Pure Opulence – Maria Weds Rob

In Weddings No Comment

Talk about opulence. Wowowowow! I am so honoured to have been a part of the tale of Rob and Maria. These two lovebirds really went all out for their extraordinary affair, easily one of the most luxurious events I have ever shot. The couple are Italian and definitely paid homage to their roots.

Rob is a reputed home builder and the owner of Spadacinni Homes. He certainly had a keen eye for detail, there was not a single detail missed on the day. The duo are lovers of art and culture – which is why they chose to work with me obviously ?.

Fast forward to the big day, I absolutely loved how they had their beautiful children participate as the flower girl and pave boy. Their gorgeous son was really cheeky and made for some excellent candid memories. The intimate affair was witnessed by the couple’s close circle, and every moment was the definition of finesse and luxury. I can still catch myself saying WOW!

Thank you to Rob, Maria and family for weaving me into your story. I was so honoured to have shot such a star-studded affair. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to hear updates on your love story.

A Marvelous Macedonian Wedding | Rebecca Weds Shashko

In Weddings No Comment

One of the best things about my job, is that I get to experience an array of cultures and it is a true celebration of family traditions and love. Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to witness and capture the love story of Shashko and his bride, Rebecca. Their wedding was a big and elaborate Macedonian wedding that included the flavours of their culture.

Their private and intimate ceremony was at the Macedonian Orthodox Church of Perth called Saint Nikola. It was absolutely beautiful with tear-jerking moments throughout. I was especially touched when I witnessed the emotion in Shashko’s face as he saw his beautiful bride walk down the aisle. Life is about capturing moments like this.

We took some fabulous candid photos around Brookfield place and then we went to Joondalup Resort for the reception! Wow – just wow! Being a big Macedonian wedding, everyone was dancing like it was their last night on earth. The vibe was so infectious, I snuck in a couple moves too. 😉

Personally, my highlight was learning so much about the Macedonian culture. One tradition that stuck with me is that the groom has to shave the morning of his wedding. The shaving of the groom is a celebratory custom that takes place, in ancient times it was believed that a groom could be so nervous on his wedding day that he could cut himself, hence the need for a steady reliable hand.

Thank you to the beautiful couple for including me on this auspicious day. It was such an honour to learn about your culture and to celebrate your love. Wishing you life long happiness :). Til next time.

Janny & Adam | Melbourne Adventures for an Engagement Shoot

In Destination Photography Engagements Pre-Weddings No Comment

Talk about #couplegoals.

I am so in love with the love story of Janny and Adam. They are a force to be reckoned with and I cannot get enough of their romance. The dynamic duo flew me over to Melbourne for a pre-wedding photoshoot and needless to say – we had a blast.

The wedding will be in Perth, as Janny is from Perth. But her career took her to the other side where she began a short-term contract. Before you know it, she found love in Adam and decided to make Melbourne her home ever since.

I think Melbourne is a scene that can so easily be photographed, so when I was informed of the destination for the shoot, I was beyond ecstatic. I love love LOVE Melbourne and shooting there is a treat. One of the sites we visited was The Royal Exhibition Building, it is a World Heritage Site – oh and one of my favourite spots obviously.

I cannot wait for the wedding in Perth guys, wishing you all the best and a happy future together.

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.
