BRETT + NGAN

The highlight for us with this beautiful wedding was Brett and Ngan’s personal vows. We love how couples personalities and love for each other come out on their wedding day and to capture is just something special. The stunning backdrop of The Botanical Garden’s Woman’s Pioneer Memorial Garden is a sight for sore eyes and it was perfect for Brett and Ngan to witness their marriage.

Brett and Ngan’s choreographed first dance routine was beautifully executed and shared an intimate timeline of their travel adventures just before they walked in by the theme of Murad Osmann’s “Follow Me” ending in a shot of Brett and Ngan on their wedding day.

Congratulations to the loving couple Brett And Ngan.

SALVADOR + RIZABEL

The quirkiness of Salvador and Rizabel is evident in the way they show their love for each other such as presenting the wedding rings in a Pokeball at the ceremony and Salvador super awesome speech incorporated with game quotes and ending the speech in saying “Rizabel is his Final Fantasy”. The day was fun and full of laughs although their quirkiness never overshadowed their love for each other…

Congratulations Salvador and Riz on a blessed beautiful day and we hope you cherish each other’s love each and every day.

And we’ll leave you with a quote “Love is the only game two can play and both can win”…

RUBEN + LIANNE

Sari meets Barong – The lovely Lianne wore a beautiful traditional sari dress to honour Ruben’s Sri Lankan background while Ruben sported the barong as a tribute to Lianne’s Filipino heritage. They looked great and it was very nice to see their love and respect for each other’s family and their traditions.

The tight knit family and friends on both sides made this wonderful occasion a memorable and fun filled day. Ruben was full of laughs and jokes and Lianne couldn’t stop radiating her beautiful smile.

Congratulations again Ruben and Lianne, you guys were amazing and so relaxed and calm. Most likely from Lianne’s great planning and many revisions of the running sheet.

MIKE + LILY

These two love birds thought they had everyone fooled in the office about their relationship but little did they know, everyone knew about their secret. Shortly after, Lily pursued her career in London and Mike couldn’t let the love of his life go so he followed in her footsteps and also made London his home. How romantic and sweet!!!

Fast forward to their special day, everyone looked amazing and the day was absolutely gorgeous. The groom and groomsmen stood out sporting some bright yellow socks, there was lots of sisterly love in the air (all the bridesmaids were Lily’s sisters) plenty of wine being consumed and even a McDonalds run during photo shoots. They were so relaxed when they were getting ready just before the ceremony and before Lily put on her dress, she even got a brief moment of sleep at the hotel room.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Jones who will continue their journey and careers together in a land far far away called London.

MATT + GWEN

They say your first love was the one that got away, for this couple ‘the one’ didn’t get away. A connection sparked from early high school which has built a strong foundation in their relationship and love for each other.

With no shortage of friends, Matt and Gwen were blessed to have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen to share their wedding day every step of the way. We had so much fun on the day capturing them stopping traffic, having a casual basketball game, taking over the banks of the Yarra and a boat ride to the reception which was full of water works and emotion from heartwarming messages from the bridal party to Matt and Gwen.

The day was full of love and surprises. We particularly loved the aisle runner created by the bride and her bridesmaids which presented a trip down memory lane of Matt and Gwen’s journey from high school sweet hearts to when he put a ring on it. It was definitely a day to remember and the party kept on going even after the reception.

We just want to congratulate the beautiful couple on a journey that is full of love, challenges (children) and happiness.

KATSU + LIZ

It’s not everyday you meet a couple as fun as these two love birds. A beautiful love story of how Melbourne meets Tokyo. Although from different worlds, the two met through the universal language of dance.

Big in the b-boy and hip-hop scene in Japan, Katsu and the boys went all out busting some moves throughout the wedding and especially on the dance floor. For their first dance, we were told there was no set choreography but there will be friends and family jumping in and out of the dance floor to the catchy and bouncy tune of ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. We knew this was going to be a fun night and a spectacle they did give us. The party started way before the dancing but this put the night up to a whole different level.

It was a rare and beautiful moment when Katsu’s aunty and uncle wished the newlyweds a happy and loving marriage by singing a classic Japanese love song as everyone whisked down wine and cocktails just before the reception doors opened. It was such a wonderful gift that we had to include it into the video.

Here’s the lyrics to the song:

‘Koko Ni Sachi Ari’ (Here is Happiness)

Arashi mo fukeba
Ame mo furu
Onna no michi yo
Naze kewashi
Kimi o tayori ni
Watashi wa ikiru
Koko ni sachi ari
Aoi sora

Here, oh here is happiness
When I can be close to you
In the warmth of your caress
I’m happy here with you
Please say you’ll never leave me
I know that it would break my heart
I want to be near you always
For here, oh here is happiness

Fun, laughs, love and dancing is a great mix for a wedding but Liz and Katsu’s was much more than that and it was absolutely evident in the way they brought a big piece of their love and culture into their wedding day. We wish the newlyweds an amazing journey together and we hope their hearts continue to dance as one.

ANDY + OANH

Andy and Oanh’s paths connected as high school sweethearts on a 14 year journey to discover love and commitment; a private experience that took place in their hearts.

Oanh was a stunning, classic bride who radiated with the warmth of the sun on the picture-perfect Melbourne day. It was a gorgeous garden themed wedding with family and friends who were ready to celebrate with bottomless glasses!

The special day began with the big beats of the lion dances during their Vietnamese traditional tea ceremony, to the gorgeous garden ceremony overlooking Fitzroy gardens at the Old Bandstand. As the sun set we had picturesque views of Melbourne’s docklands as guests flowed through the reception for the party to begin.

Andy’s laugh was infectious and his groomsmen didn’t fail to entertain throughout the day. We’re so privileged to be part of capturing such a special day with Andy and Oanh, not only to tell visually articulate the essence of the day but to share this moment as friends too.
