gold sequin dress – Eric Ronald | Melbourne Wedding Photographer

It’s an absolute pleasure that I bring you Matisse & Goldy’s wedding. It all went down in St Kilda, Melbourne at the Prince Hotel.

Shooting weddings I’m always fascinated by various cultures, religions, traditions etc that I encounter. This was a Jewish wedding and like many other Jewish couples I’ve photographed, Matisse & Goldy wanted to stay true to their traditions while personalising the wedding and bring it into the new school. After you have a bit of a scroll I think you’ll agree they did just that. Much the delight of my eyeballs there was lots of plants. It was modern, elegant and stylish with a twist of Mad Men vibes. But enough about how it looked. This is a story about a two people in love.

It’s not always the case, but often the couples I work with are creative themselves. Matisse is a rock star nail artist at Miss Meow Nails (seriously take a look HERE). Andrew aka Goldy is a crazy talented film director (check out his truly amazing work HERE). When the couple are creative they tend to have plenty of personality, up for anything (including laying on carpark rooftops) and trust me entirely. Regardless of if you’re a creative couple or not though, in my opinion trust is a very important ingredient to making great pictures. Matisse and Goldy gave me that by the bucketload and the end result is one of my favorite Melbourne weddings to date. I hope you enjoy checking out their awesome day…

I’m really excited to be sharing another wedding with you from my home turf of Melbourne. In fact, Sarah & Rob’s wedding couldn’t be more Melbourne if they tried! Scroll down and you’ll see what I mean.

My favorite aspect of photographing this story was undoubtedly capturing the couple’s unique personalities and how they magically combine together. Sarah rocks a cheerful, energetic and vibrant vibe. While Rob can manage to keep up with his vivacious bride, he is very much a gentleman and represents the more chilled, calming influence of the two. They balance each other out perfectly. It was also a pleasure capturing these guys with their gorgeous little son, Sonny, who spent the day taking it all in with innocent curiosity and bewilderment. Sonny won’t likely remember it, which made it extra special for me capturing him being part of his Mum & Dad’s wedding.

I love that I work with REAL people. For Rob, he was quite nervous about the idea of having his picture taken. This is quite common with the couples I work with – rarely are bride and groom professional models. In my mind, it is part of my role to help break down those barriers and put my couples at ease so they feel comfortable and show their true character. I really loved being able to do that for these two.

So, I hope you enjoy perusing this heartfelt, fun and sparkly Melbourne wedding, just as much as I did photographing it.
