Nakita & Kane
Perth Hills wedding

A summer wedding at Statham’s Quarry in the Perth Hills — vows on woven rugs under the orange rock walls, then the sun going down from the ridge with the veil in the air.

Nakita & Kane married at Statham’s Quarry in December, with their guests standing in a big circle on the gravel and two woven rugs laid out under the rock.

A quarry is an unusual place for a wedding, and that is exactly why it works. The cut rock glows orange in the afternoon, the boulders tower over everyone, and the dogs wandered around through the lot of it.

Then we went up high for the sunset. With Perth out on the horizon and the sun going down between them, the veil caught the last of the light, and that was the shot of the day.

After that it was celebration drinks at Gallagher’s Speakeasy at the Bassendean Hotel.

Nakita & Kane

Statham's Quarry, Perth Hills

Foreheads together, the veil lifting above them

A kiss under the veil with the sky going pink

Laughing together, her wide hat dressed with dried flowers

Smiling, her hat tipped against his shoulder

Her arms around his neck as the sun drops

Above the valley with the last light on the horizon

Walking out of the quarry with the dogs at their feet

Hand in hand under the orange quarry wall

The aisle: guests in a circle under the quarry walls

Stretching out in the doorway in her gown
