I feel like I talk about wedding weather alot, but this wedding was in 38 degree heat which had me melting and I’m sure that my face was a lovely shade of bright red throughout the afternoon.  Jess and Kurt, used to Karratha’s heat, looked fresh all afternoon.  Good thing I am the one behind the camera…

The ceremony was so pretty, at Quarantine Park in Bicton.  Although I have been here so many times (because this is the hood I grew up in, sorry, people that grew up spending summers swimming at Bicton Baths shouldn’t say hood…) I have never photographed a wedding here and it is so beautiful!  I loved how I could use the leaves to frame the ceremony photos, and the colours were so golden.  After the ceremony we ventured to Fremantle (YAY!!!) for some photos at the Round House, Cliff Street and the E-Shed markets.  I got to ride up front in the limo which was a VERY cool 1929 dodge stretched limo hired from Thirties Limosines.  We had time for a few photos back at Bicton Baths before Jess & Kurt entered the reception at the East Fremantle Yacht Club.

I always thought that the Round House was built by convicts, I am pretty sure that was taught to me in Primary School but I found out LAST WEEK it was built 20 years before convicts arrived in Fremantle!  Has nothing to do with the wedding, but I was shocked that I had believed a lie all these years (and maybe spread the lie to unsuspecting tourist friends who have visited me in Fremantle) and never bothered to read that little black plaque on the wall that is in many of my wedding and portrait photos that I take here…

I think that the limo really suited this location, it does have a little bit of a bonnie & clyde feel to it!   You can imagine a heist going down in the warehouse… well I can anyway!

My first time at Fremantle Maritime Museum (well using it as a wedding location)

Best thing about having black and white as your theme colours for a wedding?  Gorgeous black heels that you can wear again!  How cool does Jess’s tattoo look?!

A quick bridal party portrait before heading back to East Fremantle.

I hope you had an amazing time at your reception, Jess & Kurt, and enjoyed your honeymoon down south!

Nikki & Shaun were married at Chidley Point Reserve in  Mosman Park and had their reception at Freshwater Bay Yacht Club down the road.  I loved all the detail at this wedding, the lanterns (I love photographing lanterns at weddings), umbrellas, the thongs on the groom & groomsmen, the gorgeous bridesmaid dresses and of course Nikki’s fabulous dress!

I had Dale’s help as my second photographer for this wedding and am so grateful he gave up a day shooting the surf to help me shoot this wedding!  He got some great shots for Nikki & Shaun.  If you want a lot of candid images of your wedding, a second photographer is the way to go as they cruise around the wedding pretty unnoticed, grabbing shots of guests and the wedding party.

The thong shot above is Dale’s amazing image, as well as the black and white image of the boys waiting for Nikki & her bridesmaids.

Again the arty sunflare shot is Dale…

See, the dresses and details are just beautiful.

Dale grabbed the image of the flowers and the side view of Nikki & Shaun at Freshwater Bay.  I forgot that there were also matching girl/boy EJ Holdens (correct me if they are a different type of Holden…) - too cute!

As the sun went down, Nikki & Shaun headed to the reception where lanterns were hanging where they danced up a storm and played some very different wedding games…

A full post coming after the weekend but I thought that this image deserved its own post!  Also I had to lay flat on the ground to get this image and now I am past 30 this is not actually that easy to do!

The cute matching pink & blue Holdens and Nikki’s beautiful dress (and Shaun’s thongs -nice one!) give it this image that retro feel!

So busy at the moment trying to finish all weddings from November before Christmas but hopefully it will be done so I can have a nice relaxing week off before January kicks in again!

I am so excited to be posting these shots.  It was so much fun walking around Fremantle finding little spots for portraits and these two didn’t stop talking or laughing!  I can tell that I am going to have a great time shooting their wedding in a couple of weeks.

I am finishing up a wedding from a couple of weeks ago at the moment so watch out for a massive wedding post after the weekend!
