Whoa, what a day it was!


Hayley & Rob hosted what we would call a mini festival in the stunning Quirindi Stables in Newlyn North, complete with the beautiful marquee and styling by the super talented folks at Elderberry Event Hire.


They got ready in Ballarat and swapped the traditional order of things by having a first look and portraits with their bridal party in Ballarat before their ceremony at the stables. All was followed by a mini session of them two in and around Quirindi. This all meant they could enter the reception shortly after the ceremony, and drink & dance their night away with their friends and loved ones.


These two fun humans (and their hilarious bridal party) were the best to be around and we enjoyed capturing every minute of their day. Everything was so relaxed and easy going and even the rain chose carefully when to fall and when to stay away (because how could it not for these legends?!).


Anyways, you better check their epic day out yourself - we'll leave you to it!
