Fancy an intimate weddings at South Beach, Fremantle?

Fancy an intimate weddings at South Beach, Fremantle?

Ever fancied a beach wedding, or an elopement? If we could do an intimate wedding or elopement we would choose a beach as beautiful as this one at South Beach, Fremantle. 

When Maryann from The Studio Loft approached us for another collaboration on her visit to Perth this trip, we were clapping hands and feet, because this lady’s art is great but her HEART is greater. If you are a small business owner, a couple planning your wedding, or just anyone who ever needed some good images of yourself, you know it’s more than just the lighting, the craft, the moment, though all of that is important, beyond that, is the heart of the artist that makes her subjects feel like they could be themselves. Maryann’s unassuming personality, and her childlikeness, as well as her love for her own family, reflects in her choices of colours, her ideas, …. everything really. That’s what a great artist does for me, brings out the most honest things in people, and that is what touches the heart of me. Truly.  (See article on The Studio Loft)

Our task was to find the best morning spot for Maryann to have an adventure with us at. Western Australia, due to its geographical advantage, is known for its beautiful sunsets. But constrained to the Fremantle zone, i had to do a bit of research to find the best spot for those few hours we had. After much exploration, and also on-site research, we decided to give the lesser recommended, ie beaches (at sunrise) a go. That summer’s day was unusually cloudy and that gave a slightly grandiose effect to the pictures, and reminded me of that significance of covenant in marriage. That very big decision, yes, bigger than dresses, venues, and even wedding invitations. I remember when we got married, it was massive. It took 5 proposals before my yes. And so you know when you know you know.

So yes, but this time, we didn’t know. Our recollection of Scarborough beach matched the images we saw on google for South Beach. But when we arrived, everyone saw a good piece of canvas for fun, creativity and adventure. We had sneak peaks of the fruits of our labour (mostly hers!) and …. I must say, it was better than our wedding pictures…also taken by her! So here’s another underdog moment, and we LOVED it. It was also so nice to hang out and catch up with our lah, leh, and lor-s for a good hour. 

Whilst we are waiting in anticipation for the pictures as Maryann makes her way back to Singapore, she has very wisely taken a video and a still with her phone for us – so wise, since she’d probably expected us to chew our thumbs off in all this excited-ness. 

Thank you Maryann, bless your craft, your eye for art, and your big-heartedness. May it continue to bless many many lucky couples, families and beauty-seeking souls.

And here’s our impromptu video post on instagram taken by the wonderfully talented Maryann, candid moments and all:

Are we getting married AGAIN? 🤪 Here’s a candid impromptu video taken early sunrise yester-morn complete with sound of the waves with our dear and very talented friend @thestudioloft – yes, that’s really what happens in our shoots, lots of LOL moments. . . . The clouds gave a beautiful dramatic effect we were not expecting. And here you actually see the sun making a brief appearance on the rocks, quite spectacular. . . . It is always so much fun working with the cool crew. That’s how adventures happen! Carefully not knowing! Here’s a wind/sea blown version of Moonglow which felt quiet tender and pretty for the south beaches. Doggies swimming, horsies taking long strolls and the amazing Maryann on an adventure with us in the wee.
