Blake and Phoebe tied the knot on a stunning spring afternoon at Terara Riverside Gardens, a venue that feels like it was made for moments like this.
The morning began with the boys getting ready in Culburra, sharing a relaxed start to the day before heading to the venue. Meanwhile, in the bridal suite, Phoebe shared a quiet first look with her bridesmaids — a joyful, emotional moment that set the tone for what was to come. A few minutes later, she had another with her dad. It was one of those still, meaningful pauses that said more than words could.
The ceremony took place in the heart of the gardens, surrounded by tall trees and gorgeous blooms. The bridesmaids wore soft yellow, bringing a touch of brightness to the already warm setting. After the vows, Blake and Phoebe slipped away with their mothers for a private signing in the property’s greenhouse — a quiet, personal moment before the evening unfolded.
As the sun dropped toward the riverbank, the couple wandered the grounds for portraits. The light hit just right, golden, soft, and fleeting, perfect for the kind of photos that tell a story years down the line.
The reception kicked off in a marquee draped with fairy lights, giving the night an effortless kind of magic. Guests sat down to a meal that was as relaxed as it was refined, with plates that didn’t disappoint and drinks that didn’t stop flowing.
Later, the first dance brought everyone to a quiet pause, simple, beautiful, and unmistakably them.
It was the perfect day for a wedding.. Everything fell into place in that understated, meaningful way that only happens when two people get it right.
