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. They wanted something relaxed and informal, somewhere their people could be close enough to feel like witnesses rather than an audience. Poodle gave them exactly that. An intimate setting where the focus stayed exactly where they wanted it: on each other, and on the handful of people who mean the most to them.
Sophie & Meg: A Cocktail Wedding at The Farm Yarra Valley Full of Love, Laughter and One Very Good Boy Named Scout.
Sophie and Meg's love story began the way so many modern love stories do: with a swipe and a brave little "hi!" on Tinder. Their first date saw Meg pick Sophie up in her now infamous red Honda Jazz for Mexican food, followed by a movie at the drive in.
By the end of the night, back in the driveway, Sophie leaned in for their first kiss, and neither of them looked back.

There's a particular kind of wedding that sticks with you long after the last song plays — and Megan & Josh's day at Rupert on Rupert in Collingwood was exactly that.
Loud in the best ways, unapologetically themselves, and built on ten years of genuine partnership, this was a wedding that felt like walking straight into the middle of a great love story already in progress.
Angie & Josh's Zonzo Estate Yarra Valley Wedding | Classic Romance with a Modern Twist
Angie and Josh knew they wanted a wedding day that didn’t take itself too seriously, but that would be a great reflection of them. They both pictured Josh standing at the front, waiting for Angie to walk down the aisle with her mum and dad.
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.
