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.

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.

After the joy and whirlwind of your wedding day, there’s something truly magical about seeing your wedding photos printed as tangible works of art. Fine art prints elevate those emotional moments beyond just a digital screen, letting you relive the beauty of your big day every time you see them displayed in your home.

But you might be asking—should you print your wedding photos? Here’s why the answer is a resounding yes.

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!
