A Real Wedding at Inglewood Estate: Bastiaan and Georgina's Love Story

If you are searching for a love story that includes warmth, humour and heart to their ceremony, grab a cup of tea and settle in, because this one has it all: long distance love, a semester abroad, two cats, a dog, and a whole lot of laughter along the way.

As a Marriage Celebrant, I love nothing more than helping two people tell their story in front of the people who mean the most to them. Bastiaan and Georgina's story is one of long distance love, patience, and finally landing exactly where they were meant to be, together, in a stunning venue surrounded by native gardens.

Simon and Ally: The perfect elopement at Poodle, Melbourne.

Simon was clear from the start about what he didn't want: the grandiose, over the top elements that so often come with weddings. Ally felt exactly the same.

By the end of the night, back in the driveway, Sophie leaned in for their first kiss, and neither of them looked back.

Shenay and Joe’s beautiful Recoleta Wedding, Melbourne CBD.

Shenay and Joe took a slightly different approach to the traditional wedding day structure, and it worked beautifully. Just 31 guests joined them for the ceremony and lunch, keeping things close, personal, and warm. Then, later in the day, they opened the doors at Higher Ground for a post-wedding celebration - a cocktail party for 160 guests who came to toast the newlyweds in style.
