I met Rosie & Steve in Brentwood by the Swan River foreshore on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago.  Rosie & Steve are getting married next weekend at Darlington Estate and wanted pre-wedding photo session before the wedding.  I ride past here quite often and have always thought it would be nice for a little photo session.  We started at the jetty then went up the Mount Henry Bridge bike path for that view of Perth, then onto a little beach for a few more shots.

I love the leading lines in this image:

I learnt a big lesson at this pre-wedding photoshoot…  If the temperature in Perth is over 40 degrees C, do NOT head to a dog beach after 5pm for a photoshoot.  Every person and his or her dog were at Whitfords Dog Beach on this Sunday afternoon when I met Melissa, Mattie and their 2 babies (didn’t you know, dogs are people too).

One of the reasons for having a pre-wedding shoot is to get all those nerves out the way when in front of the camera.  When there is a-gazillion people staring at you wandering why you are having photos on the beach, there is no way the nerves are going to subside and even I was self conscious with all those people around.

Anyway… Melissa and Mattie are getting married at the end of March on the beach down south and I am looking forward to it!  Especially since Melissa sent me some photos of the beach this week and it looks stunning!  Unfortunately their 2 little Jack Russells will not be attending the wedding so here are some shots of them (and Melissa and Mattie) at the beach.
