grace and matt

WilloW farm wedding

Where do I even start.

Matt and Grace are people to whom relationships and community and family are everything, the kind of people who are always making sure everyone else is having a great time (someone described Matt as the guy that, probably at least once in the last year, has taken you aside at a party and told you how much he loved you). It even bleeds into what they do - Grace is a third generation emergency nurse and Matt is a doctor. They care.

And on this day that was brought back to them in spades. It might sound like a bit of a cliche, but the love and shared experience in the room was freaking palpable all day. During the speeches multiple people came up to each of them to hold a hand, or put an arm across a shoulder, wanting to share and support this beautiful moment with each of them. It’s a small gesture that I felt spoke volumes about who they are, and the love they engender in those they come across.

They bonded over a mutual love of outrageously good times and big nights, of the simple pleasure of a morning coffee and crossword sesh, of long drives to secluded beaches and rainy days in a van reading together. When they met he lived in Melbourne and she in Sydney but they both said it was never of question of would it work, just how.

And so they got married, at a wild and windy day at the outrageously beautiful Willow Farm in Berry. And when it was all done and dusted Adam from The Vintage Stylus ensured it quickly turned into a rager.

There are so many parts of this day and little narratives I want to draw attention to, from the beautiful - the looks on both Matt and his mum’s faces during his dad’s speech, and the look on Grace’s when Matt and a bunch of their mates surprised her with an INXS cover at the end of the night - to the absurd - one of their best mates young son aimlessly wandering around during the ceremony and being snatched away - but I think this time I will let the images tell the rest of the story. See what you see.

Enjoy
