I’ve been hanging out to post these photographs since Bettina and Shane eloped just before Christmas, giving them time to share their news with all their family and friends. I love that this gorgeous pair feature in my last post before hitting the pause button on my wedding photography career.

The day could not have been more perfect with everyone getting ready at William Bay Country Cottages just west of Denmark town centre, with the team from The Temple doing the girls' hair and make-up...

I’m so excited to be sharing these photos although I’ve been procrastinating for the last couple of days, trying to narrow down my favourites and wanting to find the words to do justice to this incredible wedding. If I live to be 100 it will still be in my Top 10 Life Experiences.

This wedding was always going to be a little bit special with a Chinese tea ceremony, a bride who loves to create surprises and a groom who was not only in for surprises on their wedding day but had no idea what their honeymoon involved! It was an intimate affair with just 15 guests...wait, 17 guests - that was the first surprise for Jason when two of his best friends turned up having driven for 4 hours to get there. (I'm guessing Jason realises he has an awesome new wife.)

From the moment Bhreagh and I started chatting on the phone I loved her! She was marrying Hammy at Lost Lake Winery in beautiful Pemberton and they were planning a wedding festival. It all sounded completely perfect in every way.

Becky and Royston's love story began at a Perth bus stop...they got chatting, sat together on the bus, both missed their stops, and then continued talking at the train station for the rest of the evening. Each went home knowing they'd just met someone who would change their life.
