Chic CBD Engagement Session

On a crisp June day in Melbourne, surrounded by candlelight, velvet hues, and splendid heritage architecture, Shona and Bradley celebrated a winter wedding that was as timeless as it was wildly joyful.

Their celebration unfolded across three iconic locations—St Mary’s Catholic Church, the leafy serenity of St Kilda Botanical Gardens, and the chandelier-lit grandeur of Quat Quatta. 

But before the vows, before the velvet, before the backflips on the dance floor—it all started with a dent in a Silverado.

If you’re dreaming of a warm, rustic wedding venue in Melbourne that feels both grounded in nature and beautifully elevated—Warrawong Estate might just be your perfect match.

Tucked into 185 acres of rolling hills and open skies in Eynesbury (just 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD), this heritage-listed estate is a hidden gem for couples who love a blend of countryside charm, timeless detail, and unforgettable photo backdrops.

When the dress is this good, you don’t just go out to dinner—you throw a party.

Laura spotted the dress—the Rachel Gilbert Francesca Star Gown—one day and instantly knew: it wasn’t just a dress. It needed a moment. A grand entrance. A reason to gather every person they loved in one room.

So she turned to Dan, her high school sweetheart of eleven years, and said: I need something REALLY special to wear this to.

And so, they got engaged.

Cue: a night full of sparkle, wild dancing, heartfelt speeches and just the right amount of chaos—in the best possible way.
