Some wedding days are perfectly planned. Others are perfectly felt.

Bronte and Shaun’s wedding sat firmly in the second category.

From the very first message Bronte sent, it was clear they weren’t interested in tradition for tradition’s sake.

They wanted a day that felt upbeat, intimate, family-orientated, and full of movement. Just a modern love story unfolding naturally, with great food, great energy, and the people who matter most right there with them.

If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that feels like a romantic escape to the Italian countryside (minus the long-haul flight) then Pietro Gallus Estate will be your dream Tuscan-inspired venue.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Warrandyte South, just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, this family-owned estate blends the rustic charm of Tuscany with the elegance of fine dining, award-winning spirits, and stunning views over their olive grove.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration in the Olivigna restaurant, an intimate wedding of up to 60 people in the La Terrazza, or a chic family-only private dinner in The Lounge, here’s your complete guide to weddings at Pietro Gallus Estate.

If you’re dreaming of a Sunnyside wedding that balances Vogue-inspired style with candid, in-the-moment storytelling, this one is for you.
Shanai and Joshua’s celebration is a beautiful example of how this venue comes to life when couples lean into its gardens, architectural spaces, and effortless coastal elegance. Their day was modern, editorial, and deeply personal. They focused on being present, celebrating with loved ones, and we worked together to create heirloom-worthy photographs that feel timeless and elevated.

From the moment you step inside, Pepe’s envelops you in rich textures, moody lighting, and a warmth that feels like the Amalfi Coast met New York’s Little Italy and landed in Melbourne.

If you’re after a wedding day that’s part garden party, part seaside soiree, and part modern-Mediterranean vibe, then Sunnyside Events on the Mornington Peninsula deserves top-spot on your shortlist.

An intimate city wedding with a couture mini, a magenta bouquet and a quietly joyful dinner at QT.

Some weddings are about grandeur, sprawling guest lists, and endless traditions.

But Danielle and Dean knew from the very beginning that what they wanted was something different: simple, heartfelt, and true to them.

On a crisp September day, with just twenty of their closest family members, they exchanged vows in the historic Old Treasury Building Melbourne before gathering at QT Melbourne for a stylish, laughter-filled dinner that felt more like a family celebration than a traditional reception.

The result was effortless, personal, and every inch a reflection of them.

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.

Tucked away on the western shores of Lake Como, framed by dramatic alpine peaks and sculpted gardens, Villa Balbiano is the kind of place you almost have to see to believe. And this shoot—starring the effortlessly stylish Eduardo and Francesca—was every bit as dreamy as the setting promised.
Set against the grandeur of one of Italy’s most iconic wedding venues, this editorial wasn’t about over-the-top opulence. It was about curated beauty, thoughtful detail, and the kind of magic that happens when you blend soft, modern styling with timeless European charm.
