Hamish & Eliza

HAMISH & ELIZA’S WEDDING

AT A FAMILY FARM IN AUSTRALIA’S SOUTH WEST

***

We first ran into Hamish & Eliza a couple years ago when we photographed her sister’s, Bonnie, wedding at UWA. Little did we know that we’d be venturing down south to capture their special day in a couple years time.

The day was absolutely stunning. Blue morning skies, gorgeous light underneath the beautiful towering tree at the ceremony and plenty of laughs to go round.

Ok, highlight reel over - from the beginning now shall we?

Alma & Hasib

ALMA & HASIB’S NIKAH

IN BECKENHAM, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Now before we start, I have a little bit of history with these two! I was first contacted by Hasib on the 5th of November, 2018. He was planning to propose in two days time to Alma on Cottesloe beach. He was going to be under one of the gazebos for their anniversary and needed an undercover photographer to capture the magic of the moment.

Cue: Me.

Fast forward two days. The forecast has turned on us and the weather was freezing and windy. There was almost no one on the beach, and my plan to disguise myself as a person tanning on the beach wasn’t going to cut it. So I ended up planting myself at the bus stop ‘waiting’ for my trusty Transperth ride to collect me.

However I was actually waiting for Hasib to rock up in his Gunmetal Mercedes AMG.

They arrived, and I sneakily followed them down to the beach behind some trees. Sunset was the cue for me to know when it was going down, however technical difficulties ensued for Hasib and it was delayed until 20 minutes after. Light was EXTREMELY low, but luckily I know my way around low light.

Fast forward a year ahead (and an engagement party that I also was fortunate enough to capture) and we are blessed with a beautiful day for their Nikah.

Cue the highlights please!

Ok now here’s the whole ceremony, from start to fin.
