Paulette and Steve, 26th January 2008

Happy Australia Day!!

Paulette and Steve we married around the corner from their house in Kingston Estate, Australind, and literally walked to their ceremony! It wasn't a cool day...but the Akuberas kept the sun off the boys heads.

Ceremony : Austalind
Reception : The Goose, Busselton
Transport : FJ Holdens
Locations : Old house in Meadow Landing, Amelia Park Horse Stud and Busselton Beachfront

The chose to release butterflies after their ceremony and it was a beautiful sight.

aww! Butterflies are one of my favorite creatures, so majestic and serene, they really have a a very special quality about them.


We popped into the Old House in Austalind, that we may not be able to use much longer as the land is being sold :( oh dear :( anyone got a spare Million lying about to buy it for us?


Amelia Park Horse Stud in Vasse was chosen especially for their photos because of Steve and Paulette's affiliation with Horses. They have an amazing property in Kingston Estate with horse in their backyard! Lucky them...

The horses were remarkably affectionate, even for a scardy cat like me...

The Trusty Busselton foreshore.... its always beautiful! We decided to stick around the little jetty today, rather than head up towards the more iconic Jetty. It was quite a windy day which always makes veils go woooooosh which is a great thing for a photoshoot. It also made Stevie's Hat go woooosh too! my assistant (and future husband) John rushed into the water to fetch it. Only afterwards he realised he still had my wide angle lens, all the day's cards and my flash in his pockets... grounds for divorce perhaps??


The Goose is one of my favorite reception places. It always looks amazing, the view is to die for, and as we were lucky enough to eat there a few weeks ago I can also vouch that the food is AMAZING!!! Go the Salmon with Asparagus. ooooooh yummie

Cindy and Mark, Pre-Wedding Portrait

The best thing about holding a pre-wedding portrait is it helps to make people more comfortable with the camera, with me, and dispelling the rumour that having your photo taken is quite scary and unnatural. I totally get that because i HATE having my photo taken, so I like to make it as easy as possible. I try and get people to have a laugh, either at each other, at my lovely assistant John...and if all else fails...at me. I'm a pretty laughable human being at times!!

Cindy and Mark are totally adorable. They are so obviously in love and its very sweet to see. Their wedding is being held up in Perth on a Friday in November. They came all the way down to Bunbury for their shoot! I'm most impressed at their dedication to my art :D

The only bad thing about this portrait shoot is we all go eaten alive my mozzies!! I need to pack some aeroguard into my backpack.....

Kyah and Chris, Pre Wedding Portrait

Ahhhh, Young Love... such a wonderful thing! Kyah and Chris planned their wedding in only 3 months (well done!!) and had their pre wedding portrait only 2 weeks before their wedding.

Kyah and Chris showed me this amazing old run down shack on a property in Australind, close to Bunbury. Its totally amazing and we will be doing some fabulous images for their wedding next weekend.
