Every now and again we photograph a wedding that is truly inspirational in its beauty and originality. This one is definitely one of them, as proven by Polka Dot Bride, who chose to feature it on their website.

This is what Fiona said about us: “Mladen from Objektiv Photography – what a professional. We are both not the most comfortable in front of the camera but he made sure he got what he needed from us and we were so grateful when we saw the photos. He caught the day perfectly.”

Fiona chose her wedding gown by Hob Nob Bridal, telling, “My dress was simple and classical. The moment I put it on I just felt happy and like I thought how a bride would feel.

Fiona’s bridesmaids wore custom made nude pink gowns with sequinned panels by Chakaleyla.

Botanica Naturalis created beautiful floral arrangements for the day, Fiona telling, “Our flowers were amazing. Anna from Botanica Naturalis was involved early in the piece and took all my crazy ideas and made them a reality. The aisle was a carpet of crunchy leaves with a hanging arbour at the end, the flowers in my hair were something out of a fairy tale and the bouquets were full of beautiful colours and sparkle, framed by native greenery.”

Fiona and Martin married at Brookside Vineyard, Fiona remarks, “We chose to have the ceremony and reception all at the vineyard as we didn’t want parts of the day cut out with traveling from one spot to the other, plus the venue was perfect for both. Brookside Vineyard is a small boutique winery with a gorgeous outlook, amazing wine and a fantastic restaurant – The Vineyard Kitchen.

Suzy Thom officiated the ceremony, Fiona remembering, “Our ceremony was beautiful, such joy! Our celebrant, Suzy Thom, made sure we crafted the whole thing to feel just like us. We didn’t want it to feel orchestrated or formal and it wasn’t. It was just warm and insanely happy!”

We had a jazz duo Rick Webster and Allira Wilson provide music for the ceremony and reception.
