Tambo Farm


Cassie and Chris are the kind of couple who embody everything we love about country weddings—down to earth, hardworking, and deeply connected. They wanted a celebration that was true to their way of life, and Tambo Farm offered the perfect setting with its sweeping paddocks and rustic charm. When the venue reached out to Side by Side Weddings for ceremony styling and photography, we knew this would be a wedding filled with meaning and authenticity.


Cassie’s arrival was nothing short of special. She stepped out of a vintage pickup truck—her grandfather’s dream project, lovingly completed by her father only six weeks after his passing. Walking down the aisle on her father’s arm, past their closest family and friends, was a moment steeped in remembrance and love.


Their ceremony reflected who they are: short, simple, and honest. Cassie and Chris aren’t about frills—they’re about truth, real love, and a lifetime of working side by side.

After the vows, we wandered through open fields, surrounded by curious cows and the soft glow of an autumn sky. Cassie and Chris were completely at home in each other’s arms, their love shining through every moment. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get more meaningful, Cassie’s dad surprised everyone by driving the immaculate deep purple truck into the paddock for family portraits. Those photos—combining legacy, family, and love—are sure to be treasured for generations.


To complement their vibrant country portraits, we also captured part of the day on 35mm black and white film. There’s something irreplaceable about film—the texture, the grain, and the timeless quality it gives to a love story. These photos highlight the depth of Cassie and Chris’s connection in a way that feels raw and enduring, ensuring their memories will take pride of place on display in their family home.
