David and Ella’s wedding was an incredible day. 14 hours filled with joy, love, emotion, dancing, singing and celebrating. Being a doctor and a lawyer, you wouldn’t think these two would be very creative…and you would be wrong. David and Ella planned an amazing day involving surprise presents to each other in the morning, personalised vows, heartfelt speeches, choreographed dancing, and singing. Their reception was at Ormond Hall in St. Kilda, where David first proposed to Ella during a salsa dance. David & Ella sent me an invitation upon booking me for their wedding (love when couples do this!) and on it they had written a note about it being ‘AFL Grand Final Day’…since I’m new to Melbourne, I didn’t realise how significant this was! But traffic wasn’t a problem, and even the rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. Ella and David, thank you. It was an amazing privilege to witness and document the incredibly genuine love and devotion you have for one another. I hope you are having the best time in New York! xx

Special thank you to Amy Oliver for second shooting with me x

David made Ella an amazing book filled with photographs from throughout their relationship.

Their beautiful, intimate ceremony was held at Rippon Lea Estate.

We then went to Labassa, for some more dramatic photographs…

Practicing their first dance in an alleyway near the cafe. The cafe where we stopped before the reception for coffee and a bite to eat, I loved that we got to do this!

The amazing Ormond Hall.
