PERTH / BOHEMIAN BLISS AT AMPHITHEATRE QUARRY

A relaxed outdoor Bohemian-styled bridal shoot at the Quarry Amphitheatre brings together raw natural beauty and curated boho elegance in a uniquely striking setting.

With its towering limestone walls, native bushland backdrop, and open-air stage, the amphitheatre becomes an enchanting canvas for a laid-back yet sophisticated shoot infused with organic textures, earthy tones, and effortless romance.

Nestled in the heart of Bold Park, the Quarry Amphitheatre offers a secluded, open-air location with dramatic stone textures and surrounding greenery. The natural curvature of the amphitheatre creates a gentle sense of intimacy, while the golden afternoon light bounces beautifully off the limestone, bathing the scene in a warm, peachy glow. The atmosphere is quiet and grounded — serene, yet deeply stylish.

The Photography by Esme Whiteside Photography captures golden hour moments — sun flares over limestone, intimate laughter, and tactile close-ups of florals and fabric. The tone is warm, cinematic, and grounded, with a focus on storytelling through subtle movement and natural connection.

"The ideas were simple...elegant. We wanted to focus on a stunning location and a loved up real couple...with earthy, textural but modern styling to act as a contrast. The weather on the day was gorgeous, although there wasn't a cloud in the sky! Not much cover for Esme to shoot, nor for the team as the temperature rose. We worked quickly and started early." Jenna shares.

The main styling areas were set up and included a high seated table with wire chairs hired from Maisey Collections. Their over table arbour worked perfectly with Rose + Bud’s gorgeous statement floral installation. The table was styled in a modern yet textural way, with glassware, candles and florals at different heights to add interest. Kara from Rose + Bud brought boxes full of gorgeous pink, amber and creamy coloured stones from her friends at Crystal & Stone, which absolutely worked with the striking cliff textures of Quarry Amphitheatre, and the tones of the florals.

"We styled a ceremony arbour with movable plinths, Maisey’s new palm springs-style wicker benches, and we decided to reuse the over-table arch to add height and drama.

Other styling areas included a gorgeous chillout area with big vases, sofas and rugs, and a gorgeous pinky toned cake from Sieve and Stone topped the food styling.

I created a bespoke suite of arched wedding invites along with multiple card inserts, all styled with my signature envelopes and tassels." Jenna tells.

"Our lovely couple were a real married couple; Jordy and Eliza. Luckily for us, Jordy had a gorgeous linen trouser/shirt combo and a whole host of suit trousers, shirts, braces and ties, so we were really spoilt for choice! To complement the outfits that Jordy wore gorgeous dresses by the amazing Bo & Luca for Eliza to wear!

She looked incredible in both the gowns we opted for...one being a simple but elegant shift, and the other, a dramatic sleeved gown with applique detail.

Jewellery and hair accessories lent by Iron & Bone and Lilley Studio respectively topped off the beautiful bridal looks, which were created by Jane of Hadarah Hair and Makeup and Elona Commerell MUA.

Hats off to the whole team for their beautiful, hard work...especially Esme who hadn't quite acclimatised to the Aussie heat but still managed to trek to the top of the quarry to capture some amazing shots with Eliza and Jordy!
