Matt and Ariana recently tied the knot at the stunning Acacia Ridge in the picturesque Yarra Valley. Definitely one of my fave venues in the valley with it’s incredible views and jaw dropping open air marquee. It was a wedding to remember, with guests traveling from various parts of the world to be a part of their special day. Keren Loyer, as always delivered the most gorgeous and heart felt ceremony for this beautiful pair whilst acting as MC in the evening.
Matt and Ari were not expecting to find love. Both attending the now infamous Burning Man festival amongst thousands of other fans, Ari’s interest piqued when she heard Matt’s broad Aussie accent. Needing to know more, she struck up a conversation and they quickly knew that each other were the one.
As a photographer, capturing the essence of this global celebration was a true delight. The vibrant spring flowers, blooming in an array of colors, added an extra touch of freshness to the photos. The lush greenery of the Yarra Valley served as a stunning backdrop, making every picture come alive. Ari chose sunflowers – her favourite flower for herself and the girls.
The wedding itself was a reflection of Matt and Ariana’s fun-loving personalities. From the moment they said “I do,” their love and happiness radiated throughout the venue. The smiles on everyone’s faces were contagious, creating a joyful atmosphere that made every shot an absolute pleasure to take. The ever so popular pair included their large group of friends and family – 8 on each side of the wedding party!
Ariana’s Dad sung whilst they performed their first dance, such a heartfelt moment. The young and vibrant crowd then danced the night away with some epic tunes from a friend of the bride and groom. What a day!
