Caiti And Jarrod - A bright and beautiful wedding in Melbourne
Caiti and Jarrod’s Portico Balcony Wedding
Caiti and Jarrod knew they wanted to have an epic day in a ‘more is more’ kinda way.
They started their day getting ready with their friends and fam, and then caught up with photographer extraordinaire - and one of my all time fav peope - Jackson Grant to take portraits so great they deserve to be featured at MOMA. Their ceremony was fun, bright and beautiful, with minimal flowers and maximum attitude. Their wedding featured Polly Pocket, witness bingo and a lot of laughs. She wore a classic super glam wedding dress and changed into a handmade corset, and he wore a classic tux for the ceremony and a wicked, customised Reigner jacket for the reception.
But what Caiti and Jarrod did so well is put fun at the front of their day. Everything was done with their guests fun levels considered. From drinks to a pizza party for dinner and a late night Maccas for soaking up the booze.

What they had to say
“Precious came as a recommendation from Jackson and boy are we happy he sent her our way!
We feigned neutrality when meeting with her the first time over Zoom, but both were already in love with her and were ready to sign the contract then and there! Her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent are second to none, and her amazingness is still spoken about whenever our wedding is brought up. She made sure everyone knew where to be and when to be there, from ushering guests into seats for the ceremony, getting our reception space set up and organising the chaos that was ‘The Quest’ – she took our rough timeline and made it a reality.
Precious is worth her weight in gold, and I don’t know if words can encapsulate just how much we love her and the work she did for us. Taking into account our needs and emotions on the day, giving the best pre-wedding nerve hugs and being the ultimate hype woman when feeling overwhelmed. We cannot forget the amazing ceremony she wrote either, somehow feeling like she has known us throughout our entire relationship and gifting us and our guests with the emotional rollercoaster that was our ceremony! Somehow doubling down and delivering the MC performance of a century at our reception, keeping things moving, acting as a mic stand for Jarrod’s nervous mum during her speech, or just being an all-out superstar in keeping things in check.”
