Abbey and Caleb’s wedding at the National Gallery of Australia was a stunning blend of modern elegance and old Hollywood glamour. Despite the unexpected rain, their day was nothing short of magical, proving that a little bit of wet weather can’t dampen true love!
Their love story began ten years ago when they met on Tinder in their early twenties. Over the years, they have grown together, travelled the world, bought their first home, and welcomed a beautiful daughter into their lives. Their journey led to a romantic proposal at the Lake George lookout, a special tradition for them as they picked out their annual Christmas tree.
When it came to planning their wedding, Abbey and Caleb envisioned a sophisticated and timeless celebration. The National Gallery of Australia provided the perfect backdrop, with its incredible architecture and grand spaces. While the rain meant their original outdoor plans had to be adjusted, the gallery’s grand staircase offered a spacious and sheltered spot for their 100+ guests to gather, making for a dramatic and elegant setting.
One of the most special moments of the day was their heartfelt vows, a true reflection of their journey together. The speeches that followed were filled with laughter, happy tears, and beautiful memories shared by family and friends. As the evening progressed, Abbey and Caleb couldn’t wait to hit the dance floor, and they certainly made the most of it!
A unique highlight of their wedding was the opportunity to take their couple’s portraits inside the National Gallery, surrounded by world-class artwork. This rare privilege made for an incredibly special and intimate experience, and the resulting photos were nothing short of breathtaking.
When asked for advice to future couples planning their big day, Abbey and Caleb had two simple yet invaluable tips: enjoy the process and download Canva! Their relaxed and positive approach to wedding planning ensured they could truly soak in every moment of their celebration.
Abbey and Caleb’s wedding was a perfect reminder that no matter the weather, love always shines through. Their day was filled with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments, and I feel so honored to have captured their love story. Congratulations, Abbey and Caleb!
