Wedding: bridal portraits

Most people can only hope to get a few choice photos from their big day at best that are 'frame-able'. You know, the ones you send to everyone and display in your house for all to see. So when I got back the photos from Christine Lim I actually could not believe my eyes. There were just so many shots I loved, and actually found it a somewhat daunting process to cut them down to a more manageable number. That is a good thing though! Christine and Ruby just went so above and beyond what I could have imagined and I am so glad to have these photos that I can look at for the rest of my life.

Between the ceremony and reception we had about an-hour-and-a-half to pose for bridal shots in the nearby streets. We were lucky that Fremantle is just so gosh darn photogenic - there are buildings and walls and lane ways at every corner that just beg to be photographed, and it was actually a pretty simple task to wander about and stop whenever our photographers had a great idea. I really love the mix of candid shots with the more posed photos, it's a nice balance and gave rise to many unexpected treasures.

I am also grateful for the crazy wind on the day (though I didn't feel that way at the time, haha). It was a lovely 20 degrees celsius on the day and though the rain threatened us early on, it stayed away except for a tiny sprinkling in the morning. I am told it's actually good luck for it to rain on your wedding day, so I wasn't complaining. But the wind, oh my. That was a force to contend with. But seeing these photos, how the wind picked up the tulle of my dress and threw it in all directions - I think that's mighty pretty. Thanks, Mother Nature.
