About Us…
Meet Carla…
Our highly experienced local Celebrant
Hey there! I'm your go-to little love celebrator from the stunning southwest region, bringing all the fun, passion, and good vibes to your big day. I like to think of myself as a bit cool with a classic twist, and as a hopeless romantic, I'm all about everything LOVE—from the ocean and outdoors to bubbly, rosé, and every kind of celebration in between.
For the past 30 years, I've been lucky to call Dunsborough home and have fallen in love with every inch of the Southwest Margaret River Region. With my deep local knowledge of the beaches, forests, caves, and wineries, I'm here to share all its hidden gems with you. As a registered celebrant since 2006, my couples say I'm professional, fun, warm, and full of passion. I'm here to craft stylish, authentic ceremonies that truly reflect you, handling all the legal details so you can relax and enjoy every moment. I absolutely love elopements and intimate ceremonies and offer tailored packages to make your day uniquely yours. Let's celebrate your love story together!
Meet Paul…
Our highly experienced local Photographer
Hi. I’m Paul. So you’re in love?
Let me capture that for you…
I’ve been capturing weddings at home in the South West, interstate and internationally for the past 16 years. I started as a press photographer for the Augusta Margaret River Times, Busselton Dunsborough Times and later the Sunday Times, and my love for photography continues to bring me a lot of joy and adventure.
It’s taken me around the world, allowed me to work on fun projects for businesses like Harley Davidson, Rio Tinto, SCOOP Magazine, Wine Business Magazine and many more, and helped exercise a creative engine in me that is always running.
These days, my sole focus is weddings because it’s what I enjoy photographing more than anything else. Capturing love, fun and happiness – it’s the dream job! And nothing gives me more of a kick than delivering an eagerly anticipated wedding album on the day!
It would be an honour to capture these memories on your special day and weave together a visual story that reflects your love.
What Clients are Saying…
“We had the pleasure of having Carla as our wedding celebrant at Solitaire Homestead in March 2024, and we couldn't have been happier with her services. Carla's calm and confident presence truly set the tone for our special day. The ceremony was exactly what we had pictured as Carla tailored her speech perfectly to our vibes and humour. She was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and on our special day. Her professionalism and warm demeanour made everything run smoothly and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding. We highly recommend Carla for anyone looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond. Carla - thank you so so much!!”
Lauren and Jack
“Amazing pictures! Paul is definitely one of Margaret River’s finest photographers. The pictures of our wedding are exactly what we dreamed of. We absolutely love them! He knows how to catch emotions, and you really can feel our love and happiness through his shots. They are priceless. It’s like he knew our exact expectations without us asking for them. We sent the pictures to our family and friends back in France and they all said that it was like being with us that day! Thank you so much Paul for capturing our precious memories”
Tibaut and Fanni
“Carla was great from start to finish. At our coffee catch up, Carla took the time to get to know us and really understand the vibe we wanted for our ceremony. We were instantly put at ease. Carla worked with us to create a deeply heartfelt ceremony that was so personalised and very much "us". We are so thankful for her guidance and for being part of our big day. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. Thank you, Carla!”
Michelle and Richard
“Paul was amazing on our wedding day. Not only did he capture every beautiful moment with his impressive photography skills, but his warmth and sense of humour made the experience so much fun. He had us laughing and feeling completely at ease throughout the whole photo process, which made all the difference. His genuine, friendly nature made us feel like we were in the best hands, and the result is a collection of gorgeous photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Paul!”
