Sarah & James

Updated: Aug 7

As a photographer, every wedding I capture holds its own special charm, but Sarah and James' recent celebration at di Lusso Estate in Mudgee was truly one-of-a-kind. Surrounded by friends and family, the day was filled with love, laughter, and delightful surprises that made it an unforgettable event. Check out some of the highlights from their gallery below:

The Venue

Di Lusso Estate, nestled in the heart of Mudgee’s wine country, provided a stunning setting for the wedding. The estate’s rustic elegance, with its rolling vineyards and Tuscan-inspired architecture, offered a picturesque backdrop for the day’s festivities. The serene and welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone for a celebration of love.

A Unique Ceremony

Sarah and James broke from tradition in the most enchanting way. Instead of the bride walking down the aisle, the guests took that journey, meeting the bride and groom, who were seated and waiting. This innovative twist created an intimate and inclusive atmosphere, allowing guests to feel like a vital part of the ceremony. It was a beautiful moment that I was thrilled to capture, filled with smiles and warm greetings as guests made their way to the couple.

The Bride's Stunning Black Dress

Adding to the unique nature of the day, Sarah chose to wear a stunning black dress instead of the traditional white. Her bold and elegant choice reflected her personality beautifully and added a dramatic flair to the occasion. The black gown stood out strikingly against the lush greenery of the estate, making for breathtaking photos and videos that captured her elegance and individuality.

Portraits in the Vines

One of the highlights of the day was capturing Sarah and James' portraits among the vineyard rows. The sprawling vines, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, provided an idyllic setting for these intimate moments. The love and connection between the couple were palpable, and the natural beauty of the surroundings enhanced the romance of each shot.

A Celebration to Remember

The reception was held in a charming alfresco setting, where guests enjoyed delicious food, fine wine, and lively conversation under the stars. The night was filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and dancing, as friends and family celebrated Sarah and James' union.

Capturing the Magic

My goal as the photographer and videographer was to capture the magic of this extraordinary day. From the unique ceremony and Sarah's striking dress to the stunning vineyard portraits, every moment was a testament to the couple’s love and creativity. It was an honour to document these memories, preserving them for the couple to cherish for a lifetime.
