REAL WEDDING

GEORGIA + MATT

PHOTOGRAPHY   |  FERN & STONE

Matt and Georgia’s love story began in high school. Despite the age gap, Georgia couldn’t help but admire Matt’s undeniable charm. Their connection deepened as Matt happened to be best friends with one of Georgia’s childhood buddies. Fast forward to a memorable weekend along the Great Ocean Road, where their journey took a momentous turn.

Their weekend getaway started with a heartwarming family night. The real magic happened when they arrived at a charming beachside cottage, the perfect backdrop for a life-changing event. The day began with a tranquil morning walk, followed by a romantic picnic that saw Matt getting down on one knee to propose. Afterward, they savoured a delectable lunch and a sunset swim added a touch of enchantment to the day. To cap off their celebration, they spent a few nights in Sorrento with their closest friends.

The couple was fortunate to have faced minimal obstacles in their wedding planning, thanks to a lack of Covid-19 restrictions. Their greatest challenge was finding the perfect venue, a place that resonated with them both. The moment Georgia set foot in Jack Rabbit Vineyard, she knew it was the one. A serendipitous sign even appeared when the song she would later walk down the aisle to played in the venue’s restroom.

Their guest list comprised 120 cherished friends and family members, a testament to their desire for a simple, relaxed and timeless celebration that allowed the venue’s natural beauty to shine.

For the big day the dress code was formal. Matt looked dashing in a tailor-made suit from the Suit Concierge, opting for an ivory jacket, black pants and a bow tie. Georgia wore a stunning dress by Mariana Hardwick, which she customised with sleeves. She paired it with adorable bow heels and Dior pearl earrings.

As for memorable moments, every second of their special day held a place in their hearts. The couple stole away for sunset photos where they were treated to a breathtaking sunset that left an indelible mark.

Their advice to other couples embarking on the journey of marriage? Stay true to yourselves, have fun and savour every moment because it passes by in the blink of an eye. In their words, ‘Be true to yourself! You can really tell when a couple isn’t. And enjoy every moment, it’s over so quickly.’
