wedding photography for chill vibes and fun folks

What's your story?

Your favourite photos usually have a two things in common: they tell a story and they capture an experience. YOUR story and experience.

You might be eloping under a tree in the forest, having an intimate wedding in a heritage building in Freo, or having a killer backyard wedding party with all your favourite crew. Whatever you’re doing, you want your photos to be real. Not forced or fake, imperfect in an endearing way. More meaningful. You want to remember having fun!

So, let’s snap you laughing out loud at bad jokes, feeling all loved up, looking super awkward during the serious bits, and all the other eccentric things that make you, you.

Like the sound of that? Read on!

what clients say...

I simply cannot recommend Kat enough. She was amazing at communications from when we booked in for our wedding, right up to the very day.

The entire day, she made us feel at ease whilst having such a laugh and so much fun. The pictures have come out amazing - a friend saying they are the best wedding pics she has ever seen. Thank you Kat!! If I had my wedding day again, I would book you again and again and again x

You wouldn’t believe it from these photos but there was a looming thunderstorm just before the ceremony at @andersonpointperthhills - but the moment the brides arrived the sun came out of nowhere! They celebrated with their nearest and dearest and, without planning it, everyone surrounded them while they had a dance as the sun set over the rolling hills of Brigadoon while being serenaded by @reillycraigmusic - it was magic 🥰

REVIEW: “We were lucky enough to cross paths way Kat several times over the last two years - she completed our engagement photos, our wedding photos, and wedding photos for two of our close friends. She has always been the perfect blend of chill, professional, and kind. She made us feel so comfortable all while getting some shots we love. So good. Thank you!”

I loooove being part of people’s love stories like this!

After photographing this family back in 2023 I was absolutely honoured to photograph their wedding in March this year! Held in a midweek ceremony at @darlingtonestate in the heart of the West Australian bushland, I was even more stoked when they used @rusticromance for their gorgeous arbor and HOME GROWN flowers!

A sweet little Perth City elopement ceremony in Stirling Gardens with @abbyrohdecelebrant was just the ticket for these two. I absolutely loved that they built their lego bouquet together the night before! And like most couples they told me they were shy in front of the camera – but can you tell? That’s the magic of my clown buffoonery skills lol!

Adored this chic casual wedding at the @eastfremantletennisclub with all the best things that mattered. They hid upstairs and walked the aisle together, and after their @vowsbyval ceremony guests enjoyed the gorgeous views from the balcony with drinks and delicious pizza by my fave @pizzalabperth – and I was so impressed by the bride’s DIY styling!

A beach wedding at 10am in February? Brave! But these two cared more about enjoying the time with their family and friends at their favourite time of day – and I’m all for couples who do what’s right for them! And how good does the ocean look in the morning? Those blues!

Post wedding portraits at the gorgeous Cottesloe Civic Gardens are so damn romantic! And then to literally drive off into the sunset in a killer convertible? So good.

I couldn’t wait to take some amazing photos in Japan, and then I randomly decided to collect photos of all the cute vending machines I came across on the way lol!!! #iykyk #japan

Another beautiful love story told at @paperbird_books with the special Book Store Elopement Package with @eddiecelebrant

With just their immediate family as witnesses and some gorgeous florals by @thefreoflorist we gathered around the books and watched these two get married. Afterwards we went for a little walk around the streets of Freo for some photos – including some silly ones – before we left them to celebrate!

When you fly from the UK to Perth to elope in summer, obviously you’re going to do it at the beach at sunset!

When I say these two had a fun wedding, I mean it was the kind of fun where hopping in a trolley for photos seemed perfectly natural. Yes it was my suggestion, and I don’t know why but I loved it!

When these two gorgeous ladies headed to Western Australia from the Eastern States to elope on the beach in summer, I couldn’t believe it when some rain clouds rolled in. Fortunately their Airbnb had the perfect Plan B spot on the balcony and we continued on, with @celebrationsbycandice taking the lead and @makeupartdirection as the fellow witness, we had so much fun! As evidenced by the smiles on their faces, they didn’t let a little rain ruin their day – and they were rewarded with an amazing sunset at the end!

Another love story told, inside the walls of a beautiful book store in Fremantle.

This is what our bookstore elopement package looks like - a special package both @eddiecelebrant and myself offer at @paperbird_books

Couples literally climb through a Narnia like wardrobe to have a private ceremony in a room full of books and then you’ve got Freo at your doorstep for celebrating afterwards – which for these two was a sneaky drink at the secret underground bar L’Chaim – which also features a secret door behind a bookcase! It was an unforgettable experience that I’m sure they’ll never forget.

Big thanks to @storystory_videography who also captured this love story on video!

Having all your wedding photos in black and white is a vibe! Don’t worry, you get them all in colour too lol!
