L+K - Sandalford Winery wedding

SANDALFORD WINERY WEDDING IN THE SWAN VALLEY, PERTH.

This Sandalford wedding in the swan valley was such a dream to photograph! It was forecast to rain all day but true to Perth weather it was sunny from the ceremony until reception! We were seriously counting our blessings. A wedding like this couldn’t be possible without the wonderful vendors who are so good at what they do, Katie Cooper made every inch of this wedding extravagantly beautiful with her florals everywhere, Noda luxury events, Heart string hire, Edison event lighting stylists al made this reception one to remember.

These guys got through lockdowns and restrictions just weeks before the wedding date with a smile on their face, and then finally on the day so glad to have made it to the date when they could get married and start their lives together as husband and wife.

Wild and free, Family portrait session!

This little one had the most hilarious personality and I’m so glad we were able to photograph her craziness! Sometimes mum’s say to me “Im so sorry” or “good luck” but there is actually nothing I love more than letting kids be kids and seeing their personalities shine through. Whether they’re boisterous or shy, loud or soft spoken, there is so much beauty in the crazy and fun and also in the soft cuddles. That is why choosing a location when kids can just be kids is so important like this Perth field, perfect to and be loud and free.

My biggest tip’s for your family photography sessions are:

If youre worried about grumpy bubs at sunset, make sure they have an early nap!

Make sure bellies are full!

Let them run and have fun, normally life isn’t on their terms but for this session it can be.

So lets relax and enjoy an afternoon together as we bottle up life as you know it, these images will help you remember these precious moments for many years to come!

SARAH AND JARRAD’S COAST PORT BEACH WEDDING

Laughs, champagne and good vibes was the theme for this beautiful wedding was located at the Coast Port beach restaurant in Fremantle, Perth with a beautiful view right onto the ocean.

Sarah and Jarrad are a super relaxed couple and wanted the very best day full of laughs, champagne and good vibes and they wanted their photography from the day to capture that same energy. I say this all the time and ill keep saying it- the only way to achieve the candid good vibes is to have fun, relax, enjoy being together, soak in all the love from your friends and family and let me photograph that!

Sarah looked incredible on the day, her beautiful gown was from Luv bridal, her hair was HC Artisty and makeup was: Koko Blaq who specialise in the incredible glamour waves the girls are all showcasing.

This was the most wonderful, relaxed, good vibed wedding to be be able to photograph.

Without incredible vendors you love and trust 100%, your wedding day wouldn’t go ahead, these amazing people are how it all happens-

Capturing the pregnancy journey | Perth Maternity Photography

Authentic, happy and just all round great people to be around, I am so lucky to have photographed this small part of Imogen and Brandon’s pregnancy journey. They are so full of joy for this next season but it would be amiss not to mention that these guys are some of the most resilient and grateful people I know, having gone through the unthinkable. Immy shares openly on her instagram about the loss of her first little baby boy Asher and their journey through this grief whilst navigating this new joy hand in hand. These guys are just incredible and it is so worth following their journey on @immi_walker_

The pregnancy/ motherhood journey is one of my favourite things to photograph because it highlights the pain, struggle, resilience and through it all- the beauty of motherhood and womanhood, and all it entails. These will be days we look back on, remembering how hard some parts were but also the beautiful joy that comes through it all. Im so honoured to be able to capture this.

Kate, 40 weeks and ready to burst!

Nine out of ten of my lovely clients tell me “Im terrible at having my photo taken”, and Im right there with you! You would think that us photographers would have it down pat but we still get those photo jitters just as much as you guys I promise.

So how do you get over those pre-photoshoot jitters?

1. Wear something that makes your feel confident

2. Stop thinking and just relax! Ill get the best photos when your enjoying yourself, the sun and your loves!

3. Choose a location that means something to you! Do you love to hike, the beach or have picnic's and drink coffee at Hyden park? Lets go somewhere you enjoy and I guarantee your images will hold even more meaning!

Make sure you scroll all the way through for the most glorious bump photos. What a magical winter bright sunny afternoon in the Perth hills, it was so worth the small hike it took us to get to this little slice of heaven!
