Jake and Michelle, from Maroubra Beach in Sydney’s south, were married at Redleaf Wollombi in the Hunter Valley during the lingering heat of late March — a day that felt both sun-soaked and softly romantic. An ode to Michelle’s Italian heritage, the celebration unfolded with intention; guests were welcomed with granita al limone before settling into a banquet-style dinner designed for sharing, conversation, and connection.

Set against the countryside of Wollombi, Redleaf has become one of the Hunter Valley’s most sought-after wedding venues for refined, design-led celebrations. What began as something gentle and understated gave way to energy — a day that evolved naturally into the kind of party that lingers long after it ends.

Captured through a blend of digital and 35mm film, the imagery reflects an editorial yet honest approach to wedding photography, balancing direction with presence so moments unfold with ease.
