Alex Perry & Waterford Collection

I may say this a lot, but I really LOVE this photoshoot. The colours, lighting, models (Sophie Faulkner & Catriona Rowntree), dramatic dresses by Alex Perry and the amazing colours are just blowing my mind away and I'm in heaven right now!

The shoot is to celebrate the collaboration of Waterford Crystal with Alex Perry. Demonstrating the creative possibility of using Waterford Crystal in fashion, Perry created three gowns, each beautifully embellished with the illuminating shimmer only found in Waterford's crystal. Feminine and unashamedly romantic, the three Waterford Crystal gowns, in their pretty colour palette of lilac and nude, bear trademarks only known to Perry's work - refined elegance, prestige and luxury. The dramatic silhouettes feature hundreds of metres of lilac and nude tulle cascading over underwired corseted bodices. The tulle has then been swathed and wrapped, then embellished with sparkling Waterford Crystal.

Petrina and Nathan's Wedding

Last month I assisted (3rd shooted) with Luisa of Serendipity Corner Photography of at two weddings, one of which I will share today, the beautiful wedding of Petrina and Nathan.

This is my first set of wedding photos I've ever posted, so I'm excited to share. I love everything about weddings but my faves are always seeing the dress, flowers and bridesmaids gowns. From the moment I saw the dresses and colours of the flowers of Petrina and Nathan's wedding, I knew we were in for a great day of photos.

One of my favourite parts of the day was the brides preparation which I had lots and lots of fun. It was my first time ever to capture this part of the day and I loved the excitement of the girls floating about and dressing up. More importantly to me as a photographer, I loved that there was time to capture all the beautiful details.

After the ceremony we headed to take photos at a beautiful location at the park overlooking the water. It was very exciting to see the sun out to take some of my fave sun flare shots with the bride, groom and beautiful bridal party.

I had a blast at the wedding and loved being there every minute of the day. I can't thank Luisa enough for giving me this brilliant opportunity.

Tiffany & Co

Adoring the Tiffany & Co Some Style is Legendary 2010 ad campaign. When initially watching this, I remember the first dress shown and thought it looked familiar. It is a beautiful Marchesa dress that I admired (and still do) when looking for dress inspiration for my year 10 formal (4 years ago now). Love the filming of the beautiful ad, its so chic don't you think?

Ottoman

Time to time I admire pieces of furniture, in particular this avignon linen ottoman by Whiteport. Maybe one day in my future home?

Detailed cushions

I recently came across the Mr & Mrs White cushion collection while browsing Glen Allsop's (the talented photographer behind these images) blog. I love the look and feel of these hand made cushions from the neutral colours to the raw textured linen fabric with subtle stitched detail.

Melbourne Cup

So today is the big Melbourne Cup... good luck if you've put a bet on. I loved this cute invite designed for the staff at Samantha Wills for their Melbourne Cup Luncheon!
