The Wedding day of Ben & Laura is almost here

The Wedding day is almost here, only a day waits for this lovely couple. A few months back we did and engagement shoot for Ben & Laura, and tomorrow is their big day. Time has quickly come around for them to begin their eternal journey together, to start their new life as husband and wife. And I get to be there to witness all the amazing and special details that they have put together over the past few months in preparation for the wedding day.

Even though their pre wedding shoot was the first time I had photographed them together ( not that you can tell, they really are professionals and were so relaxed and easy to work with) we have crossed paths on the photography scene before. Laura, the bride in waiting and her creative sister form a talented duo of designers and party planners and operate a growing little business

Mothers day photography voucher – Mother’s day competition

We have decided that this Mothers day, we would run a competition so that some lucky people can win a photography voucher. As a Professional Photographer in Perth, I witness many wonderful moments and unforgettable memories. The love between a mother and her child, be it teenager or baby, is one of the most warming and lovely things I get to experience in my job. In this Mothers’s day competition You will need to select you favourite mothers day image. The image that typifies motherhood. The most natural picture of a mother interacting with her daughter or son.

Engagement Portrait or family Portrait:

A family portrait and an engagement portrait in the same session. That’s right, the lovely couple preparing for their upcoming wedding, had us out with them on a lovely morning to get some pre wedding photographs or an engagement portrait.

engagement portrait & family portrait

The cool bit was having them bring their beautiful baby twins for the portrait session. Call it a engagement portrait or a family portrait, either way it was fantastic.

Bobby & Tash are getting married later this year and I am lucky enough to be given the job of being their photographer on their wedding day.

Beach Portraits

Beach Portraits in the school holidays:

School holidays is a fantastic time to catch up with your family and spend some time together. For me school holidays is an extremely busy time. Kids and parents are often on holiday together and many families take the opportunity to get some family portraits done. For sister Kim and Samantha, this was an ideal time to catch up with each other and have there precious daughters spend some time together. Samantha was on a break from Melbourne and arranged with her sister to get some prints for their parent Christmas gift – we have such thoughtful clients. We decided on a session at the iconic Cottesloe beach, a favourite for Beach portraits

The afternoon session was planned with the light in mind. This is a crucial part of being a photographer and choosing to shoot on location portraits without a full entourage of lighting assistants. The best way to prepare for a Beach portraits session is to get the timing right. Because there is no shade and only the clouds (not that there is any in Perth) provide some relief from the burning sun.

AFL Grandfinal

This year I was lucky enough to go to the AFL Grandfinal in Melbourne to see my friend and former basketball teammate Lewis Jetta, play in a winning Grand-final with the Sydney Swans against Hawthorn. I went across with my brother and also met up with a host of mates from Perth including WAAFL super star and human 6 pack Graham Jetta. The game itself was amazing, a 4 quarter dual, that could of gone either way several times. But just as impressive was the entire weekend. I had the opportunity to hang out with a very good friend I hadn’t seen for a while, and we had a ball. Plus I got to see the sights with host of other buddy’s. The AFL parade was unreal and although it was constantly raining, it was still such an amazing experience to witness. I often Photograph sporting events, but this weekend I was able to put the camera down for time and just enjoy watching a good old crack of football. The pictures I did take were more so documenting the things we got up to, and one of the highlights of the weekend was hanging out with Lewis and his family the day before the game. He was given some down time or leave from the playing group to hang out with his family, and we ended up chilling out in Timezone. it was great fun and an amazing experience on how families just enjoy themselves together, even with the hype of the biggest game of football om Australia just around the corner.Here is a snapshot of the fast running wingman in the AFL game today enjoying some special moments with his family.

I hope you enjoy.

Corey & Kiri-Lee… The first look of the Wedding day.

The first look of the Wedding day.

Here is the first look at the Beautiful Wedding of Corey & Kiri-lee. They were Married on a warm Sunny day in October, which is a beautiful month to be married. Its a perfect day right in the middle of Wedding season, plus there is a good chance that you will have nice (not too hot) weather and only a slight chance of rain. This lovely couple were sealed in a private sacred ceremony at the LDS Temple in Dianella. Later they had a Ring ceremony at their reception centre, Burswood on the Swan as the magnificent Sun set over the river and city sky-scrape.

This first preview of images shares some of the beautiful moments they shared with family and friends on the Wedding day. Photographs were taken at Hyde Park, Matilda bay, the iconic Boat shed in Crawley and the back at the Burswood waterfront.

Following the beautiful ceremony and the lovely afternoon of Photographs, the couple sat together sharing many wonderful memories with the family and friends. They cut their stunning Wedding cake and had their Bridal dance to Spend my Life with you by Eric Benet and Tamia. What wedding can be complete without a lolley buffet, and this one was to die for. I must admit I tucked into a few treats myself.
