Vanessa and Mike really were an inspiration, moving house, switching country and planning an overseas wedding all at the same time. That's more changes at once than some people make in a lifetime. Richard and I were also pleased to know that we were a surprise Birthday present for Mike. Luckily Mike likes suprises!

Vanessa and Mike's big day started out in Cottesloe, where we photographed the girls getting ready upstairs whilst the guys stayed downstairs. The rain stopped just in time for us to leave in the limo, and held off all day until the very end of the reception. Considering how stormy the last few days have been, we were very lucky!

The ceremony and reception were at Perugino Restaurant in West Perth which is a lovely restaurant. And great food! We went to Kings Park for the bridal party portraits, with the view of Perth in the backgoround.

Thanks Vanessa, Mike, Kane, Jakeb, Geoffrey, Isabella and  Paris for a fantastic day. I know Vanessa you are keen to see the photos so here's a sneak preview. We hope you guys are having a great honeymoon over east!

Richard and I once again had the pleasure of photographing the amazing kids at Perth Children's Theatre last week as they worked on their production of the Wonderful World of Walt.  From their portfolio photos on day 1, to the final performance at UWA Octagon Theatre 6 days later, we were amazed at extremely professional performance from the cast of 5-14 year olds. Compliments to Trevor, Lou, David and everyone who was part of the production. Thanks for a great show on Saturday!

To view the portraits, rehearsal photos, and final performance photos, please view our Wonderful Worlrd of Walt Gallery here.  You can order your photos via the shopping cart or contact us via email to arrange an alternative payment method.

We recently had the pleasure to do a bridal gown photo shoot for  Acaro Couture in front of the beautiful Perth skyline.  Their dresses are designed and created by Angelina, check out their website for more of her one-off designer creations.

This dress was modelled by Ashley Radalj, make up by Ali Price. Stay tuned, we will be photographing more of the designer range in the coming months.

It was a night of glamour last night at the Astral Ballroom at Burswood for the Landscape Industries Association of WA Awards of Excellence (click link to view gallery) with over 250 people attending. The hosts were Josh Byrne and Chairman Tim Richards from Amazon Soils. The entertainment was by Martin Cuthbert’s band The Subdividers. The atmosphere was high energy, and everyone looked stunning!

Last weekend Richard and I actually had no photography bookings for the whole weekend. So seising the opportunity we decided to take Richards friend Katie who was visiting Perth  from the USA down south to Margaret River, Pemberton and the Stirling Ranges near Albany.

Now we were unaware, but Katie is super-fit! Which left us a little worn out as we drove over 1500km in the 3 days, visit the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, Cheese tasting, have lunch at Leeuwin Estate, plus managed to climb  two trees (the Glouster Tree and Dave Evan Bicentennial Tree- yes I made it the 75m up to the top!) and two mountains (Bluff Knoll and Mt Trio). Ok, I know they barely scrape in to be classified as mountains, but after climbing two in one day I think that equals a normal 'mountain' anywhere else in the world.  We did not take as many photos as we normally would have, as we struggled to keep up Katie's fast pace whilst carrying our camera gear (ok we do have to thank her for helping us out carrying camera gear up Bluff Knoll) but we really did need to weight her down to stop her sprinting up the mountain.

Overall a very fun weekend, and definitely an itinerary I would recommend for anyone wanting to showcase WA to visiting friend or relative in just a few days.
