Some couples you photograph once.

Some couples you’re lucky enough to walk beside, chapter by chapter.

Andrea and Ingrid are firmly in the second category.

You’ve already seen their windswept beach engagement session. You’ve shared in their intimate city registry ceremony. And now? Now it was time for the party — one month married, wildly in love, and ready to celebrate properly with their people.

From the moment the day began at Forest Hills Conference Centre, the energy was electric. Another custom suit by Tailor on the Road. Another breathtaking gown. A full wedding party buzzing with excitement. And yes — the iconic “groom-to-be” balloon setup, which I loved so much and absolutely abused for photos.

While we planned a quiet, intimate first touch, Ingrid had other ideas — joy bubbling over into a full first look with the entire wedding party. And honestly? Perfection. From there, it was off to our much-loved Chateau Wyuna, where Andrea and Ingrid renewed their vows with all the trimmings. Hearing personal vows after they were already married somehow hit even harder — proof that love doesn’t need to be new to be powerful.

As guests enjoyed elegant canapés in the treetop room, Josh from Pendant Media and I wandered the grounds with these two, capturing those “we just got married AGAIN” feelings — the laughter, the quiet looks, the absolute glow that only comes from being deeply, comfortably in love.

Then came cake cutting. Then came dancing.

And wow — the dancing.

I have never seen 26 people shake a dance floor like that. Every generation showed up, the floor never rested, and the choreographed first dance? Sultry, powerful, and the perfect tone-setter. A close second highlight was Andrea and Ingrid seated in the middle of the floor while their friends danced, posed, and cheered all around them — pure celebration in human form.

Add in the Italian tradition of auctioning off the groom’s tie (someone please explain it to me), endless laughter, and a bouquet toss won by Ingrid’s brother with an AFL-worthy catch, and you have a night that will live on in legend.

Andrea and Ingrid, photographing you for the third time has been an absolute honour. We wish you many, many, many more years of love, laughter, and dance floors that don’t quit — and we truly hope this won’t be the last time we get to party with your people.

You are art. And your joy? Completely unforgettable.
