Andy + Olivia

“Jam you were absolutely perfect on the day, everything from your speech to your killer outfit (you got a lot of compliments from our guests ) We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant - thank you so much again for being part of our day!”

Andy and Olivia are the ultimate adorable power-couple in the world of online games design.

Their paths crossed IRL back in 2017 when they both attended a get together for the Melbourne video games design community, at the now defunct Bar SK in Collingwood. Olivia recalls being on the same table as this guy with ‘a lot of energy’. It wasn’t until her journey home looking through photos from the event that she recognised that guy as the @andybrophy she knew from Twitter. So she promptly slid into his DMs to say how lovely it was to meet ‘meet’ him offline.

They met up again a couple of months later when Andy invited Olivia along to his housewarming party. There were real sparks flying that night as they instantly connected with one another and danced together all night long. Andy fell head over heels for Olivia and embarked on an epic courtship, with them eventually spending time with each other almost every day and realising that they were so similar in almost every way.

Andy proposed to Olivia as they took their brand new furbaby Nene aka Cinnamon Angel for a walk in between Melbourne’s pandemic lockdowns. In that emotional moment Olivia simply cried and hugged Andy, leaving a very confused puppy screaming and howling in the background.

For Olivia and Andy’s wedding they treated their loved ones to a most opulent celebration held within the lush grounds of Rippon Lea Estate. The weather gods were kind that day as the morning rains passed by the time we came to set up for their ceremony on the lawns in front of the impressive mansion.

Our anxious groom waited excitedly for his bride to arrive for the ceremony. Andy watched as we began the ceremony with the adorable flower children walking in to the sounds of Glass in the Park by Alex Turner. Andy then turned back around in anticipation for Olivia to make her grand entrance accompanied by her loving parents. As Olivia emerged from the treeline Andy turns around to see his beautiful bride for the first time that day looking like pure magic! SLAY!

When it came time for their vows Andy and Olivia each took the mic and spoke directly from their heart whilst looking intently into each other’s eyes. A powerful moment shared with all their wonderful guests.

Andy and Olivia then took a moment to enjoy a wander through the glorious grounds of Rippon Lea as newlyweds whilst their guests enjoyed canape and drinks around the 70’s Hollywood inspired pool. They then had their reception and epic party times within the grand ballroom of Rippon Lea mansion.

Andy and Olivia’s wedding day was simply full of love and magic, a true fairytale ending!
