‘Jam is absolutely incredible! Her presence and magic made our special day the best it could possibly be. She asks all the right questions and seamlessly guides you through the entire thing. She captured my partner and I’s vibe entirely and made the night something we will not only remember forever; but everyone who attended will also remember forever!!! Tears of joy and laughter all around :) Thank you always!!!’

This couple of video gaming, car enthusiast mechanics wanted to get hitched on a Wednesday, midweek at the Ovolo hotel in Prahran and I said ‘Hells yeah! Let’s go!!!’

Our lovers had a chilled wedding day filled with doing what they love. They had booked to stay at the Ovolo hotel so they can wake up and lesuirely spend their wedding day getting ready together. Mel then popped down the road to get her make up done at the MECCA cosmetics, before they met up with their international photographer Sammy.

Mel and Chris then took Sammy along to one of their fav hang outs at ‘Akira’s’ on Chapel st for a spot of pre-ceremony fun amongst the arcade games.

For their ceremony, Chris and Mel had invited their closest family and friends to an afternoon celebrating their love and life together. Their ceremony was filled with light hearted laughs and beautiful sentiments. We spoke of their specially made engagement rings from local designer Kurt with green emeralds similar to the ones seen in Deku trees from The Legend of Zelda. And for their wedding bands, they were made by another local jewlller Jake. They were replica rings inspired from the ones worn by Howl and Sophie in Howl’s Moving Castle.

Mel and Chris had perfectly timed their ceremony so that 5 days after their wedding they were on a plane out to Japan for their honeymoon, just in time for the beginning of Cherry Blossom season.
