Magical Memories: Alaleh Weds Saeed

December 24, 2018 In Weddings No Comment

And they lived happily ever after…

The incredible Saeed and Alaleh had their jaw-dropping Persian wedding with their family and friends not long ago. It was so touching to witness how close they all are and how integrated they are with eachother’s families. I loved shooting their love at Caversham House, this location never ceases to amaze me.

If you can recall, I did their pre-wedding shoot on Trigg Beach, check it out here and learn more about thier gorgeous love tale: https://www.jasonsoon.com.au/blog/a-coastal-engagement-shoot-on-trigg-beach/

The couple are Persian, so their beautiful big Persian wedding was nothing short of excellent. Honouring Bahai traditions, the ceremony was incredibly intimate and heartfelt. We then explored around and took some amazing candid shots before we made our way to Crown Astral for the reception! I snuck into the reception before all the guests arrived to capture the eye-catching decorations.

The reception was a fairytale in it’s own right. There were some light-hearted speeches and some unique dance moves. A night to remember for sure.

Thank you to the gorgeous couple for making me a part of your special day.

October 15, 2018 In Engagements Weddings No Comment

Congratulations! You are engaged. What an amazing time for you, I sincerely wish you well for this new chapter that you and your significant other are about to embark on.

The engagement period of your relationship should be equally celebrated as your big day. You have just committed your life to one an other and you are officially a ‘fiance’. Capturing moments before you tie the knot has it’s own special romance, so here are my personal picks for Perth’s best engagement photoshoot locations.

Bells Rapids

The beauty and splendour of nature can truly be experienced at Bells Rapids. The varying greenery and dramatic stream of water, certainly equate to some unique photos!

Trigg Beach

The rocks paired with the beautiful ocean make for some romantic shots. There is something so incredibly dreamy about this setting. It is really out of this world! That is exactly why Trigg Beach is one of my top picks.

Secret Garden

Enter through a gateway into an enchanted world. Welcome to Gwelup Secret Garden. This amazing spot is like something crafted out of a fantasy novel. There are so many elements to this location that photography here is guaranteed to be jaw-dropping.

Burns Beach

Let’s us take it to the coast once again. This time Burns Beach. Feel on top of the world in a location where beauty knows no bounds. This picturesque part of town is one-of-a-kind and extremely romantic in its scenery.

Hyde Park

Another world of enchantment. One of my favourite engagement photography picks is definitely Hyde Park. There is so much variety here, the setting is truly magical. Be spellbound in a location that looks like a fairy tale.

Notre Dame area in Freo

You cannot deny that Fremantle is bustling with an unrivalled character. Timeless elegance is the theme here and that is definitely evident at the renowned Notre Dame. There is something so incredibly charming about Notre Dame and the entire Freo area, this of course results in beautiful engagement photos.

John Oldham Park

What is it with me and fairy tales? My next pick is John Oldham Park. Again, this location transports you into a location you probably dreamt of in your childhood. The enchanting backdrop is so unique and dreamy, making it one of my go to spots for engagement photography.

State buildings/Como Treasury area

Historical and monumental, the Como Treasury area within the CBD is a product of incredible architecture and an impeccable eye for design. Simply gorgeous, expressing your romance through photography with a backdrop like this equates to 10/10 imagery.

Raeburn Orchards

This choice is more of a seasonal one. If you go to Raeburn Orchards at the right time, the scenery is truly picturesque. I mean take a look at the below photo, need I say more?

Take me overseas!

This one goes without saying, destination photography takes the cake. If you are truly eager to go for something different, then let’s catch that plane and go to location like no other. My amazing life with the lens has seen me go across the globe – I love my job!

What an honour. I would humbly like to announce that I am the recipient of the 2018 Master of Photography award that was presented to me at the AIPP Gala Dinner in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I was unable to be physically present to personally accept the award, but I am tremendously humbled by this milestone.

So what does this achievement mean? Being a recipient of this award is achieving a recognition of excellency from Australia’s leading governing body for photographers. It is a representation of the high standard of work and service that I provide.

Things like this do not manifest overnight, it takes years of dedication and consistency to this profession and I am once again, honoured to be awarded this status.

It’s officially spring! Wow and love is definitely in the air. Recently, I had the pleasure of doing a fun-filled pre-wedding photoshoot for a crazy in love couple, Danny and Eve.

These two love birds have an amazing love story, and I feel fortunate to have been able to capture that love on camera. Danny and Eve booked in me for three separate pre-wedding shoots around Perth, we went to Lesmurdie Falls, Raeburn Orchards and the Supreme Court Gardens in Perth.

Personally, I highly recommend Raeburn Orchards during September, as this is the best time to capture the Cherry blossoms! Check out my top 10 picks for engagement shoot locations in Perth, here.
