Our Fabulous Team

---

It’s such a pleasure to work alongside such a professional, talented, relaxed, confident and genuinely passionate photographer such as Kirsten. 

Kirsten Graham has been a professional photographer for close to 20 years now – it’s been her passion since she was a child and then went straight into the industry full time after studying.

For a lot of that time she has been a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP), which was the national governing body for the photography industry. She has been on the state council, and served as WA President for a few years as well.

To become a Master Photographer it takes time, sweat and a few tears. There are different levels that can be achieved when you have earn't a certain number of awards at national competition level.
Prints are submitted, there is a limit of four images per year, and a panel of five judges will give each print a score – there is professional practice as well as silver and gold awards for images that are deemed exceptionally above what a professional photographer should be shooting.

The first step is to achieve Associate status, which Kirsten was awarded in 2013, and then she made it to Master status in 2016. During that time she also won the Australian Creative Photographer of the Year with her 2014 folio.

 My family and I have personally devoured Matilda’s cakes for over seven years. I’m thrilled to have her on-board to provide our couples with delicious and immaculately presented Wedding Cakes.

Read on to find out more about Matilda and her thoughts and feelings on all things weddings!

“I ended up in the Cake industry back in Croatia. I attended a wedding where I saw a cake and was so impressed by it that I decided to try to do it myself. With 3 kids under two I decided to turn my cake passion into a business. And here I am living in Perth, a registered Cake business owner, mother and wife, and excited to be part of Intimate Elopements by Atalie. I couldn’t ask for more.”

“The best part of the Cake industry is to see couple’s smile. You know you played a part to make their special day even better. Decorating Cakes with fresh floral's is my favourite.” 

“A tip that I would give to couples is please pick Atalie as your Celebrant/Planner! Second is, keep it simple, let it be all about what you both want. Don’t forget to laugh and love each other through the whole process, and after the big day.”

Thank you for your very kind words Matilda, so honored and excited to have you as part of the Team. 

 It’s so refreshing to get to work alongside wonderful wedding vendors and create together! So grateful that I met Pannita and the Forever Rose Team to join me on this epic wedding planning journey!

Pannita's florist career began with an idea to recreate a rose bouquet for her sisters 22nd birthday. What started as a DIY project became a small business.

Pannita has a keen eye for creativity with floral's, and her design/creativity passion started from studying fashion in high school. She love's that there are endless designs and styles you can create with any floral's, hence why she love's working with Couples for their wedding day and bringing an idea to life.

Pannita specialises in both preserved (to keep or Hire) and fresh floral's. A favorite style of hers is to create custom boho/rustic designs.

And trust me, her ability to create an absolute fresh floral whimsical vision was bought to life when I gave her a brief which entailed 300 white Roses, and boy did she deliver!  

Whatever your vibe is, we can create something unique to suit your style and budget!
