As the name suggests this was mainly Fremantle event. Cecelia and Tarrant like things quirky and different so Fremantle was a perfect choice for a wedding.
Anyone choosing to get married here is cool by default. Anyone hiring an Ice cream truck (or to be more precise Ice Pop's Truck) is a trend setter of coolness. At one point 80% of all the guests have been seen in a semi-bent position with an ice pop in a hand. I wasn't quite convinced, at first, about the whole idea so I ate 3.
Read MoreI love photographing wedding because it allows me to document something really important. Everyone opens their door for me, I can go anywhere I want, I get to hear the stories.
It's life condensed...
When it comes to telling stories it's the quality that matters. It's all about taking away untill you can't take away anymore.
Jo and Ollie remind me of Yin and Yang a little - British cool and Greek fire mixed in perfect proportion.
Read MoreThe dangers of falling in love with your landlord. Which is what happened to Anthony and Melita. Anthony being the landlord ;)
St. Columba Church in South Perth is one of my favourites. I always look at things from the photographer's perspective so I really like how bright the inside is (well, as far as churches go :)
There's the view as well. It's pretty cool when you can almost see your venue from the Church across the water. There's something a bit surreal about Lamont's Bishops House. Brick among glass and steel - a little of old Australia in the heart of new. There's nothing surreal about the food there. Simply amazing :)
Read MoreAnother Rottnest Island Wedding.
You know this little white Chapel that looks very Spanish? Isn't it a very cool place to get married?
I didn't even know you can get married there :)
The only downside was a fair number of tourists everywhere. I even had to quietly close the chapel's main door in face of a small crow of random people. I doubt however Jay and Lucy even noticed. They were a bit lost in their own world :)
Read MoreGlenn and Ella came all the way to Fremantle to see what it's like to be focus of my attention :) Ella kind of knew what to expect as she was one of the bridesmaids at the wedding of Nathan and Grace at Caversham House
People are friends with people who are a little like them so I'm expecting another awesome wedding full of awesome people :)
Read MoreThis is Melita and Anthony.
This is what they are like when no one is around :)
They kissed a few hours after they met and then nothing happened for a very long time.
Something did happen eventually and obviously this is the way it was supposed to be.
It's 25 days untill they are getting married, things are starting to feel real :)
Read MoreSomehow, after and hour of talking about things like how they met (on a bus), and who made the first move (Jo) I had my photos. I find it very interesting how little things, insignificant at first, lead to the big ones. If one of them missed the bus...
Read MoreMy last wedding of 2015 turns into my first blog post of 2016. Paul and Christie were quite lucky with their day it was balmy twenty something all day. Perth summer properly kicked in a few days later and we all experienced wedding cake melting forty something degrees :)
Read MoreSo it finally happened. Nathan and Grace got married. I've been waiting for this one wedding for a long time :)
Read MoreBig part of what I do is making people feel comfortable and relaxed waaay before the wedding day. Someone's trust can only be earned and there is only one way to do it :D
Read MoreI havent't lauged so hard during a pre-wedding session in a long time :) This is Paul and Christie enjoying the day in Fremantle.
Read MoreSo it finally happened. Dan and Courtney got married. Time flies when one is busy and happy. It feels like their engagement session in Kings Park happened only a couple of weeks ago.
There's a big difference between photographing a wedding and telling a Weddingstory. Weddings are all a litlle alike. Weddingstory are different every time.
This is Dan, Courtney and their Weddingstory
Read MoreA random encounter on the streets of Freo. This guy asked me for a photo of what he thought was a sword hee found it on a beach. The "sword" on it's own would be a tad boring... I don't know his name but I know he's got kids in France living with his ex-wife... Funny how conversations sometimes go.
Read MoreSometimes the weather is just perfect for a wedding. Amy and Anton had a perfect wedding weather last Saturday. Not too hot, not too cold but just right. Funny how it worked. I gave Amy a call the day before and said it would be perfect if we had some clouds. The next day, behold, we got them :)
Read MoreI really like what Ian said about their relationship: " they have a similar cerebral frequency, intelect meets chemistry and half the time he doesn't need to complete his sentences".
Ian clearly has got a way with words :)
Read MoreStephanie and Dale got married last Saturday. It was one of these days when the weather was constatnly changing. Perfect at 3 pm and horrible 30 minutes later. Ceremony location had to be changed one hour before the official starting time. OnlyStephanie could make a decision like this and make sure everyone knew where to go and what to do...
Read MoreMy plan was to take photos full of character: something that shows their personalities and what are they like when no one is watching. I think we're ready for the wedding :)
Read MoreStephanie and Dale are getting married in a few feeks. It was time to do a cheeky engagement/pre-wedding session. The super woman Stephanie has 3 jobs at the moment - time is precious for these guys. I mean Lord of the Rings precious. I was thinking happy and positive thoughts for two days trying to mentally influence the weather. And it worked, the weather was fine.
Read MoreAmy and Anton's wedding is happening soon. It was time to organize their pre-wedding session. This is my take on those engagemnt/pre wedding sessions: it's the best way to get "camera ready" for the wedding and it benefited every single couple I photographed.
Read MoreMy philosophy is this: if you want photos no one else has, you have to do things no one else does. Getting off the beaten track and just exploring is my favourite ways of doing things.
