O+C | Matilda bay Restaurant Wedding

Matilda Bay, Perth WA

What a beautiful wedding day to be apart of!! Olivia and Chad’s first wedding was cancelled due to covid, the said their vowels in an intimate ceremony with just a few of their dearest during lockdown and saved the party for later on in the year. Their ceremony was held on the water at Matilda bay, their reception was inside the beautiful clear marquee at Matilda bay restaurant along Perths swan river. Olivia shared that she chose her dress based on the veil from Tuscany bridal. Their florals were all white by the amazing Violet lane tying perfectly with the beautiful river and Perth city in the background.

Olivia shared- “Amelia, Wow wow wow wow!!!! Thank you SOOOOO much for our absolutely amazing wedding photos. You captured the day so perfectly and we are so grateful that we now have these beautiful photos to re live our special day by. I can’t explain how much we love them!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are so talented and I am SOOO happy with how each one turned out. We have had many of our close friends who have unfortunately had bad experiences with their wedding photographers in the last two years so we really feel blessed to have had someone so trustworthy and kind as you. Thank you again.”

K+G | Yoothamurra homestead wedding

YOOTHAMURRA HOMESTEAD WEDDING

Kahlee and Geordie met in a Fremantle bar years ago and the rest was history. Their wedding was such a fun and relaxed day and reflected them and their personalities so perfectly, Tp and co and Heart strings hire and style created beautiful boho vibes with their furniture and was complimented perfectly by the stunning florals from Floral Army! Kahlee and Geordie’s wedding was held on the grounds at Yoothamurra homestead in Perths south, this venue is a stunning farm that feels miles away while only being about a 30 min drive from Perth, with beautiful fields, gardens and an olive grove, its the best of both worlds. Kahlee’s boho gown was from Sydney designer Spell bridal and suited the days vibes so perfectly!

Ive said this before but ill say it again, choosing vendors you love but also trust is the greatest key to having a stress free and fun day and these vendors were just that- trust worthy and so great at what they do!

M+O | Swan valley Summer wedding

Michael and Olivia were married on a perfect sunny summer afternoon in the Perth Swan Valley, their wedding day was perfectly stress free and full of fun, after being apart of 100+ weddings, I feel like I have witnessed it all. Let me be honest in telling: my clients are amazing. They are the best of the best, I feel fortunate to know these people. In working with the best, I need to be the best. So how do you do that? Well, it’s all about guiding my couples through the complicated/stressful/crazy process of planning the biggest, most important day of your life. No biggie, right? Wrong.

So, let’s talk through four tips to help create a stress free wedding day?

1.) BE STRATEGIC WITH YOUR SCHEDULE:

Your ceremony time will direct how the day will lead. If it’s easy, great, you can do your photos in between that and cocktail hour, if you’re ceremony flows into your cocktails, well, you should probably consider a first look. Work with your photographer, find out how long they need for certain things, schedule in travel time, and add a little cushion!

2.) COMMUNICATE YOUR SCHEDULE CLEARLY:

Need your grandma to the church early? Want your wedding party to hang around after the ceremony? Need your college buddies ready for a shot during cocktail hour? Tell them! Make sure you communicate the schedule clearly and that everyone who needs it has it. Be an over-communicator, it will seriously pay off!

3.) MAKE SURE THERE’S TIME TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR RECEPTION DETAILS:

I urge my couples to do first looks for multiple reasons. First, it gives you the chance to soak it in, embrace, and experience the emotions without hundreds of pairs of eyes on you. It also gives me the chance to sneak into your reception during cocktail hour and photograph all of the hard work you’ve done!

4.) TAKE MOMENTS TO JUST BE PRESENT:

I know, everyone says it! The day flys by, so intentionally stop and, take a moment, hold each others hands and remember the moment. Wedding days are amazing and so much fun but they are here and gone in the blink of an eye.

It’s important to set yourself up for success and to ease any stress ahead of time!

Sophie and Wesley's Perth beach engagement

These guys could be more perfectly in love and having fun at one of my favourite Perth beaches. Sophie is the founder of Sceenry magazine, renown for its beautiful travel imagery so it makes a lot of sense that they met travelling abroad. These guys get hitched next month, what a day thats going to be!

The greens | Perth beach family photo session

I loved photographing this beautiful family a few weeks ago, Perth beaches are some of my favourite locations to photograph because there is so much to do for the kids and so many opportunities to capture candid moments. Stacey shared “My absolute favourite gifts are photos, I am beyond in love with how Amelia captured our little clan, even when both kids were such hard work! I will treasure them forever!”
