About the day

One sunny summer day at Carlei Estate, love was in the air as a Scott and Emily’s beautiful wedding took place. The rustic charm of the location provided a relaxed and delightful setting for the couple and their guests to celebrate their special day.

Scott and Emily chose a first look under the giant Oak tree, which was heartfelt and emotional. With their precious pooches, Max and Gertie watching on, they were a very important part of the day. We then explored the property prior to the guest arrival so they could spend as much time as possible with their guests later in the day.

As the gentle breeze rustled through the trees, the bride and groom exchanged vows under La Terrazzo which provided guests shade yet, they could still enjoy views across to the mountain. The natural beauty of the estate’s surroundings added a touch of picturesque allure to the ceremony.

With the festivities in full swing, the party moved to a spacious indoor barn area where laughter, merriment, and joyful conversations filled the air. The couple had chosen a rustic theme for their wedding, and every detail reflected this charming and laid-back atmosphere.

We were able to duck out just in time to make use of the stunning sunset and captured some gorgeous images as the sun breathed its last light for the day with roos watching on in the background.

This wedding at Carlei Estate truly encapsulated the spirit of a fun, relaxed, rustic, and summery celebration.
