Jessica & David
really good news
"We don't get together like this often. This feels significant."
David and Jessica wanted food as a vehicle for comfort, people dressed how they feel most themselves, and photos that felt like them rather than overly glam or curated. No pretense. No assumptions about what a wedding should look like. After the registry office ceremony they just spent quality time together. Wandering the CBD. A bakery pit stop. Chinatown in the afternoon light. There was an easiness to it, a curiosity, a playfulness. They mentioned Wes Anderson as visual inspiration, so I leaned into lines, composition, balance, colour. But really, they were just unapologetically themselves. Not trying to be main characters. Just two people in love deciding to get married. Dinner was thirty-five guests at the Oriental Tea House, shared plates passed hand to hand, connection built across the table. More and more I see couples doing this: a simple ceremony, then time spent in Melbourne together. It works because there's nothing to perform. Just the day, unfolding as it should.
