Rachael and Linc were never going to have a traditional wedding, they did it their way by getting married in an iconic Melbourne bar on Sydney Rd in Brunswick, and prioritising their favourite things (music, their pups, laughs with friends, each other). Rachael’s peachy flowers by Pomp and Splendour perfectly contrasted with her incredible blue hair, and she wore a comfy, low key wedding dress from Grace Loves Lace. No train was a prerequisite when dress shopping. These two adore their dogs, three corgis that are the centre of their universe, however they knew having the dogs at the wedding would stress them out so instead chose to project three huge images of them onto the majestic Brunswick Mess Hall arches. Rachael walked down the aisle to soul classic, “Hold on, I’m coming” and couldn’t help but dance. I loved so many things about this day a highlight for me was their DJ, Vince Peach. Vince Peach is a soul DJ from PBS, I love his show and to be able to listen to him DJ live for hours while working and get a photo of him was way more exciting than it ought to have been. And importantly to them there wasn’t a typical ‘wedding song’ in sight, no Ed Sheeran for these guys. I’m so stoked these two awesome humans found me and involved me in their unique wedding day!
The Epicurean Red Hill Wedding | Mikaela and Jason
The Epicurean Red Hill is a stunning and unique Mornington Peninsula wedding venue, where Mikaela and Jason decided to tie the knot. This venue is really popular not only because it’s aesthetically gorgeous, it’s also a foodies dream. I absolutely love shooting there because I know the meal is going to be incredible every time (perks of the job!). Mikaela and Jason are a really laidback, warm couple who wanted their day to be one big party, and Epicurean Red Hill delivered, as you can see in the photos below, but another great thing about this wedding venue is that you don’t need to go far for portraits. There’s a nice little bush track right behind the venue with lots of lush trees and scrub which are a gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos. All the wedding portraits below were taken within a 60sec walk of the venue.
