DeRay Simcoe Photography

News from Bulwer St

Here's the bad news: After 16 months and 112 posts our "Blogger" blog has come to an end.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: We have a new blog featuring bigger, better quality photos and it's located here.

First up on the new blog is the very gorgeous Gareth & Michelle.

Thanks everyone for your support of our blog... we know many of our brides (and grooms) are out there pretending to work but really checking out everyone else's weddings!

The office will be closed from today until Wednesday 2nd of January but don't worry, there will be plenty to blog about on our return as we have two weddings and five portraits between now and the New Year.

I must finish up with photos of course, this is the staff at the DeRay Simcoe Christmas lunch at the Queens Hotel.

Left to right is our best girl Jodie (who else would tidy up our desks and keep the clients happy?), me, my awesome business partner Amber and the very talented wedding assistant Robert:

Of course the ultra cute Aiden:

Merry Christmas to all of our lovely clients and blog stalkers (comments are enabled on the new blog so let us know you are out there and leave us a message).

Blog a dog #6

Here's a very cute doggie called Astro with his owners Chris and Win... they have recently had a little baby boy so I hope Astro is not feeling too left out!

Mick and Carolyn Tie the Knot

Mick and Carolyn, a gorgeous young couple were married on a beautiful Sunday in December. Carolyn's family live in Highgate and have attended St Alban's Church for years, so it was the obvious choice for their ceremony. It was a very personal service as their close family friend travelled from over east to conduct the nuptials.

Carolyn wore a lovely dress from Anastasia Collections , one of her bridesmaids made the blue/green bridesmaid dresses. We went to nearby Hyde Park for photos with the bridal party.

Their reception was held at the Boat Shed South Perth. Starting at 4pm, there was a happy relaxed atmosphere. We took some awesome colourful photos on the jetty of the bridal party. It was a lovely afternoon!

A highlight for Diane and I were all the cute kids at this wedding. Here are our favourite photos of them during the big day.

A few from the weekend...

We had two weddings last weekend so I am in the middle of editing and spotted these few shots taken by my super talented business partner Amber.

Bride getting out of the car with dad, I like the repetition of heads here...

Fun shot with the bridal party...

Love this one... reminds me of one of my favourite photographers Elliot Erwitt who I have incidently had dinner with! He's really amazing. Yes the man on the left is asleep.

Like the angles on this one and thought a bit of colour might be nice although my favs are usually black and white.

Of course there will be lots more photos from these weddings next week. It will be interesting to see if these photos make the final album as our favourites are not always appreciated!

Fiona & Brendan's Karrinyup Country Club wedding

Fiona and Brendan were married last month at a stylish civil ceremony at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club. We have had the pleasure of photographing there many times and Tara and her crew always do a fabulous job!

Fiona wore a lovely lace gown with gorgeous button detailing on the back. She carried a bouquet by Romance Roses.

The ceremony was held on the lawns and then the guests mingled around the pool for drinks while we took some photos in the beautiful grounds.

Fiona is a jewellery designer so she had stunning accessories for the day. Huge diamond earrings (yes... these were real girls!) and here's her rings:
