On a beautiful summer day, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kate and Liam's intimate wedding at a private property in Gippsland. Fun fact about me, I actually grew up in the area so it was so special to be able travel back home to capture their wedding. Gippsland is a gorgeous part of Victoria, just east of Melbourne it's known for it's rolling green hills and beautiful beaches and lakes. It could be nostalgia talking, but honestly it's a dream location to photograph a wedding at.
Kate and Liam planned a wholesome ceremony at Kate's childhood home, followed by a reception at the local balls club (Which is a very country thing to do) Their family and friends loaded out wood benches, a speaker, and some flowers to a spot they had chosen under a beautiful old tree in the front yard. It was totally a pop-up wedding. No coordinators, no staff. Just their family coming together to create something special. One big emphasise on the day was their beautiful children who played such a big role. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how kids will cope with the stress and commotion of a wedding. But it being in such a familiar setting surrounded by loved ones, I guess they were able to stay relaxed and evidently have a very fun time.
Gippsland is a perfect place for a wedding, whether it's at epic venues such as Mewburn Park Homestead, The Grove Gippsland or just at a private property like Kate and Liam, you can't go wrong with this stunning region.

"We wish we could give Lachlan more than five stars! From beginning to end he really was the best professional we worked with for our wedding. He's a great communicator, super organised and proactive and totally took the stress out of our couple photo sessions. We'd never done anything like it before but Lachlan made us feel super relaxed. The photos are so much better than we could have hoped for and are a real work of artistry! Thank you Lachlan, you are a joy to work with. We are grateful for you :)"
