Chelsea and Lloyd’s winter wedding at The Woodhouse Wollombi was a celebration wrapped in warmth, sentiment, and soul. The crisp air of the Hunter Valley set the scene — mist rising over the pines, soft light filtering through the trees, and a calm stillness that made every moment feel intimate and intentional.

Every element of their day was deeply personal, with subtle nods to the music that shaped their story — Taylor Swift lyrics woven through the ceremony signage, and even the celebrant’s words echoing familiar lines of love and devotion. These details felt effortless and authentic, telling their story in a way that was quietly poetic.

Their three dogs played an important role throughout the day, bringing an extra layer of heart and joy. From walking down the aisle to joining in portraits among the pine trees, they were every bit a part of the family — a reflection of how love, for Chelsea and Lloyd, extends beyond each other to the life they’ve built together.

As the afternoon light faded and the chill of dusk settled in, the celebration shifted into a candlelit warmth — festoon lights twinkling, guests gathered close, and laughter spilling from the timber-lined hall. The atmosphere was equal parts cosy and cinematic, a seamless blend of elegance and emotion.

Our approach was to document their day as it truly felt — the softness of winter light, the quiet glances, the gentle humour between vows, and the energy of the dance floor later that night. The gallery captures not just a wedding, but the feeling of a story still unfolding — timeless, tender, and uniquely theirs.
