20.01.2022 Flowers are God’s gifts to us. They are so beautiful that they inspire many poets and artists to write wonderful stories and paint pictures about them. When we see flowers, we admire their beauty and the intricacies in their delicate petals. They can be arranged in a multitude of ways, their colours, shape and form has a way of soothing our souls. Flowers remind us that everything will work themselves out. If flowers don’t worry then neither should we xo, Lena Lim

19.01.2022 The beauty of this spectacular wisteria tunnel is unlike any other! For many years I'd dreamed about capturing it on film, which has such a magical quality about it! So when Kai and Queenie contacted me about having their anniversary photo shoot, I knew this would be the one! Queenie chose the gown herself, it was a very happy coincidence that the colour matched the wisteria tunnel so well! I asked the amazing floral designer Basia Puchalski to create a ...bouquet and boutonniere for the bride and groom. I then added my own silk ribbon for a whimsical finishing touch. I was thrilled to see K+Q's anniversary photos being featured on @oncewed. I was elated when a bride-to-be contacted me about photographing her intimate wedding at this beautiful garden! I got really excited and offered to do some of the concept design and planning for her too! Being able to capture exquisite and iconic photos for my couples is a wonderful honour for me, so they can look back at them in many years to come and cherish these timeless treasures. xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Floral designer: @basiapuchalskifloraldesign HMUA: @makeupbypheny_ks See more

16.01.2022 It’s been such a delight to watch the wonderful @taleahtilley grow from strength to strength as a floral artist! Taleah's style is reminiscent of a walk among a fragrant cottage garden or down a winding path to the ocean, where the waves lap at the shoreline. In their designs, Taleah uses surprising elements to create a magnificent texture including the nuts, seeds, pods and fruit of a plant. She recently launched a sister brand @keptmelbourne where you c...an find one of a kind vases to house your pretty blooms. They are beautifully sculpted, evocative of the gentle curves of a tree branch, or the undulations of a seashell. Maybe they are like the stem of a bamboo shoot. Perhaps the meaning behind the piece of art is best left to the imagination. xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Floral designer: @taleahtilley Venue: @est_studios Film lab: @thefindlab See more

15.01.2022 If you’re a plant lover like me say hey! I see you friend! Tonight I’ve been invited to share some of my knowledge on landscape design with the lovely folk at @flowers_infused_gday, where you can purchase beautiful plants in Melbourne. Before I became a wedding photographer, I was actually working in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. I completed both degrees at Melbourne University in 2010. ... I’ve worked on all kinds of projects, ranging from large scale urban planning to high end residential and landscape design. What drew me to that line of work was the design aspect. Being a visual person and an ENFP, I love to dream up new ideas and concepts, then designing the spaces and eventually seeing them constructed in the real world. So how did I end up becoming a wedding photographer? Back in 2010 a friend asked me to photograph her wedding. She loved the photos and her friends started asking me to photograph their weddings too. At the time I was working full-time in Architecture, and I only photographed weddings as a hobby. Eventually more and more couples asked me to photograph their weddings and I was working so much that I barely slept and didn’t have a social life any more. Then in 2015 my best friend from high school, Liz, passed away in an unexpected accident. That completely rocked my world and made me reassess what I was doing with my life. I became aware of just how precious life is, how short our days on earth are, and to make the most of every minute. So I prayed and asked God what I should do, and I felt that I could bless more people with my photography, so I went all in to becoming a wedding photographer. It’s funny where life takes us. I’m thankful to all the friends I’ve made along the way, making each day a joy and a blessing xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Floral designer: @basiapuchalskifloraldesign HMUA: @makeupbypheny_ks

15.01.2022 Wisteria is an enchanting climbing plant that, when in bloom, looks like something straight out of a storybook. Their tassel-like flowers - usually seen in shades of rich purple - drape dramatically over pergolas and archways while their branches twist and tangle until they're enmeshed with the structure they're climbing. Spring is all about a succession of blooms and September to October is when wisteria comes to life. ... xo, Lena Lim Kai and Queenie’s anniversary shoot featured on @oncewed Photographer: @lenalimphotography Floral designer: @basiapuchalskifloraldesign HMUA: @makeupbypheny_ks Gown: @grace_loves_lace See more

14.01.2022 Life is comprised of many, many moments. Moments that are fleeting There was a moment when you realised you had fallen in love. A moment when you knew in your heart of hearts he was the one.... A moment when you kissed and it felt so right. A moment you shared something special in your heart and you felt understood. A moment of feeling pure love and knowing that you are loved for who you are, unconditionally and without reservation. The moment you will say I do and commit your entire heart to him These moments of love are what makes your life bright and wonderful. I’m passionate about capturing your life’s precious moments, so these moments can preserved in beautiful, luminous photographs Let me capture your legacies of love xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Gown designer: @annacampbellbridal Floral designer: @basiapuchalskifloraldesign HMUA: @pout_perfection_melbourne See more

14.01.2022 Every little detail matters. Every piece you’ve chosen to wear on your special day reflects you and tells your story. That’s why I love to capture it all! I normally ask for an hour with the groom and an hour and a half with the bride to capture the getting ready photos. That allows me to style and photograph your wedding details and also take some portraits with you putting on your special pieces. I also love spending that time with you when it’s still... a little quiet before the exciting events begin! I’ll be there with you every step of the way from the beginning to the end xo, Lena Lim See more

14.01.2022 Spring is budding green joy fresh breeze and sunshine birds singing water running children sloshing through puddles... on the sidewalk Spring breathes anticipation green shoots sprouting from the earth unfurling into flowers the sweet scent of hyacinths a baby bird learning to fly Spring sweeps the dust out of our corners as we wake up as we look and listen to the promise of a morning sunrise to joy unfolding to a glowing new life - Carole Mullen @lenalimphotography on Mamiya 645 See more

05.01.2022 I absolutely adore photographing wedding details. Every single piece that is carefully chosen by the bride tells a unique and deeply personal story. As a fine art photographer, I love styling the gorgeous pieces on the morning of the wedding. Having a professional wedding stylist to arrange the details is also amazing! A tip for brides is to ask your floral designer to include a few loose flower heads that match your wedding florals in a box. They make f...or the prettiest detail photos! xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Shoes: @bellabelleshoes Florals: @nan_floral See more

03.01.2022 If you met me now, you would never believe it. When I was young I was really, really shy. I didn’t understand why I felt like I was so different to all the other kids until I became an adult. While most people seemed to communicate very easily with words, I struggled to make sense of words, because I mostly thought in pictures. ... When I was a child, I struggled to understand a lot of things in school until I was taught to read. Words in the written form were much easier to follow. I found myself sitting in the library a lot of the time, devouring books and travelling the world, through the stories of people living in far away places. After I got married to my hubby Sam, I discovered his way of thinking was very different to my own. When we listened to the exact same message, Sam tended to form concepts in his mind, whereas I tended to see the words visually, and pictures associated with those words would form in my imagination. After forming friendships with different artists I realised that we actually had a similar way of thinking visually. Other artists also felt frustrated when the words didn’t make as much sense as pictures. It felt so nice to be understood and to know that I’m not alone. I’m thankful to @kerrihocoach who helped me to strengthen my voice, giving me the confidence to speak without fear. She made the impossible, possible! I’m grateful that I pursued my calling as a fine art photographer. Doing what I’m naturally good at and being able to serve others with my gifts is an amazing blessing! Friends, know that you are wonderful just the way you are! Embrace what makes you different, because what makes you unique is also how you can use your special gifts to make the world a better place! xo, Lena Lim

03.01.2022 When I was younger I played the flute, because I loved how whimsical it sounded. I always pictured angels playing the harp and the flute in heaven and I wanted to be like them! Music has the power to lift our spirits and bring us to another place. Sometimes I like to play music during a photo shoot because it can change the entire atmosphere of the space and lift people's moods I love just about every kind of musical genre, but I have always had a sof...t spot for romantic ballads. Play a beautiful song and it'll move me to tears! What's your favourite type of music? Do you have a favourite musical artist or instrument? Please comment below, I'd love to know! xo, Lena Lim Photographer: @lenalimphotography Host: @alishacrossleyphotography Creative direction & styling: @jade.magnolia Florist: @mintdesignca Gown: @jennypackhambridal from @carriage_house Ring: @trumpetandhorn Hair & Makeup @beautybespoken Tabletop @borrowedblu Paper goods: @margauxpaperie Backdrop & Mats @jrd_artshop Linens @latavolalinen Suit: @shoppatrickjames Welcome gift: @asignaturewelcome Shoes: @bellabelleshoes Cake: @jade.magnolia Chairs: @brighteventrentals Painted bottle: @ruthoneya.illistrations Etched bottle: @gracecalligraphy Accessories: @carriage_house See more

01.01.2022 Summer vibes today Who else is basking in that glorious sunshine? I was chatting to a friend today who inspired me. He said that everything is a gift. ... Life itself is a gift. Friends, air, having a home, trees, flowers, having a beating heart - everything that surrounds us is a gift! A gift is not something earned, but rather it is given freely and generously by the giver. The one who created the earth and all we have, chose to give us this life for a purpose. What a blessing it is to be alive! I love this frame from a wedding shoot I captured in California earlier this year. The soft white flowers and foliage looks so dreamy against the beautiful ocean. The arch is like a portal to another world xo, Lena Lim See more
