Melbourne Wedding Magic: A Love-Filled Journey with Chantelle & Kevin

July 15, 2023

Step into the enchanting world of Chantelle and Kevin’s love story, a tale that unfolded in the heart of Melbourne on a July day in 2023. As a photographer who adores rural weddings but also revels in the energy of city celebrations, I was thrilled to document this remarkable day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The logistics of this wedding were no small feat – a sprawling guest list, vast distances between the couple’s getting-ready locations, and a vision that demanded capturing every nuance of the day. To ensure everything ran seamlessly, I enlisted the help of the incredible Steph Wallis as a second photographer. A big shoutout to Steph for her calm demeanour, kind heart and skill in capturing beautiful photographs – a true pleasure to work with, and I look forward to future collaborations!

Now, let’s dive into the heartwarming chronicle of Chantelle and Kevin’s wedding day, an event that unfolded in the heart of Melbourne. The anticipation was palpable as Chantelle, the epitome of elegance, floated down the aisle at the magnificent church in Camberwell. The joy in Kevin’s eyes spoke volumes, reflecting the journey of love that led them to this magical moment. And guess what? July 15th wasn’t just a date on the calendar; it marked their 11th anniversary, a beautiful coincidence that added an extra layer of significance to the celebration.

The intimate ceremony at the cherished church Our Lady of Victory in Camberwell captured the essence of their journey, from the early days of dating to this moment of commitment. Kevin, overwhelmed with love, had known from the very first time he saw Chantelle that she was the one he would marry…..aaaaawwwww it is just so romantic!!!!!!

The reception at Leonda on the Yarra unfolded like a dream – twinkling lights, vibrant florals, laughter, and the clinking of glasses creating an atmosphere of pure joy. The venue, nestled in the suburb of Hawthorn, proved to be the ideal setting, earning its reputation as one of Melbourne’s acclaimed event venues. Leonda on the Yarra with its seamless service, proved to be the perfect canvas for the couple’s vision of elegance and relaxation. The recepetion room was decked out in classic green and white florals and a gorgeous installation was suspended over the dance floor.

The attention to detail at Leonda, from the reception lighting to the impeccable service and the delectable food, was truly next level. As someone who works at various venues, I can confidently say that it was a joy to capture the magic of Chantelle and Kevin’s day in such a wonderful setting.

Chantelle and Kevin’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration; it was a testament to the uniqueness of every love story. Eleven years of shared adventures led them to this day, and it was an honour to witness and capture their beautiful moments. They wove their wedding day wishes in to the celebration with some cultural traditions such as a candle lighting ceremony and a performance by traditional drummers. It was beautiful!!!!!!!! Their love, deeply evident in every photograph, serves as a reminder that love stories are meant to be written uniquely.
