Jessica & Ben married in St John’s at Edenvale Heritage Precinct in Pinjarra — a small, quiet church with leadlight windows, where the light indoors is soft and even. The ring went on during the vows, and one of our favourite frames has them close together beneath the church’s arched leadlight window.

Everything at Edenvale is walkable, which is the whole argument for it. From the church we went out through the grounds: to the water’s edge with the lake and its reflections behind them, and under the enormous old trees, whose low, spreading limbs throw broken shade across the lawn.

That shade is genuinely useful — it means portraits in the middle of the day aren’t a problem here. Nose to nose beneath the canopy, hand in hand in the dappled light, and the groom carrying her train along the garden path in the late sun.

We finished at the heritage buildings, with a portrait against the weathered timber doors of an old outbuilding.
