REAL WEDDING
HANNAH + CHLOE
PHOTOGRAPHY | JANE FITZGERALD PHOTOGRAPHY
Hannah and Chloe’s wedding was a vibrant celebration of love and individuality, a day that truly reflected their personalities and shared journey. The couple first crossed paths at the Albert Park Football Club in 2022, a meeting far from a typical rom-com but perfectly suited to their sense of humour and energy.
“What started as a lift to training quickly became a friendship, then a situationship… and eventually something far more meaningful,” recalls Chloe. Their first kiss, during a footy trip in playful costumes, foreshadowed the joy and spontaneity that would define their relationship.
Exactly one year before the wedding, Hannah proposed on the windswept beaches of Torquay. With careful planning, a handwritten letter titled Today is the Day and a last-minute photographer, Hannah created an unforgettable moment. “Despite the wild weather and sand everywhere, Hannah got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever together. After just enough of a pause to keep her nervous, I said yes,” adds Chloe.
The planning process was swift yet thoughtful. Hannah, with meticulous efficiency, finalised the vision in just two weeks, leaving their vendor team both impressed and inspired. The couple’s focus was authenticity over tradition, ensuring every element represented their lives, families and friends. The ceremony, led by best friend Kylie and accompanied by a legal celebrant, featured live music by Chloe’s friend Amalia and her partner Julian, creating an intimate atmosphere that resonated with every guest.
Celebrating with 130 loved ones, Hannah and Chloe embraced a modern romantic aesthetic. Rich reds, pinks and whites layered with lush greenery which complemented their gowns by Made With Love Bridal and Ferrari Formal Wear while the bridal party donned tailored suits by YSG Tailors. A playful second look in mini dresses paired with white Nike Court runners allowed them to dance the night away, tambourines in hand, to J.Lo’s Let’s Get Loud.
Among the most poignant moments were the couple’s walk down the aisle as wives, the inclusion of their 14-year-old pug Hurley and tributes to family members no longer present. “Walking down to my parents’ wedding song was a profoundly emotional tribute,” reflects Chloe. For Hannah, honoring her late grandmother with a reserved seat and photo was equally significant.
Ultimately, the day celebrated connection, laughter and love.
“We didn’t want it to look like a wedding seen before on social media – we wanted it to be so unique to us,” says Chloe.
Their advice to couples planning their own weddings is simple. Embrace authenticity, trust your people and savour every moment of building a life together.
