Suraya and Greg were married on a beautiful September day, the 10th to be exact, at the picturesque Cottesloe Civic Centre followed by a scrumptious High Tea held in the aptly named Jarrah Hall. Their reception was held at the fabulous Fraser Restaurant in Kings Park. The ceremony was a lovely affair, with vows that included the brides love of shopping (and promise to not torture the groom to much with this) and the grooms love of boating
(and promise to not…am…over indulge this pleasure!). Such a stunning and gorgeous couple, we here at FWP wish them all the best!
Some wonderful pics from Kimberely and Tims Wedding, a beautiful day and a beautiful couple!
Suzie and Matt, married at St. Patrick’s Basilica and Reception at the Red Herring, Fremantle. A Gorgeous Bride groom who had a fantastic and fun wedding.
Breezy, wonderful Geraldton provided the perfect laid back and fun background for this lovely couple’s wedding. Married overlooking the shore and a reception in an olive grove provided us with some gorgeous romantic scenery for their pics!
What does a horse, The Darkness and Pulp Fiction have in common? They were all featured in Mark and Clare’s wedding!
From the moment we met Clare and Mark we knew that their wedding was going to be original, fun and funky. They’re just that awesome. You can expect nothing else when the groom proposed to the bride by writing “Mary me Clare!” on the side of a horse.
The bride, bridesmaid and best woman (hey, there was only room for one ‘best man’ and Mark was him) entered the gorgeous St Hilda’s Chapel in vintage inspired gowns and hair that redefined the term bouffant (Elvira had nothing on the bridesmaid). The couple exited to an acoustic rendition of ‘I believe in a thing called love’ by The Darkness and then started photos on the school grounds, eager to show of their new ‘powerful’ rings (although Captain Planet failed to make an appearance…again, probably because their pure awesomeness was just too intimidating for our green haired hero) before proceeding to the streets of Fremantle. Entering the Moore Street Building for their reception, they began dancing the night away by doing a skilful reenactment of the dance from Pulp Fiction.
It was definitely a blast and we were thrilled to be a part of it!
Clare and Mark are a fantastic fun couple who are getting married this weekend in what is sure to be a very fun and entertaining ceremony and reception. If these pics are anythign to go by their wedding is going to be a hoot!
Michelle and Joel were married on Friday 24th September, with photos at Cottesloe Civic Centre and reception (and some more pics) at Bridgeleigh Reception Centre. The gorgeous couple were blessed with a fantastic warm September day. With weather this good, and a couple so clearly very much in love, we couldn’t fail to get fantastic dreamy shots, even the wildflowers were in full bloom for them! Don’t these two look magical?
Even in the rain these two look fab together! It may have rained on their day but they shone just as brightly as if it had been sunny all the time.
Hi, just a quick post to show you all some of the great pics we got of Jess and Jonathan at their pre-wedding. All shot at the Belvoir Reception Centre in the Valley.
Well, autumn is in full swing and winter is almost upon us and while weddings are less frequent, they have far from stopped. If you are planning a winter or autumn wedding here are some helpful words and tips to make your day as comfortable and enjoyable as ever.
Location and Props
With the increased chance of inclement weather its a good idea to choose a photo location that offers some protection from rain. Usually good locations for this have buildings or verandas that can be utilised to take some great effective and beautiful shots while keeping you dry and giving you some protection from the wind. Ask your photographer for some suggestions, they usually have a few ideas.
Also, get yourself some pretty umbrellas, they can make great props while also being very useful in keeping you dry.
Dress
Most wedding dresses are high on the pretty factor and low on the warmth factor. This is great in summer, but not so wonderful in winter or autumn. Its really hard to photograph someone who is freezing and eventually you just have to give up and let everyone seek warmth. One of the pleasures of winter is the ability to have pretty boleros, coats or fur stoles added to your bridal outfit to give you warmth. They look gorgeous and elegant in photos, and really, how many opportunities for a bridal jacket are you going to get? Seize the opportunity if you can!
Timing
The days are shorter, and currently the sun is setting at about 5:50. So with early sunsets its worth scheduling your ceremony earlier in the day to allow for enough time for photos. I would recommend around 3:00 at the latest, and preferably closer to 2:00pm. This will allow for time for your on-location shoot without rushing (hopefully). It will also, allow you take up the warmest part of the day before it starts to quickly cool.
Autumn ad winter can be a challenge for a wedding, but with careful planning you can have the wedding you always dreamed of!
