

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!

Leah and Dimitriy's wedding was an elegant day, starting off with preparations for the girls at the gorgeous Yallingup Luxury Retreat. It has been a little while since we'd photographed a church ceremony, but St Thomas More Margaret River was the perfect backdrop for this lovely couple.
After the formals were done we took a drive up to Canal Rocks and I was super impressed with Leah and Dimitriy's total willingness to climb rocks and clamber around to make the most of the beautiful landscape and get "the shot". It's not always easy in a wedding dress but we love adventurous couples and it's always worth doing something a little different!
It was fun hanging out with a smaller group, with Leah's sister and Dimitiry's brother making up the bridal party...just a cruisy afternoon spending time with people who were totally relaxed and at ease in each other's (and my) company :-)
The reception was at Aravina Estate, where we shoot regularly and completely love, so we had some fun in the vines and paddocks before heading in to party the night away. Of course our photobooth was looking completely amazing too and definitely helped add to the fun!
Congratulations Leah and Dimitriy, we wish you a lifetime of happiness in each other's arms.

We knew Crystal and Michael's wedding was going to be a fun day when they told us they were having ten in their bridal party, including some faces we'd find familiar (from Tabitha and Lance's Pemberton wedding a few years ago). Eight Willows Retreat provided a beautiful setting with the ceremony in the bush chapel and photo opportunities galore around the grounds and at the vineyard next door. The day certainly didn't disappoint, the sun shone, the group enjoyed plenty of giggles, and the guests all had a great time. Who could ask for anything more?!

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!
Xx

We love it when couples celebrate their personalities in the styling of their Big Day. From the Harry Potter books in wooden crates to the fireman helmet nestled on top, Imogen and Paul added so many gorgeous little touches to make their wedding uniquely "them". We especially loved the cute figurines on the wedding cake and the choice of cars... Paul loves old classics, Imogen loves Kombis, so instead of one winning out over the other, they just had both. Down South Luxury Limo's chevy and Kape Kombi's van were a pretty unusual pair, but they looked cute together and we just loved what it said about our gorgeous couple, celebrating their differences...after all isn't that what a happy life together is all about?!
Chandelier's on Abbey provided a beautiful backdrop for the day, it looked amazing and Carleton couldn't have been any more helpful in making sure everything was perfect. We wouldn't have needed to go anywhere else all day, but being in Margaret River Imogen and Paul asked for some photos in the vines, so the team at Windows Estate very generously let us pop down the road to spend a little time there before the party back at Chandelier's, which finished off the day perfectly.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Roberts, thank you for choosing us to capture your special day. We left feeling very lucky to have such lovely people as our clients :-)

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!

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!
