A Homegrown Love Story


When one of Melbourne’s top wedding photographers chooses you to capture their friends’ wedding because they want to relax and be a guest — well, that’s an honour we don’t take lightly.


Alison and Travers welcomed Chris and I into their lives with open hearts, and their beautiful lifestyle property in Chirnside Park set the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration. Originally planning to marry at their own winery, renovations shifted the location to their home — and honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

With dusky blues, soft sage, and native blooms everywhere you looked, the whole day felt like a romantic daydream. Their children stood proudly by their sides as attendants and witnesses, and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight when Alison made her elegant entrance across the lawn. Those first few moments — the looks, the deep breaths, the overwhelming joy — that’s exactly what we’re there to capture.


And because there were two of us, nothing was missed. One of us focused on the emotion and stillness of their vows, while the other was ready to capture the moment the confetti burst into the air — laughter, tears, and all.

A grazing table to end all grazing tables, heartfelt speeches, and the kind of love that you feel in your bones made this day something truly magical. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Alison reappeared in a stunning mini reception dress and surprised everyone with a second “first” dance. Cheered on by their nearest and dearest, the party rolled on joyfully into the night.


This is what it’s all about: real connection, beautiful chaos, and the kind of love that feels like home.
