Love and Laughter, in colour AND black and white
Jessie and Dave first found Side by Side Weddings at the Mornington Wedding Expo, where the first thing we noticed was the way Dave’s big puppy eyes softened every time he looked at Jessie, and the way her gorgeous, infectious smile never seemed to fade. Their little boy had inherited the best of them both – the sweetest smile, the deepest dimples, and eyes that could melt anyone’s heart.
With full-time jobs and a young family, wedding planning was feeling like a mountain. They were relieved to discover we could not only create a beautiful, meaningful ceremony but also capture every single moment of their day – all in one seamless package. As soon as Jessie flipped through our albums featuring gorgeous real couples of all shapes and sizes, she put her hand on Dave’s arm and said, “THIS is how I want to remember our wedding day.”
We customised our Intimate Affair package with a couple of extra photography hours, ensuring there was no rush – just space to breathe, enjoy, and be present. Jessie chose a stunning white native floral arbour from The Styled Bouquet, perfectly placed on our wooden triangle arbour, greenery, and lanterns to complete the look at The Briars of Mt Martha's amazing marquee wedding space. On the big day, storms rolled in, but the undercover spaces and our trusty umbrellas kept everyone dry – and those dramatic clouds added a richness to the sky that made the photographs even more striking.
One thing our couples love? We deliver all your fully edited images in both colour and black & white, so you can choose your absolute favourites without us making that call for you. For Jessie and Dave, this meant two complete galleries – one vibrant, one timeless – each telling their love story from beginning to end. From the magical moment the sun broke through during Jessie’s vows, to the laughter-filled speeches, the rain-kissed portraits under the trees, and the packed dance floor, their day was captured exactly as it felt – joyful, emotional, and completely theirs.
Why choose between colour and black & white when you can have both? Let us capture every version of your love story so you can relive it exactly how you want to. Get in touch here to start planning your perfect wedding coverage.
