Casey wanted bright wedding photo, ones that pop off the page. She was hoping for blue skys but on Saturday it wasn’t looking good for her. I love clouds on a wedding day (sorry brides) as there is no squinting eyes, or harsh shadows across faces. Even as Casey was motoring towards the venue it was spitting, as she walked down the jetty towards Mark, the clouds parted and Casey got her blue skies but there was still enough cloud cover to make me happy too!
I loved the details at this wedding, there were parasols and fans for guests incase it got too hot, the marque was lit by lanterns (I love lanterns!), even the wishing well had some cute photos of what Casey & Mark were wishing for. Casey arrived via the family boat, with her father the Captain ensuring she arrived on time and dry! The Mounts Bay Sailing Club provided the perfect location for the outdoor wedding with a beautiful view of the Swan River and Perth city. After the ceremony guests were able to mingle on the grass eating the wonderful food that was served up and playing the giant jenga and connect four games while the bridal party and family had some photos.
Casey & Mark had a wedding to have a big party and not to be away from their guests for hours having photos, so we had a few shots on the beach and at the jetty then they went back to join in the fun while the sun went down producing a spectacular Perth sunset (we managed to convince Mark to have another few minutes of photos). The main course arrived via Nunzio’s Mobile Pizza to satisfy the hungry hoards of guests and there were a lot of (very yummy-I managed to sneak a slice, I may have discovered the reason I gain weight during wedding season) slices going around. When I left after the speeches and first dance, everyone was dancing the night away with the twinkling lights of the city in the background.
It was an amazing wedding and the evening ran very smoothly thanks to Michelle from Weddings by Michelle. Casey planned most of the details, but hired Michelle to take control of the planning for the day, the set up and making everything perfect with the “I do” package.
Casey’s arrival:
Heading down to the beach for the “location” shots!
Casey looked gorgeous and so happy all day!
And look, we got some beautiful blue sky!
Heading to the jetty the clouds came over again and the light started to fade…
The bridal party and the classic “boy” shot. Tough, very tough…
The time difference between these two shots is around an hour… Look at how the sky changed! And the pink another reason why I like clouds, something to do with refraction of light with moisture as the sun goes down…
More pink light! So pretty!
Ok. I couldn’t figure out my favourite 2 from these 4 images. So I put them all in! Sorry if you have a slow internet browser 
Some of the details of the wedding
Now on to giant Jenga! This is so cool but made a racket when it came tumbling down!
The pizza mobile - such a great idea at a cocktail wedding to ensure guests are well fed (and the alcohol can be soaked up…)
The cupcakes looked SOOOO yummy! They were from the Cake Factory.
And the first dance with the sparkly lights of Perth…
Casey & Mark I hope you had an amazing night and an even better time on your honeymoon! See you when you get back!!

I think this is my favourite shot of the session! Jonathan looks so peaceful on Chris’s shoulder….
See look! Jonathan is crawling towards me!
and brought the date forward by 8 months! After a few telephone calls rearranging dates with the reception venue, they chose Joondalup Resort for their venue to hold the ceremony and reception.
