Mark and Kate were married at Chapel Farm in Swan Valley. It’s no secret that this is a favourite venue for me in the valley. I’m not often booked to shoot rustic-type weddings and of all the venues in Perth, I’d say Chapel Farm fits that rustic charm just perfectly. So my modern moment-driven style doesn’t often meet rustic venues but for some reason I get booked to shoot here over and over. Hey I love it so keep them coming!

Mark and Kate are from the UK and many of their guests came all the way to Australia to see them get hitched. Their wedding was about as Australian as it gets. We were threatened by rain all morning but when it came time for the ceremony and photos we were gifted with an incredible sunset.
If you’re a bride and you’ve come to this page by searching “Chapel Farm Wedding” then here’s something for you. Belinda who manages the functions runs a seamless venue so you’ll love her. I don’t usually get to know any of the culinary team at any venue but Chapel Farm is an exception. Amy (head chef) has really upped the game and I’ve heard many compliments on the food from all my couples since she’s come back and taken control of the kitchen. If your gut (pardon the pun) is telling you to book this venue, you really should. You’ll love it.
There are two more vendors I wanted to mention… The ceremony was conducted by a friend of mine, Dilhari Gustavino from Kiss Me You Fool. When you look through our photos you’ll notice how much fun Mark and Kate are having during the ceremony. That’s all to Dilhari’s credit. Ceremonies can be pretty run-of-the-mill and I’m noticing a new breed of celebrant, people like Dilhari that are modernising ceremonies. She transforms what was traditionally boring into something fun, making everyone (even herself) laugh out loud!
Finally something has to be said of the wedding singer Joe Boshell. This was my first time meeting Joe and we always hope the entertainer/DJ can do a good job because the craziness of our dance floor photos rests on their shoulders. Usually with a one-man band you wonder if they can hold the floor and Joe killed it. Not only were Mark and Kate’s guests dancing the night away, his vocal abilities and musicianship really stood out (and we see a LOT of wedding singers!).
Here is a collection of our favourite images from the day.
