Pre-weddings in Autumn are one of my favourite times of the year. In Perth you get the most temperate weather, cool mornings and warm afternoons. Especially if you come later in the season (May/June) you get lush green countryside and golden leaves. Come at the right time and we can also take you for our signature star photos!

Phil & Trinh were married at Burswood on Swan and this wedding was one of my favourites of the year. However, as much as everyone enjoyed themselves on the day there was this pang of bittersweetness felt by us all. Their big day was planned, paid up and booked for 2018. We were all geared up for it, discussing shoot locations when about a week before the day we were informed that there was a sudden loss in the family. The day needed to be postponed….

It was so great to see all the vendors and venue ready to accommodate and support Phil and Trinh. It makes me proud of the professionalism and compassion in the WA wedding industry. So eventually all the stars aligned, a date was worked out and here we are. This is just a small collection of some favourite images of the day.

Brookleigh Estate has undergone major changes over the last two years with new ownership and a commitment to creating one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Swan Valley. They’ve renovated the small area beside the lake to create the Lakeside Terrace for intimate weddings just like this one. Keith & Kristie’s wedding was our first time shooting a reception on the Terrace and here is a little peek at some of our favourite images from the day. In 2018 we added the best videographers to our team and we took care of everything for their big day. Scroll down to the end to watch the day’s highlights.

Gus and Gek travelled to Perth from Singapore especially to shoot their pre-wedding in the Lancelin Sand Dunes. They’re about 1 hour 45 mins drive north of Perth and we’ve been travelling to shoot our couples in Lancelin since 2013. It’s a friendly coastal town and the locals are warm and welcoming so if you haven’t been, I suggest you check it out!
Lancelin has a reputation…

Lancelin has a reputation as a great place for sand boarding and 4WD fun. Many thousands of tourists world-wide travel there to hire a board and surf down the fine white sand or get into one of the dune buggys. As far as Lancelin pre-wedding shoots go, it started when a couple sent me a photo of a white sandy desert and asked:
“Can we shoot in the Australian desert?”
I don’t think they quite realised what the Australian desert really looks like. We do have dunes, but the sand is a deep red and the temperatures are scorching. Not to mention we have killer snakes and prickly spinifex grass. The photo they sent me was actually taken at the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, USA. So the best alternative I could offer was a visit to Lancelin and it started a love affair with that place that has allowed me to win multiple Fearless Awards and Grand Prize runner up in the 2018 International Wedding Photographer Of The Year Awards.
Gek is a professional model and normally we’re specialists at making everyday people look amazing. In this case it felt like cheating as I was learning things from her by observing the way she contorts her body and plays it up for the camera. In our pine forest shoot she was adorned in a gown by Berta Bridal worth $15,000 and I was sending her back and forth through the scrub! She challenged me to see if I could give her dunes, forests and Stars all in one day. Mission accomplished!
Here are some favourites from their day.

Tam and Curt’s big day was our first Aravina Estate Wedding down in Yallingup. Yallingup is a small coastal tourist town about 30mins North of Margaret River’s central township and it was a major highlight of 2018 for us. We’ve shot at numerous wedding venues in the Southwest but I’d have to say that Aravina Estate is one of the very best. They have the best natural backdrop with the vines in the distance visible from the wedding arbour. The food is also incredible so all the guests were delighted…

Their wedding was years in the making as I first met Tam and Curt 6 years ago at one of my earliest weddings. I photographed Tam’s older sister Natasha’s wedding in the beginning of 2013. That was back in the early days when were were trying to establish ourselves in the local wedding scene. It’s one of my most memorable weddings and the whole family has become near and dear to me. Tam was a bridesmaid back then. She and Curt were together even then and they danced like nobody was watching (I have proof!)
Not much has changed as you’re going to see but Oh how far we’ve come! Their relationship blossomed and we’ve moved up many many notches on the photography belt so I can’t wait to show you this entry!
You can’t have asked for a better setting than what we have in the Southwest. That amazing cliff-lined coast never gets old. Normally we’re trying to hide the outdoors when shooting inside but here, we’re letting in as much as possible!
