Top 10 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Album

Yes, the digital world is awesome. Don’t get us wrong. We love posting photos, sharing them and having them on our devices. But there is something oh-so special about something physical and tangible. Wedding albums are an essential part of the wedding experience and here is why you NEED one:

#1 Illustrates your story from beginning to end

Eventually, your flowers will die, your cake will be eaten, decorations gone and all you have are your beautiful memories. Photos are snippets that tell a gorgeous story, it is my job to illustate this on your wedding day for moments in your album.

#2 Your wedding is a family heirloom

Your album will be passed down through the generations. It is a keepsake. When we think about it, photos really are the most treasured possessions. This is your legacy. Imagine your grandkids looking through it alongside you one day.

#3 Stands the test of time

An album is seen as timeless for a reason. A USB can be lost or go obsolete. CDs – are they even a thing anymore? Now an album, that is here to stay. I use the finest albums which are handcrafted and made in Italy – I only want the best for my clients.

#4 They beauty of being tangible

They are real, tangible and arouse the sense of touch as they rest in your hands.

#5 It is better than DIYing it down the road

Your wedding day is the biggest day of your life. Why not do it professionally. I put in extra time and love into the images that go into the album. So, you can rest assured your album will look the best.

#6 Wedding albums express and convey the real emotion from the day

I have seen it firsthand. When a couple flick through their wedding album, the emotion is on another level. The combination of storytelling and the physical factor really enhance the experience.

#7 Going purely digital means you could risk losing it

Things happen. Computers break and life gets in the way. Having a hardcopy of your wedding day with your absolute best moments will preserve memories the old fashioned way.

#8 Wedding albums are customised and bespoke

All our wedding albums are bespoke and suited to your style and taste. I ensure that the album is reflective of your individual styles and your personality as a couple.

#9 Don’t allow the possibility of regret

Many couples have told me years after their wedding day that they were so glad they invested in a wedding album. With the journey of life, there can be change. Having a solid memory like an album can capture things that are otherwise lost by time. This is where albums are priceless.

#10 It is part of the package with me – so the question is, why NOT!

The Look of Love: Dragana & Nemenja

In Weddings No Comment

Capturing loves’ timelessness once again – and what a stunning couple Dragana and Nemenja are. I had so much fun taking pictures for them at their beautiful Serbian wedding held at the wonderful Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church.

I just love cultural weddings! I feel honoured to have had such a wide array of experiences with different cultures and religions… It’s beautiful to see the changing rituals and ceremonies, and how the common theme is always love. Lucky me to have the ability to capture that!

One of my favourite moments at Dragana and Nemenja’s wedding was watching them lay their eyes on each other for the first time at the church. It was obvious right away just how in love the pair are! You know, that look of love <3.

The reception took place at the State Reception Centre, a favourite of mine (which is great as I am their preferred vendor;)). It was so awesome capturing the couples’ first dance – heavenly actually. There were smoke machines that looked like clouds and also fireworks – SO much fun to shoot!

Wishing you two the very best, thanks for having me as part of your day.

One for the Books Indeed: Deone Weds Alex

In Weddings No Comment

There are few feelings as awesome as having your work appreciated by professionals in your field – that’s why I felt so pleased when Deone and Alex asked me to shoot their wedding… because when an industry insider and her beau love your work, you know you’ve been doing a job well done! Yes, Deone is in the wedding business herself – not only as the wedding manager at State Buildings, but she also owns her own business, the awesome Dee for Design!

This duo’s big day was absolutely stunning… The outdoor ceremony was relaxed but lavish. The reception took place in a marquee that was set perfectly against one of my fave backdrops – the Aussie bush! And the styling was incredible. With florals from Fox and Rabbit, stationary by Grey Rabbit Design and furniture from M event hire, I couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate the newlyweds, and of course to eat the amazing cake provided by Cake and I!

I should add that there was an extra special guest that caught everyone’s attention (including mine) – Deone and Alex’s crazy cute dog! The pup was dressed to the nines, sporting a floral wreath necklace that was almost as spectacular as the couple’s jewellery made by Rohan Jewellers (but not quite haha;))

As you’ll see below I got heaps of nice moments, despite the quick photoshoot! Thanks again to Deone and Alex for trusting me to capture their special day.

Pre-Wedding Fun with Rosaleen and Sebastian

In Weddings No Comment

Pre-wedding shoots here we come. If you guys didn’t already know, I love love LOVE pre-wedding shoots. They are such a relaxed way for me to get to know your love story and it helps a couple get comfortable before the big day. Recently, I had an amazing shoot with a Rosaleen and Sebastian.

I cannot get over this fun-filled shoot. It has to hit the books for most memorable for sure. These lovebirds can barely resist eachother and that beauty was certainly translated through the lens.

These two actually hail from Brissy but they flew all the way to Perth for their shoot. We chose Fremantle for our shoot location. The afternoon was super playful to say the least. The weather was a tad on the cloudy side but that made for some dramatic shots (helps that I am a total pro with the lighting, of course 😉 ).

I love it when a couple aren’t afraid of a little colour, it makes for some nice shots and pops through the lens! Rosaleen chose to wear red and that certainly enhanced the photos!

Thanks for having me for your pre-wedding shoot guys. I had a lot of fun.
