What began as a planned wedding turned into something just as meaningful — a beautifully intimate couples shoot for Komal and Ivan. Set against the stunning backdrop of La Belle Vallée Farm Escape, their day was nothing short of magical.

Perched on 60 acres of pristine land overlooking the charming village of Kangaroo Valley, La Belle Vallée offers a quiet kind of luxury.
