A South of Perth Yacht Club Wedding with Michelle and Vedran

The South of Perth Yacht Club has to be one of my favourite wedding venues in Perth. Michelle and Vedran glammed up their special day with some of their best friends and family, and made it a day to remember for a long time.

Tell us about how you met? We’ve actually known each other for 12 years, and we first met through mutual friends. Over the years we would bump into each other occasionally, but it wasn’t until 6 years ago that we started running in the same social circles. We spent a year just hanging out as friends before we started dating. 

How did the proposal go? It happened on our first trip together to Europe. We were staying in Lake Como, Italy – one of the most beautiful places you will ever see – and is well known  for Villa Oleandra, George Clooney’s summer residence. Vedran hired a boat (with no license mind you!) and we spent the afternoon exploring the lake. Half way around we stopped in front of the Clooney residence, I turn to take some photos, and when I turned back around Vedran is down on one knee holding out a ring and asks me to marry him! 

In a few sentences, how would you describe your wedding day? We feel it was a mix of culture and tradition, with a modern twist! We wanted to incorporate the essence of Serbian culture in a way that encouraged those who may not be familiar with the customs to get amongst it! It was very loud and so much fun, a total vibe! 

Was there a particular vibe or theme you went for? The most important thing to us was for the day to be a true reflection of who we are as a couple and let our energy and love for each other create the vibe! Weddings are a serious deal, but it’s also one big party. At the end of the day everyone is there to celebrate your union – what more do you need?! 

What’s your favourite detail from the day? Walking into the reception and seeing all of our hard work come to fruition! We dedicated a lot of time and energy into planning a day that not only we enjoyed, but all our friends and family enjoyed too. We had an idea of what it would look like, but to see how it all came together in real life was magical. 

What about your favourite moment? It’s impossible to single out one! Walking out of the limo to be greeted by all our friends and family! We went straight into the Kolo (a traditional Serbian dance) and everyone got involved, that just set the tone for the evening! Oh and our first dance was everything! Our song came on and it was like we were the only ones there, totally absorbed in the moment, it’s something we’ll keep with us forever.

How did you decide on your venue? The venue was the easiest decision of the whole planning process. We wanted something elegant but not too formal at the same time. The view of the city from South Perth is amazing, especially at sun set and after the first viewing of the marquee we booked it straight away. 

If you were to do it again, what would do you differently? The little things that didn’t go exactly to plan were not things we could have predicted, so as cliche as it sounds.. absolutely nothing! 

Any advice you would give to other couples planning their wedding? *Allow yourself enough time for planning; It’s a massive task, especially if you don’t have a stylist and you are organising everything on your own like we did! *Be kind to yourself and your partner. The process is stressful at times and although you may have disagreements, it’s better to compromise than argue! If it gets overwhelming, take a break and go back to it another day. *Do your best to be practical, accept the possibility of some things not going exactly to plan. There is so much pressure for your wedding day to be perfect but if you approach it with a realistic attitude it will alleviate a lot of stress, allowing you to relax & enjoy the day to its fullest!

South of Perth Yacht Club

South of perth yacht  club wedding, susan and jer’s south of perth yacht  club wedding; as a wedding photographer i get to experience a lot of different cultures and unique weddings here in perth, i find them very exciting to photograph..

Susan had already booked a wedding photographer but a had a few reservations about the photographer. So a friend of Susan’s pointed her to my work, she loved my photography and needed to book me instead.

The wedding day was planned around Chinese cultural traditions having two tea ceremonies in the morning. This meant I had an early start at 8am at the grooms house, then we went off to the first Chinese tea ceremony.

It was a very funny event with the groom and his groomsmen having to do all sorts of challenges and pass many tests so that Jer could go upstairs to see Susan. Some of the challenges involved drinking straight spirits and bowls of hot chilli on noodles, others were dancing routines that needed to be passed.

I captured so many great photos at the two tea ceremonies for them to remember the fun times they had at the tea ceremony.

After the second ceremony everyone had lunch that was put on at the brides parents house, with a delicious asian banquet.

Susan and Jer then departed to start getting ready for the wedding ceremony later that afternoon.

They had a first reveal at the location the Jer had proposed before we headed off to do some family photos and a few bridal photos in the city around the King Street Area.

They had the wedding ceremony on the South Perth foreshore with the city skyline as a back drop. Which was conducted by Kimberly McKerras from KM Celebrations

After the ceremony finished we went to the South of Perth Yacht Club where they were having the reception.

We did a few more photos around the area before the bridal party went to relax and practice the moves for the entry into the reception.

The reception was beautifully setup in the marquee they have at the venue, with around 190 guests it was very special.

I was with the couple capturing their wedding for 15 hours which is such along day but very rewarding being able to give the couple a gallery of photos that document their wedding day.

Wedding photographers put so much effort into what we do capturing cherished memories with photos that will last a lifetime. Something I recommend is to print lots of photos from the wedding and getting an album, which they ended up getting a wedding album to have memories of the day in print.

I can recommend South of Perth Yacht Club without any reservations it’s an amazing venue to host your wedding. If you are considering them please take the time to go and look at the venue.

After the wedding Susan and Jer were extremely happy with the photos I took at their wedding, they sent an email message after receiving them;

“These are absolutely amazing. Such beautiful memories captured and I can’t believe how fast they were ready. I can’t wait to share them and continue looking over them! Thank you SO much”

and also and leaving a glowing review on Easyweddings

Paul was amazing to work with from start to finish. He did a pre wedding shoot in the rain, happily stayed with us for a 15 hour day around Perth, gave us preview photos the next day and shared the most incredible, candid pictures with us just a few weeks later that captured every moment we wished to remember. He had quick communication, checked in with the details and felt like a friend on the day.

SOUTH OF PERTH YACHT CLUB WEDDING – ASHLEIGH & KARL

Ashleigh and  Karl’s South of Perth Yacht Club wedding.

Style, class, sophistication and a whole lot of family connection. That is how I would describe Ashleigh and Karl’s wedding. When I get to spend time with my couples families, and I get to see the love that they have for each other it always warms my heart. I love to see the parents so emotional, so connected to the moment.

Without even knowing it, I gravitated to this green chair in Ashleigh’s parents room for some photos on the day. To my surprise, Ashleigh’s mum explained that it was the very chair she nursed Ashleigh in when she was a baby. It’s funny how sometimes we just know something is important or special.

I’ll also cherish that moment that Ashleigh got to reveal her dress to her Dad and best gals for the very first time. Their reactions were just so special, it was a moment that you just can’t replicate.

Ashleigh and Karl’s wedding was another one of those days where I’m reminded of how wonderful my couples really are. I’m truly blessed to meet such amazing people through my work, and getting to spend one of the most important days of their life with them is just the cherry on top!

Ashleigh and Karl, you are both wonderful people and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for including me in your day. Jx
