We got to lie on the lush green grass, and for someone who dislikes touching grass, the experience was totally fun. First, the grass was dry, and not wet and muddy, and it was not ticklish.

The temperature was cool and the sun was mild. Our wedding photographer tried to get us to run, and she even lay down on the ground and caught us running across her with our arms linked above her.

Some of the trees here are extremely huge and old. I don’t like the trees that much though.

The small little pavilion overlooks the entire Perth city, so it is a lovely place to be. I really miss the days where I took my outdoor wedding photos in Perth.

The water is turquoise though certain patches have different colours. This is definitely better than seeing dirty brown water around Singapore.

Anyway, if you like scenery by the beach, you can check out my evening beach series.

This evening gown is turquoise in ball gown shape. This is great for pear shape body. I had a can can beneath me, so for certain shots, I was supposed to run, it was a little tough. The tie that my husband is wearing is not a real tie. It’s just a silky piece of cloth tied around his neck.

One thing that struck me about this location is the numerous birds that have come back to roost. As the water was quite clear, my gown remained dry and clean. Do take note if you go to the beach to take wedding photos, especially if the waters are not very clean.

 A few months later, I signed up for the package and I went to the same place with the same photographer who tagged along with them. Following the Lavender Series, here is the winery@Margaret River series.

This is a winery in Margaret River, and there is an extremely huge Australian flag. If I’m not wrong, it’s called Voyager Winery. After the show, a lot of Singaporean couples went there to take their photos and the winery started charging people. So, my photographer was rather sneaky and we just pretended to be tourists who went in to take some photographs.

There is a lovely shop at the winery. Too bad it was not the season for us to see the grapes. I like this place because of the buildings. The roses were huge. This was the first location for us in Margaret River and we took a lot of photos. There were huge flies so, we looked like we had huge moles in some photos. Thank goodness for photoshop. The sky was extremely blue as well.

I got this peach dress from a shop Eragon or something in Marina Square. The owner asked me to send her photos, but I never got to. So, these are my wedding photos in a winery.

Other couples with us wore more casual clothes. A couple wore jeans and t-shirts. Another wore matching t-shirts and Bermudas. I didn’t really like the idea of wearing couple clothes, so we did not do that. Maybe some couples like that idea. Anyway, I’m not a jeans and t-shirt girl, so I think what I wore reflected my personality more. My husband has to match my dressing, so too bad for him. He looks good though. He got this shirt in Malaysia.

I just realised that our photographer likes to take shots from a particular angle.

Margaret River in Perth is where we went to take our wedding photos on the second day of our trip. This place is well-known for wineries and other farms. We travelled by a small coach to the place for at least 3 hours. We had packed our wedding gowns and suits in suitcases and we lugged them onto the coach.

This set of Lavender Series photos from my overseas photo shoot is taken on a farm, and unfortunately I cannot remember the exact name of the place. This place has a lake and lots of lavender flowers. It was nearly summer, so the lavender is not as lovely as I had expected. This is the main reason why I wanted to go to Perth to take my wedding photos. I love lavender.

Nevertheless, we managed to take some photos here. My photographer was great at telling us where to look and how to pose.

The clouds were many but the sky was still blue. There were a lot of flies so we spent some time swatting the flies. Despite that, I remembered to slap on a lot of sun block because the sun was very strong. One bride-to-be did not do that and she had to take photos with two red patches on her shoulders.

I like this Lavender Series simply because of lavender. Do look out for other series.

We left Singapore on a Monday. When we reached there, we simply rested and did not really explore much of Perth. It’s been almost 12 years since I last visited Perth. Thank goodness the bluebottle flies were not out in full force yet.

I woke up at 5am to get my makeup and hair done. Just before we went to take photos at different locations, the makeup artiste will touch-up my face and hair again. The weather was quite cool, so it was quite fun. I felt like an artiste or model who has flown overseas on an assignment.

Apart from taking photos, we had great fun having drinking games in one of the rooms almost every night. I would think up games to play and the photographers bought a lot of wine over. I’ll post the professional photographs soon.
