Hawthorn Wedding Photographer – Documenting the big day

Sophan and Adam chose the impressive “Immaculate Conception Catholic Church Hawthorn” for their ceremony. A wonderful church in the middle of Hawthorn. It was not far from their reception venue “Leonda by the Yarra”. The ceremony in Hawthorn was planned fairly late in the day – so we knew we had not too much sunlight left in the day. This is unfortunately very typical for winter weddings – so make sure you know your sunset times.

But how lucky were we? Have a look at the wedding photos below and you will see that we definitely made the most out of the short photoshoot we had.

Creative and Photojournalistic Wedding Documentation in Hawthorn

Melbourne put on the most beautiful winter day with lots of sunshine for us. We chose a nearby park location in Hawthorn for the wedding photos. We made sure to capture the last sunlight and make the most out of the short time we had. The wedding function at Leonda by the Yarra was held in the Garden Room. Leonda is a great wedding venue close to the Melbourne CBD with plenty of parking and lots of different photo opportunities directly at the venue.

Enjoy the photographs of this fantastic wedding in Hawthorn.

Greek Orthodox Church – St Catherine in Malvern

We have seen a few churches in Melbourne. St Catherine in Malvern has to be one of the most beautiful Greek Orthodox churches for a wedding in Melbourne. Massive chandeliers and lots of breathtaking decorations in gold make it a breathtaking scene. Plenty of space for lots of wedding guests. An impressive Greek church in Malvern, Melbourne.

The ceremony did not last too long and everyone lined up to quickly congratulate the newlywed couple.

Wedding Photography at the Prahran Hotel

After the family wedding photos in a park close to St Catherine church in Malvern, the bridal party ventured to the Prahran Hotel. Three black vintage cars made for a stylish transport option and lots of space for the whole bridal team.

After the wedding ceremony, the couple deserved a little break and the modern space in the Prahran Hotel was just stunning. The hotel just got recently renovated and the architecture with the stacked concrete pipes and central courtyard is bold and modern. An ideal venue for small and big parties. There are lots of private spaces and room for bigger groups.

A few cocktails, beers and some great food was served. Of course, we couldn’t resits using the space for a few wedding photos. The modern architecture just asks for some beautiful wedding photos. The vintage wedding cars parked directly in front of the Prahran Hotel and the couple had not far to walk before we all drove off to the big function.

A wedding at Leonda by the Yarra, Hawthorn

Plain white space, a glowing oversized LOVE sign, hundreds of guests, a perfectly decked out event space, a stylish bar, a fun photo shoot and a wonderful wedding couple. The ingredients for the perfect wedding party at this Hawthorn wedding venue.

The event space in Hawthorn at Leonda by the Yarra looked amazing. You have direct access to the Yarra river and Leonda by the Yarra is one of the biggest stylish event and wedding venues in Melbourne. The elegant venue has even a private jetty. Unfortunately, we did not have much of a sunset on this wedding day and we decided not to use the riverbanks for a photoshoot. But the modern entrance area is plain white and leaves plenty of space for wonderful simple shots. Just ideal for wedding photography and much suited for our couple.

After a quick freshen up in the bridal suite the couple made a big entrance and was warmly welcomed by all their guests (some travelled quite far to attend). Leonda by the Yarra created a delicious menu (yum). Emotional wedding speeches, cake cutting, the first dance,  … but then the party started. As soon as the greek music played the dancefloor was packed and old and young was having fun. Crazy times.

A wonderful wedding … congratulations Katherine & Nick.Thanks for having us as your wedding photographers.
