PEGGY SAASTAMOINEN.

Hello, I'm Peggy. I'm a wedding photographer and I'm seriously crazy about people in love.

I am obsessed with unscripted storytelling. I approach weddings with a photojournalistic curiosity and am more attached to the candid moments than the posed.

I'm especially fond of meeting new people and have immense respect for those who appreciate photography as an art form. Trusting me with my vision is super important to me. 

I live in (and love) Perth but am keen to hop on a plane now and again to explore new and interesting places.

I avoid routine but my one constant is my morning coffee.

I am introverted but love people, so although I love to hibernate and spend a lot of time at home for the most part, I also love a good chinwag when you get me out of the house.

I am fascinated by what makes people tick. I love seeing people enjoy the company of those around them, which is probably why weddings are my bag. You will usually find me hanging out with nana at weddings because her stories will fascinate me. 

Elena and I live with a grumpy rescue cat named Roger and two stinky dogs who Roger despises, but of course we love them all the same.

I have a son, he is my best mate and my pride and joy. He recently moved overseas and I am trying my hardest to adapt to our abode without him around every day.

I try to be kinder every day. And more like Ted Lasso - ‘be curious, not judgemental’.

My favourite movie of all time is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I have probably watched it a hundred times (I wish I was exaggerating).

I am incredibly clumsy and not at all sporty but I can rollerskate, ski and ride a skateboard (not very well).

Peak hour traffic makes me incredibly twitchy. It was the main reason I had to quit the 9-5.

Give me go-with-the-flow styled weddings any day. I am all about being in the moment, in life and at love-fests. Think less ‘a photo with this person and a photo with that person’ and think more a whole bunch of glorious love-filled in-the-moment moments.

I'd love to talk to you about your upcoming nuptials. Please head over to my contact page for more info.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
