Old Church Red Hill and Commonfolk wedding of Marianna and John

27 Mar

I had the privilege of being a part of Mariana and John's beautiful wedding celebration! I was particularly impressed by how they curated a day that truly reflected their personal vision for their special occasion. Their wedding was unique and deviated slightly from traditional norms.

The day commenced with an intimate family-only ceremony held at the charming Old Church Red Hill—a stunning location that set the perfect tone for the festivities. It was a heartwarming affair, with a smaller guest list fostering an atmosphere of intimacy, allowing the ceremony to unfold at a relaxed pace to accommodate both English and Portuguese speakers. Bailey, the couple's beloved kelpie, added to the joy of the day, entertaining both children and myself.

The ceremony, led by Celebrant Kat Sillars, maintained a wonderfully casual vibe. With the exchange of vows complete, we ventured to Flinders to capture some unforgettable moments amidst the breathtaking clifftops, braving a bit of wind and rain for the perfect shots.

While the ceremony was a private affair, the reception at Commonfolk was anything but. Mariana and John opted for the best of both worlds, choosing to share their joy with a larger gathering.

The reception was the epitome of celebration, with Mariana and John making a grand entrance in a sleek black Mustang before mingling with friends and family at the lively stand-up reception, complete with delectable canapés, drinks, and plenty of dancing.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your special day and to capture the precious moments. Thank you for the opportunity! Shannon
