Chistmas Break

2011-12-21T15:04:00.000+08:00

I have been most slack lately with the blog – although relatively good with my Facebook page.. I hope to catch up over the break – on rest, family fun and some photography work! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas… We will be incognito from 22^nd December til 9^th January 2012; but will return all emails and phone calls as quickly as possible then.. These are what my mum and my gorgeous girl Issy and I did the other day - its beginning to look a lot like Christmas :-)

Miranda and Trent Wedding Photography - Thank You Card Options - Hillarys Yacht Club

2011-12-19T15:11:00.000+08:00

These pics were from the gorgeous wedding of Miranda and Trent – at the Hillarys Yacht Club..

Portrait orientated are great for couple photos and are often used by my brides for their thank you cards and as photo gifts for coffee tables and bedside cabinets in beautiful little frames.. Landscape orientated photos tend to be the big glamorous wall canvases and enlargements and most of the time feature a beautiful scene with the bridal couple in it - but a photo that would still look great without them..

Experienced professional wedding photographers think about these details when creating your wedding photos and designing your albums.. its another reason to use us instead of someone who can take a great picture.

Feel free to contact me on 0406 016 or info@melissasphotography.com.au if you would like more tips on photos for your big day!

The Green Family

2011-11-23T09:02:00.000+08:00

Yes they eco-friendly too – with solar power and vegie gardens.. I love family portrait sessions.. I can’t structure or organise them – the thought of rigidity in photos for kids makes me cringe.. I just play for an hour, wherever makes the family happy.. fun for all of us!!! Relaxed is best for families..– you can feel kids having fun thru the lens.. and see it in the photos..

Rebecca and Chris Wedding at the Old Swan Brewery

2011-11-21T08:58:00.000+08:00

Rebecca & Chris had their wedding at one of my favourite places – professionally and personally – the Old Swan Brewery.. Its where we go for special occasions and found out that our beautiful Issy was a little girl.. Obviously it’s also a special place for Rebecca and Chris – I absolutely adored this wedding the whole day thru.. there was so much love and good feelings I floated around for days afterwards!! More photos on the web gallery too…

Rebecca and Alans Wedding at Munja Gardens

2011-11-21T08:55:00.000+08:00

Rebecca & Alan had their wedding on one of the wettest November weekends in history – however we were truly lucky with the rain holding off for photos in the myriad of locations in Munja Gardens.. You can see more of the gorgeous photos via the Melissa’s Photography Facebook link

Rachel and Micheal's Wedding in East Fremantle

2011-10-26T21:35:00.001+08:00

I loved this wedding - it poured with rain all during the photo session time and not once did it stop any of the bridal party.. It was such a clear example of truly sharing lives from the bride and groom.. I did feel very lucky to be a part of the day - if not a little bit cold and wet! The ceremony was at Merv Cowan Park which had a fabulous view over the river and the reception at the Tradewinds Hotel in Fremantle.. We also had a game of soccer/football and braved the elements at Port Beach.. At present it is hard to fit the photos on the blog as I would like - so here is the video of the preview pics .. and the link to the Facebook Page for Rachel & Michael's Wedding for more photos

Spring Photos of Cuties

2011-10-23T20:43:00.000+08:00

Justine and Damians Wedding

2011-10-16T14:14:00.000+08:00

It was my first wedding in two states.. The ceremony was in Victoria and the ceremony in NSW – The wedding was held on the Murray River border towns of Yarrawonga and Mulwala.. Yes I travel for weddings but much less now Isobel is around.. Feel free to give me a ring or email to discuss travel if you have an exotic wedding location.. I am always available for Maldivian weddings! Justine and Damian’s wedding was absolutely beautiful and intimate at the Yarrawonga Catholic Church and the Yarrawonga Border Golf Club for the reception and photos.. And so clearly reflected their love and commitment to each other.. For some reason I cant post them at the desired size without the quality reducing today.. Sorry

Littlesweet Baking's Mini Cupcakes

2011-10-16T12:56:00.001+08:00

It was my lil sister’s 30^th birthday yesterday and we celebrated with a party at Whiteman Park.. Somewhat differently to my 30^th when we were all without kids!

It was a wonderful party and the girls had a ball..

Most importantly adults and children alike ABSOLUTELY loved the mini cupcakes from Megan at Littlesweet Bakery just outside Fremantle..

We had the divine White Choc & Raspberry, Choc Mud and Cookies and Cream flavours..

I did mean to take some pics before the party… but in all the chaos it was forgotten.. so here are some pics of the leftovers (yes I hid 3 of them for me the next day!)

They have travelled in the car been banged around in their box and still look fantastic..

Despite being a photographer the most important part about cake for me is not how it looks but how it tastes… AMAZING!

One of my pics shows that there was LOADS of raspberries in the white choc ones (yes that is mid eating for me – it was a struggle to put it down long enough to photograph)

Megan uses imported Belgian chocolate – it makes a difference..

Almost every single person commented on them and I had to push away 8 little kids to save the three for the post!

The 50c piece shows the size of the cupcakes – they were a two to three bite proposition for me (depending on whether our mum was looking).. and for the purpose of the blog I tried all three J -

A big thank you to Megan for making the yummiest cakes around and making our lives that little bit sweeter! And yes she does do wedding cakes too..

Check out her website and Facebook pages.. num num num

Miranda and Trent Prewedding

2011-09-26T08:04:00.000+08:00

Down at Matilda Bay with the gorgeous Brodie who may have stolen the show.. almost..

Because Miranda and Trent photograph SO well.. and were really patient everytime I said "just one more quick photo!"

Rachel and Michael Prewedding Shoot Tradewinds Hotel and Port Beach

2011-09-18T11:54:00.000+08:00

Rachel and Michael had their prewedding shoot at the Tradewinds Hotel in

East Fremantle and Port Beach on a miserable wet and windy September day..

But I truly had no idea the weather was awful because they are both so happy

and fun and clearly in love which keeps you warm..

Can't wait til their big day come October!

Wedding Workshop with the WA AIPP

2011-09-03T23:04:00.000+08:00

The AIPP is the Australian Institute of Professional Photography and help to maintain a high industry standard with continuing education, business support and marketing opportunities..

For brides and grooms it provides you with reassurance that your photographer is professional backed by an industry body.

Andrew Harrison (from Passion8 Photography) and Shireen Hammond (from Field of Vision Photography) in Melbourne came over last week to run a wedding workshop entitled “Keeping It Real” at the City West Reception Rooms in West Perth..

As always – attending these workshops teaches me so much and inspires me to try new techniques and ideas.. Here are a few pics from behind Shireen and Andrew’s shoulders!

Family Portraits in Perth

Latest Wedding Video

2011-07-24T17:33:00.005+08:00

The latest wedding video.

Their song for walking back down the aisle is one of my favourites.. Florence and the Machine's You've Got the Love..

Which meant I loved processing this video and listening to the great song over and over!

Susan and Alastair's Wedding at PLC and Royal Perth Yacht Club

2011-07-13T20:19:00.000+08:00

Winter weddings are few and far between in Perth.. Generally speaking

Western Australians don't embrace the cold.. But the light is stunning and

it gives you the chance to have your choice of wedding suppliers!

I loved this wedding.. The minister at PLC (Presbyterian Ladies College) allowed me an unusual front stage vantage point for the ceremony - Which meant capturing the love and joy from
friends and family celebrating their marriage..

Then some beautiful scenery in and around Kings Park before my first
inglorious "stack" at the Royal Perth Yacht Club.. The camera gear was safe and I was
only bruised! And the onto the reception at the yacht club and some great
speeches.. I wish there were more winter weddings

Weddings in Denmark

2011-07-13T20:07:00.001+08:00

My family has recently moved down to Denmark..

An absolutely beautiful part of our state and fantastic for weddings..

So I have decided to branch Melissa's Photography into Denmark as well - where I can shoot stunning weddings and Nanny and Grumps can look after our gorgeous daughter!

If you are considering having your wedding down south from Mandurah to Albany you can still book Melissa's Photography; and for 2011 & 2012 there will be no travel charges for Denmark weddings..

We can also help you with local venues and suppliers if you are considering a wedding in the beautiful south west

Our Windward Ballooning Adventure in Northam

2011-06-20T11:33:00.000+08:00

Our dear friends gave us a ballooning weekend adventure for shooting their

wedding last year and we headed up to Northam.. worrying about the howling

wind and rain.. But the Sunday morning was crisp and still and beautiful..

The ballooning was fantastic fun and so very peaceful

We can highly recommend Windward Balloon Adventures and the feeling of floating above the world

And the giving of fabulous presents for wedding photos from Melissa's Photography

As Jai and Chris were so fantastic and they have loads of rellies staying – here is a little sneak preview from their wedding on Friday.. The ceremony was at St Georges Cathedral - the most beautiful church in Perth; and where Jai's parents got married over thirty years ago!

Wedding location photography was in and around Matilda Bay and Leighton Beach with their very dear friends in the bridal party.. The onto the Mounts Bay Sailing Club for the wedding reception - which Jai & Chris decorated themselves the day before the wedding!

PS: Watch out for the “best of” package via our web gallery .. link to come here and on our facebook page in about 3-4 weeks.. I also had the lovely opportunity of working with Derek Ho from Urban Light video productions

This one is my favourite - they look so happy and relaxed..

You can't take the footy boys out of the trees!

Stunning girls - even in the wind at Leighton!

Not only can they dance; Chris and Jai set up and decorated the room themselves!!!

Watching their very own fireworks!!

After seeing the beautiful 85mm prime that NK Photography had recently.. I NEEDED one..

So far... I love it.. and imagine it will take much more glamorous wedding photos than these play trial photos J ...

Cody was grumpy.. Digga confused... and Dean and I just crazy!
