Beth and James, 19th December 2008

My last for 2008...and one of the best!

Ceremony and reception - Lake Karrinyup Country Club

Another weekend in Perth! Was a sunny shiny warmish Friday afternoon, perfect for a wedding!! I popped into the Boys for a moment or two, and then off to The Sebel Residence to find it all action stations. Beth was already looking amazing....And very Christmassy with her awesome flowers and RED SHOES!!



We took a few quick shots at one of my favorite spots in East Perth before racing off to Karrinyup. The Wind was our Friend!



I had to pop this one in again, because I love it so much :)





After the ceremony, where Beth had inlisted all her BFF's to be very special Flower Girls - check them out in the slideshow, we jumped in the Limo for a bit of a cruise, and then back to the Country Club to take some photos around the grounds. Its a beautiful Golf Course!





What a Spunky Bridal Party!!!



We may have interrupted a golf game with these ones...but I think its definitely worth it :)







See...Boys can look cool with a bunch of flowers!



I wanted to try this one out when I visited last weekend, I think it turned out pretty cool!



Awesome Cake-topper!



Check out more action in the Slideshow!

(im using alot of exclamation points!!!!!)




James is originally from Canada, and had alot of family travel over for the wedding, so it was lovely to share this very special day with them all. I hope everyone had an awesome time, and enjoyed our Aussie hospitality! I know I had a great time!! I almost didnt want to leave :)

Emma and Michael, 6th December 2008

Such a beautiful sunny happy day!! I had been looking forward to this wedding since I met Emma and Michael at their Engagement portrait, as i thought they were such a lovely lovely couple, so in love, and we had such fun. I knew their wedding would be something special.

Ceremony - St Boniface, Bunbury
Locations - Back Beach, St Marks, Groovy red wall
Transport - Australia's Own FJ Holdens
Flowers - Stems Floral Design (in Perth)
Reception - Sanctuary Golf Resort

I started the day at the Boys house. I do like getting shots of the boys in preparation mode, and if they are close by it makes for a nice start to the day.

We then headed off to Emma's parents house where i found Miss Emma already dressed! We did our regular detail shots (FABULOUS FLOWERS!) and some beautiful portraits and then headed off to the Church.

St Boniface is a beautiful church, so grand! Emma had arranged for everyone to blow bubbles as they walked down the aisle and it looked so fantastic.

We headed off to the beach, the location of Michael's proposal - what a romantic guy!

I said...'can we stop off at this place on the side of the road for a second?' SURE! I love it when my couples trust me to get cool shots, even when the location sounds or looks weird. Believe me, the results are always worth it (experimentation produces innovation)

We ended up at the Tree at St Marks, another favorite stop

The reception setup at the Sanctuary looked amazing! Like something out of Tuscany. All the details were so beautiful.

Thanks so much for a wonderful day. You are both such fantastic people.

Check out the Slideshow for a bit more action!

when it ends you can replay or go though image by image.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I wish you all a Fabulously Merry Christmas...and a safe and happy New Year.

Remember to drive safe and don't drink or eat too much...and leave out cookies and milk for Santa!

I will be offline for a few weeks, for Holiday Time and Moving House Time (Fun...NOT!) So I will be back on the 12th January.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I do belive we have a Winner!!

Congratulations to BEC!!!!!

A definite clear cut winner, thanks mostly to a very wonderful Auntie in the UK who roped all her friends into voting!! Ive never had so many visits from the UK before :)



So Bec receives a 2 hours photo shoot, a online viewing gallery of edited images, and a CD of 5 fully edited images ready for printing! Perfect for when her little bundle of joy arrives :)

Thank you all for entering, and voting, and enjoying the festive spirit! Your all absolutely fabulous people. I cant wait till the next one! Its all very exciting checking my stats each morning to see who has visited and from where.

Lisa and Steven Engagement Portrait

Saturday was kinda strange weather wise! I mean its supposed to be Summer right?? Friday was summery, big blue sky's, about 30ish...nice! Saturday turns up being chilly, windy and RAINY! Weird. Blame it on Global Warming.....

So I met with Lisa and Steve in Kings Park for their engagement shoot! They were another couple I hadn't yet met...they booked me over the Internet too! I love it when my work speaks to people so much they just have to have me...makes me feel so loved :)









Lisa said to me "I hope you got a nice photo of me... Im so unphotogenic" (sligthly adlib'd there...) HELOO??? are you KIDDING???









Totally GORGEOUS!

Beth and James, Engagement Portrait

I only met Beth and James less than a week before their wedding! They booked me over the Internet, as they are currently living in Tasmania...its a bit of a distance to travel to come see me!

I was in Perth already, second shooting a wedding for a friend of mine (his wife is 7 months pregnant..not fun shooting weddings in that state!) so I spent a few hours with Beth and James getting to know them and having a look at their wedding location for the following Friday, Lake Karrynup Country Club (swit swoo!)

We headed off to the beach to have some photos with their babies...2 Dalmatians! Far too cute for their own good I think :)








And of course, we did a few just by themselves...

And just because im so fabulous...and cant keep them waiting toooooo long for a sneeky peak...here is one of my FAVORITES from last Friday....



Cant wait to show you more!
