Ms Herbert told Perth Now: ‘I think a lot of people get too sentimental when it comes to their wedding dress.’
‘If I paid $20,000 for (the dress) then I probably wouldn’t have gone in the water with it but as it turned out, the dress was completely fine after we took it to the dry cleaners anyway.
‘It’s something unique which we will cherish and look back on,’ she added.
The couple were asked to do practice shots on paddle boards because of the risk involved in the underwater shoot

Ms Hitchcock said: ‘It’s a beautiful area and a lot of the pictures were taken in different places near and around the jetty.’
