Byron’s Swan Valley Limo Wine Tour

johncaldwell — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:16:00 +0000

Byron organised a wine tour of the Swan Valley to celebrate the birthday of a good friend from New Zealand. The day started at the Jane Brook Estate Winery to purchase a bottle of Gold champagne as the birthday gift. The fun continued throughout the day with the focus on boutique wineries.

Lunch was at Ironbark Brewery with the kangaroo burgers being the stand out choice for lunch. The drive home to South Perth was just as enjoyable as the group opened the bottle of Gold champagne to cap off an amazing day in the Swan Valley.

johncaldwell — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:22:32 +0000

Fiona and Marc organised there wedding day around the Fremantle Round House creating a stress free day centered in the historic port city. I collected Fiona and her bridesmaids from the Esplanade Hotel and we had a leisurely cruise through Fremantle and caught the attention of many passers-by on the way to the Round House. The ceremony on the Round House lawn with Freo town beach in the background was lovely.

Feature photographs with the Jaguar Mk5 convertible wedding car and through the streets of Fremantle followed before heading off to the reception.

Fiona thoroughly enjoyed the experience, in her words:

Hi John, I just wanted to say thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful car on our wedding day. Your service was fantastic and you and the car both looked great! The girls and I felt like film stars on our little drive around Fremantle. Everyone absolutely loved the car and we have some beautiful photographs – I’ve attached a couple. Thanks again, we will definitely recommend you to all of our friends Fiona and Marc 5 May 2012

Jessica and Mark’s Rainy Wedding Day

johncaldwell — Sun, 06 May 2012 20:42:04 +0000

They say rain on your wedding day is lucky – then Jessica and Mark will have a long and lucky life together. Unseasonal wet weather for April was no problem for Jessica and Mark who enjoyed the day and made light of the rain to get some unique wedding day photos at UWA and Kings Park.

Mark and his groomsmen traveled to the ceremony at St Columba’s Church in South Perth by launch from home in Fremantle. The Jaguar convertible wedding car made a few short trips to the church from Mends Street Jetty.

Jessica arrived in the Rolls Royce and Bentley bridal cars with her parents and bridesmaids. St Columba’s Church offers sweeping views of the Swan River and Perth and a beautiful interior for wedding services. The good luck started falling from the sky during the ceremony and the resulting light for the photographs was sure to please the photographers.

Chauffeurs Dirk, Leslie and John took care of the wedding party throughout the afternoon to assist the group to stay dry. In Jessica’s words:

Hi John, I’m sorry I have momentarily forgotten the name of our driver from yesterday, however, I want to quickly say he was absolutely lovely and so accommodating, going to great lengths to ensure we didn’t get wet on what was a bit of a rainy photo session! Please pass on our thank you to him. Jess and Mark wedding 28 April 2012

Amanda and Simon were married at Mater Christi Church in Yangebup. Amanda chose the red carpet for entry into the church. Following photographs with family and friends at the church the couple were chauffeured in their Daimler wedding limousine to Perth for feature photographs and the reception at Matilda Bay Restaurant.

The Matilda Bay restaurant is a favourite reception venue for Perth couples with two reception areas both with stunning views across Matilda Bay to the Perth city skyline as a backdrop to the celebration. The downstairs reception room has the benefit of spilling out into the open air courtyard with direct access to the waterfront which adds another dimension to the location.

Tessa and Imogen’s School Ball Convertible

johncaldwell — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:13:54 +0000

Tessa and Imogen chose to take a classic ride to their school ball in a Jaguar convertible from Belle Classic limousines. The sunset drive to the city was fun with some nice photo opportunities at the South Perth foreshore. The girls really enjoyed the open top drive home at midnight after a night on the dance floor.

The classic cars are a great alternative for small groups of friends seeking something special and a little different to the ever popular Chrysler limos.
