Talk about trust. This amazingly gorgeous couple booked me by email from Dublin and I finally got to meet them in person only days before their wedding day.
I knew I would love them. The way they spoke of one another meant I knew they would be special. Chloe calls Andrew her favourite person in the world, and Andrew said that he adores the love that Chloe has for everyone.
Yep, these two are special.
They were married on a beautiful sunny Saturday at Mansfield in country Victoria. They wanted a location that was special to them, and that meant something. “I am at my happiest when I’m at Mansfield” Chloe said, and it’s easy to see why. “The ceremony in the garden will be very special because we’ve said all along that we want to get married in a place that our children will be able to run around over in the future. Imagine sitting on the balcony in 20 years time, looking at that spot, and remembering back to such a wonderful day that we were able to share with all of our friends and family.”
Don’t you just want to cry?!
We started first with the very handsome groom-to-be and the rest of the boys preparing for the afternoon…
See, handsome! And he does a pretty mean Roger David impersonation (just ask him…)
The girls were just as gorgeous – and Chloe was absolutely born to be a bride. She was stunning.
As Chloe’s mum gave her a beautiful ring that her late grandmother had left to her for her wedding, I lost it. Chloe had tears, her mum had tears, I had tears – it was one of the most beautiful moments I have witnessed between mother and daughter at a wedding. This family is truly special.
Chloe sourced this amazing pin from overseas to add to her dress…
Love this image so much…
The ceremony and reception were held at Chloe’s parents farm in Mansfield overlooking the absolutely gorgeous rolling country Victorian hills in the distance. The sun was slowing setting as the day wore on and made for some absolutely glorious light for the couples shots afterwards.
There was such a wonderful attention to detail for this wedding – bottles of water for the ceremony, personalised vows during the ceremony that made me cry (although, that’s not hard… I cry at everything!) and even buses were arranged for the guests to ferry them to/from the reception and their hotels in town. Just loved this wedding so much.
Probably my favourite from the day…
Seriously…. could this reception have been any more gorgeous?! I think I could have just sat there staring in amazement at this beautiful tent all evening. One of these most elegant marquees I have ever seen.

What a beautiful wedding! You did an amazing job!
The last landscape, with the dead gum tree, took my breath away. I grew up in an area that looked something like this. Do you have any photos of the landscape alone? If yes, I would LOVE to buy a print, if they are available!
Thanks
