Sneak peek from Mosman Park {wedding}

Exquisite wedding in Perth a few weekends ago.  Just starting to work on this one but this one caught my eye. Can't wait to share more...

This picture is one I caught "between shots" when doing a corporate portrait shoot at UWA last weekend.

Danah + Tim, 1 January 2011 {wedding}

Photos & Slideshow

I got the call from Tim last year. 

He was excited.  They had set the date, and it was 1.1.11.  

And I promised him the weather would be a balmy 32 degrees with a gentle sea breeze.  He wanted a guarantee or his money back.   Well, it was closer to 40 degrees.  But this couple were as cool as cucumbers!

Danah & the girls spent the day in the sanctuary of the Sheraton (which changed its name that day, just like Danah!)

 

The boys slipped in a few cooling ales by the river at the Left Bank  - they were so relaxed that they left without the corsage below. (Is there a more blokey name for "corsage"?  I must find out).  Some ingenious family member managed to find a rose bush near the church ,along with a pin to attach - the Bride was none-the-wiser until after the Ceremony.  Phew - close call!

The bagpiper played "Auld Lang Syne" to mark the beginning of the year -and the beginning of Danah + Tim's married life.

Perth's St Mary's Cathedral is simply serene since its renovations - light streamed in (a photographer's dream) while the thick walls & high ceilings were better than any air-conditioner.  And Danah seemed to float in from the warm outside haze.  Tim was waiting.

Our photo location, right on the river at Mosman Park provided another escape from the heat - and from reality - it was like stepping into the set of "Casablanca".  

And Danah slipped into the role played by Ingrid Bergman without any coaxing! I've never seen such a smitten Groom!

Then off to Matilda Bay for another view of the City across the water, just as the sun was setting.

A wave for the wedding guests back at the restaurant...

 Danah's attention to detail was quite something - tiny cut crystal vases were scatted throughout the venue - different flowers in each - I can't imagine the hours of planning that were involved.  And you gotta love that cake!

A truly stunning location for a wedding.  The prefect ending to a perfect day.  Thank you Danah + Tim - it may have been a bit warm for this southern gal, but I enjoyed every minute. Thank to Ben Reynolds again for assisting.

Morocco in Mosman Park...

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to have access to a magnificent family home to use as the backdrop for Tim + Danah's New Years day wedding.  

Mrs Wenn is a very talented interior designer  - I was in awe of her style - sooo eclectic & original.   I'd like to thank the Wenns for their generosity + hospitality with a montage of some of their home along with their beautiful grandaughter.

I can't wait to show you some more of this stunning wedding!

Sneak Peek from New Years Day...

I can't help myself from smiling along with this bride - she was loving every minute of her big day.  Can you tell?

Kym + Laurent, 20 November 2010 {wedding}

Photos & Slide Show

 

Laurent is a Frenchman, and many of the wedding guests, including his groomsman-brother and flower girl-niece, had travelled from Europe for Kym + Laurent's marriage.    And what an afternoon Perth put on for them on the banks of the still-as-still Swan at Matilda Bay.

The day before, the temperature had reached a blistering 39 degrees., and we were all  a little nervous.  Kym was 6 months pregnant so we were all praying for a cool change.  Well, our prayers were answered,  so we had to switch our prayers to a request for a no rain... and we were blessed.

It was a stunning afternoon for this tres chic couple.  I loved the simplicity of this wedding - no fuss, no fluff - so elegant!  It must be a French thing... 

 Kym + Laurent - thank you for inviting me to record your wedding - and good luck with your little family!
