Real Wedding

Iris Park Gardens // Amy + Luke

Mornington Peninsula Wedding Photographer – Iris Park Gardens

As a Mornington Peninsula wedding photographer, I have the joy of capturing couples’ most heartfelt moments in some of the region’s most stunning locations. Luke and his bride’s wedding at Iris Park Gardens was a perfect example of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Their Story

Luke and his bride first met in high school at an 18th birthday party when they were both just 17. A dance on the floor sparked something special, and by the end of the night, Luke had even gone home with her to her parents’ house! The very next day, he hung around, and their story began. Fast forward years later, and their love had grown into a bond worth celebrating.

The Engagement

Their engagement was as fun and unique as their personalities. On a hot 38-degree day on the Gold Coast, while visiting Noosa during the bride’s brother’s wedding, Luke convinced her to hike up a national park trail despite her playful complaints about the heat. When they reached the top, with breathtaking views behind them, Luke got down on one knee and proposed. Overcome with joy, she didn’t even let him speak before yelling “YES!”

The Wedding Day

Their wedding at Iris Park Gardens was a dream come true. The ceremony was intimate and surrounded by beautiful gardens, while the reception at Mr. Curtis was filled with laughter, dancing, and love. Every detail was thoughtfully planned—from the flowers by Tyabb Roses to the cake by Confetti Cakes and Creations.

The bride looked stunning in her Love Lena Bridal gown, and the groom was effortlessly sharp in M.J. Bale. Hair and makeup were perfectly done by Bessy at Shannon Eager Hair Design and Holly Davies, while Events by EC ensured everything ran smoothly. Music by Jimmy & Niki kept guests on the dance floor, and Mornington Limos provided seamless transport.

Capturing this beautiful day as a Mornington Peninsula wedding photographer was an absolute pleasure. From the intimate glances to the grand celebrations, every moment was full of joy, and I am so grateful to have documented their love story at Iris Park Gardens.
