A Colourful and Bold Wedding at HQ ThirtyFour, Canberra ACT – Grace & Sinan

Grace & Sinan’s wedding at HQ ThirtyFour was nothing short of a vibrant celebration, filled with love, laughter, and all the things that make a wedding day unforgettable. Their journey to this moment started in the most modern of ways—on Hinge! After a few days of chatting, they met for their first date, which lasted an incredible six hours. They sat in a park, shared bacon and egg rolls, and talked the entire time. Just two days later, they had their second date, which also lasted six hours. From that moment, they knew they had found something truly special.

Fast forward to July 2023, and Sinan pulled off the perfect surprise proposal. On what seemed like a completely normal Tuesday morning, they took their dog for a walk before work. The air was crisp, the fog hung low, and the sun was just beginning to rise over the woodland near their home. It was there, in that quiet, peaceful moment, that Sinan asked Grace to marry him—with their beloved pup by his side. A simple yet beautifully heartfelt proposal that was so them.

When it came to planning their wedding, Grace and Sinan embraced a theme that reflected their personalities—colourful, bold, and relaxed. From the lively florals to the joyous atmosphere, their day at HQ ThirtyFour was a perfect blend of fun and elegance. Grace was most excited about the moment she would walk down the aisle to see Sinan waiting for her, while Sinan couldn’t wait to celebrate with all their favourite people in one place.

And what a celebration it was! Every detail of their day reflected their love story—authentic, full of laughter, and shared with those who mean the most to them. From heartfelt vows to energetic dance moves, it was a wedding that radiated happiness from start to finish.

For couples planning their own wedding, Grace and Sinan have some words of wisdom: Don’t overthink it. Trust your instincts—no one knows your style better than you do. Avoid asking for too many opinions, plan it together, and, above all, keep a spreadsheet!

Capturing Grace & Sinan’s wedding was an absolute joy. Their love, their energy, and their beautiful story made every moment a dream to photograph. If you’re looking for fun and authentic images of your own love story, I’d love to be there to capture it all!
