Some couples leave things to chance.

Claire is not one of those people.

Before we even talk about the architecture, the styling, or the dance floor that stayed packed all night, we need to talk about the fact that Claire hired not one, but THREE different Etsy witches to cast a very specific weather spell for her wedding day. 

The brief? No rain. Partly sunny. Somewhere between 22 and 27 degrees.

And quite surprisingly, it worked.

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.

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.

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.

Monique and Matt celebrated their engagement with a romantic photoshoot in Melbourne’s CBD in early April 2024. When choosing their wedding venue they were torn between a city wedding and a Yarra Valley winery wedding. Ultimately, they ended up booking Stones of the Yarra Valley so the choice of location for their engagement shoot was easy: the city!
