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 :-)
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.

Michelle and Jason's Laurance Wines Top Hat & Tails Affair
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!

Sophie and Jesse's Laid Back Cheeky Monkey Brewery Wedding
To say we had been looking forward to this special wedding is an understatement. The gorgeous Sophie is a member of our local BNI chapter, so we get to hang out every Thursday morning and I’ve been hearing about the exciting plans for this wedding every week for over a year now. The weather may not have been kind to Sophie and Jesse, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of anyone. The heartfelt ceremony was held on the banks of the Cheeky Monkey Dam, overlooking the gorgeous buildings and vineyards at the brewery. A fine mist of rain fell throughout the ceremony, which made the vows all the more special and intimate.
We waited a short time for the skies to clear, while everyone congratulated the happy couple. Bridal party portraits were held close by, and showcased the gorgeous property where the wedding was held. The clouds made for some dramatic imagery!
We were booked in for our Party Package, so got to spend even more time hanging out and enjoying the reception. Our PhotoSpot was set up and captured some very crazy antics during the evening! Self-described “photo whores’ we were busy all night!
The speeches made everyone a little teary, both with emotion and raucous laughter, and the first dance was glorious. Cake and more champagne followed into the night.
I am so grateful to have shared this beautiful day with these two such fabulous people. It was so much fun, and so beautiful. We wish you many years of joy and happiness to come. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Oldfield!

Lauren and Michael's elegant Busselton wedding
Perfection.....
There really isnt a better word to describe this glorious wedding. Lauren and Michael were married on a gorgeous spring day in Busselton. The sun was bright and warm and created such a wonderful joyous feeling all day. The ceremony was held at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, officiated by Father Tony. His heart felt and genuine ceremony left a tear in everyone’s eyes, especially Lauren’s.
After the ceremony we headed out to the beautiful tall trees of the Tuart Forest, and the architectural grace of Busselton’s main street. Much fun was had by all.
The reception was held at Wyndham Resort and Spa in Dunsborough, and stunningly decorated by Wez Enterprises and Collie Floral Studio. Vicky really outdid herself this time and we literally gasped as we entered the room.
Thanks for the memories guys, congratulations – we just know you will have a beautiful future together. Can't wait to see what your genes combined will create one day!

Tarnya and Dene's Vat 2 Family Wedding
Second weddings are often small affairs, often overlooked when it comes to Wedding Photography. We disagree with that. ANY wedding is cause for massive celebrations and of course extraordinary photography! Tarnya and Dene held a beautiful intimate ceremony on the beach at Jetty Baths in front of Vat 2. Their bridal party was full of family members, and Tarnya was walked down the aisle by the couple’s 9 year old son. Bridal Party fun was had down by Rocky Point, showcasing the gorgeousness that is Chevrolet Limousines. Back to Vat 2 and cocktail hour was in full swing with family and friends congratulating and partying till late.
Thank you both for sharing your special day with us, was such a lovely family affair. Wishing you both a wonderful life together!

Zoe and Tim's Dardanup Farm Wedding
We love a farm wedding. It's so rustic and cozy, full of casual grace, easy going and relaxed happenings, and perhaps even a herd of cows to check out whats going on. Zoe and Tim’s big day had its share of challenges, with a very soggy forecast, no power where the girls were planning to get ready and a football grand final to contend with, they faced each hurdle with happiness because they were getting married!! Not much else matters in the end really.
The ceremony was held up on a hill in the Ferguson Valley. A gorgeous old property owned by family friends, it was perfect for these farm folk from Nannup. The sun finally came out just at the right time, to shine its happy face upon these two beautiful lovebirds. The ceremony was conducted by the fabulous Lynette Malski
We spent some time exploring the farm, rolling in some hay and dancing in the fields. As evening neared we headed to Zoe’s family farm in Dardanup, and shivered through a glorious sunset.
The reception was held at Dardanup Equestrian Center, a place that is close to everyone in Zoe and Tim’s circle. The fairylights made for a magical setting.
Thank you both for sharing your big day with us, we had such a fun day on the farm – wishing you a beautiful future together.
