From a romantic mountain top proposal, to seamlessly arranging their special day, this perfect pair remained true to their laid-back, loved-up selves.
It was nestled among the olive groves of stunning venue Oyl that local sweethearts Adam and Tiffany stood before their favourite people and vowed to be each other’s forever. Their evening continued at Jack Rabbit, where not even a havock-wreaking storm could stop the relaxed newlyweds from smiling. It was with the support of much loved and talented family and friends that Adam and Tiffany’s wedding day dreams came to life.
Relaxed romance would best describe their beautiful Bellarine celebration, that lit up the room with love and was captured by Duuet Photography.

Favours: The making of our favors was a bit of a family affair – everyone was so kind in offering their help. We gave our guests succulents that my aunty grew for us and planted in copper tins that my dad collected and painted. We also gave them little bottles of olive oil to represent getting married in the olive groves – Mum was in charge of these!
Cake: Our cake was made by Adam’s talented sister Renae from ‘Cake Love at Pindari’. It was a four tiered semi-naked cake made from white chocolate mud. Each tier had a different flavour ganache: toblerone, caramel and white chocolate.
Stationery / Signage: I designed all of our stationery myself with the help of Eden Nairi’s beautiful calligraphy. Bloominel did our signage and our table numbers came from Thicket and Thatch.
