Continuing on with some beautiful moments in black

Continuing on with some beautiful moments in black and white from Allysha and Marc's beautiful @montsalvatweddings day this year.

Some of our favorite moments fall in between all of the bigger, planned events of the day. Being a duo means we always tend to have one foot in the 'planned' day and the other dipped in behind the scenes, where the real moments are unfolding.

Sometimes it's a game of keeping things on time, and letting things breath when they need to. We always advocate for a schedule that allows for both- letting our couples immerse themselves in their day while feeling comfortable and present.

Portraits can happen throughout your day. There's no 'on / off' toggle for performance. This often means coming home with many, many photos to sort through. But refining them down to tell your story is the best part!

The lovely Allysha + Marc, highschool sweethearts

The lovely Allysha + Marc, highschool sweethearts with hearts of absolute gold!

When we met with them to chat about the most important things for them on their day, they mentioned that family, connection and time with eachother was paramount.

We loved exploring the beautiful grounds of Montsalvat with them post ceremony, on a day that was tipped to rain (but magically stopped).

Allysha wore a stunning @annetteofmelbourne gown and florals by @indigoflowerhouse adorned the stain glass windows at @montsalvatweddings

Thank you to the fabulous team who helped bring this day to life!

A few magical moments on film from Em + Mesh's intimate mountain top elopement.

We loved spending the day with these two! The day's plan revolved around an intimate gathering of VIP guests, a trip into town for coffee and a charcuterie board, dipped toes in the plunge pool and frolicking along the mountain top at sunset.

Very keen to sneak in a few more elopement days this year! Sing out if you'd like to chat about how we can work together ✨

When the question is 'can we get dressed up in our

When the question is 'can we get dressed up in our wedding attire and take photos with our cats?', the answer is obviously always going to be YES!

Gigi and Marco collaborated on the most amazing pre-wedding adventure with us, spread across two locations.

We started at home with their children, Yuzu and Sumo (in the days before they welcomed their 3rd, Emi). With many bribes we captured some family portraits and some portraits of the two of them, before heading off to the Mornington Peninsula.

We explored the beaches, got hit by a rogue wave, and spotted a rainbow... Honestly, ask us why we love a pre-wedding session, and this is the answer! A chance to capture portraits that aren't always possible on your wedding day, to take on new experiences and to spend some time hanging out together!

By the time the wedding day hits, we'll be ready for anything ✨

It's no secret that we love a black and white photo over here... But we also LOVE working with our couples to bring plenty of your own personality into your wedding day.

We worked with D+H to incorporate a few particular moments into their day that were super important to them- portraits with a convertible after dark (say less), a moment for some private vows in the morning, back to back. A first dance practice under the iconic Coombe oak tree.

A big part of our work is in the lead up to your day, to chat about these moments and work out what truly matters to you on your day. The rest will flow naturally!

A little slice of moments from the most beautiful

A little slice of moments from the most beautiful day with our faves Dee + Hinu, at the one and only @coombeyarravalley ✨

Right from the very beginning we could sense that this would be a super special day. D+H got ready on the same property in the morning, sharing a quick moment for some private vows, back to back.

With thanks to @beautybyhasini @seda.silk @beautybymalsha @florancia_mua for their amazing work on a busy morning!

We then headed to Coombe for a traditional Sri Lankan Poruwa ceremony- such a beautiful intentional ceremony, lead jointly by @rashansamsul and @weddingsbyshamini . Hinu entered with the amazing dancers from the Rangana and Udumbara dance troupe, and Dee to the sweet sounds of the team from Hey Jack.

The ceremony in the Italian gardens was beautifully decorated by @prettywildflowers , and the most delightful cake by @mali_bakes was awaiting them in the reception.

We braved the 35 degree heat (and rain?!) with our fave @lachyfilms ✨

After a little sunset sesh and dancefloor, they made a quick dash to their vintage convertible, and we grabbed a few shots before they left- honestly, we'll never tire of beautiful vintage cars at weddings!

Thank you Dee and Hinu for trusting us with your special day!
