Rediscovering the Quirky Corners of Melbourne City – A Colorful Engagement session on film

When Liv & Mitch reached out to us, their enthusiasm for an unconventional colourful engagement shoot in the heart of Melbourne City was infectious. They asked us to capture quirky and candid moments, so they were open to exploring vibrant laneways, colourful walls, and indoor spots that resonated with their bubbly personalities. Eager to create a memorable experience, we explored the laneways together and laughed a lot along the way.

A Surprise Super 8 Engagement Video – Capturing the Magic in Motion

As we set out to capture Liv & Mitch’s love story, we wanted to add an extra touch of magic. Surprising them with a Super 8 engagement video, we captured their vibrant personalities and candid laughter in a timeless reel. The film, with its black and white vintage and grainy charm, beautifully complements their love journey, making the moments come alive.

A Perfect Blend of Sentimentality and Adventure

While planning their wedding portraits at their most sentimental place, the picturesque river in Wodonga, Liv & Mitch were thrilled to do something different and out of the box for their engagement shoot. Weaving sentimentality with urban flair, we ventured into the vibrant streets of Melbourne to capture candid moments that would perfectly complement their wedding story.

Capturing Relaxed and Candid Moments – A Perfect Match for Mitch

Understanding that Mitch was a bit camera shy, our focus was on creating a relaxed atmosphere, allowing their authentic selves to shine through. As we wandered through the enchanting laneways and stopped by iconic spots like Pellegrinis Espresso Bar, Liv & Mitch effortlessly embraced the joyful ambiance, sharing laughter and creating cherished memories.

Little did we know that one of the chosen locations, Pellegrinis Espresso Bar, would hold such a special place in Liv & Mitch’s hearts. For years, it had been their go-to spot for delightful date nights, and even Liv’s mom got emotional upon discovering their engagement photos taken at this meaningful location.

A Love Story with a Sentimental Beginning

During our first Zoom meeting, Liv & Mitch shared the heart-warming story of how they met through a cousin when they were just 15. From skateboarding near the river to discovering a spot to hang out together, their bond deepened over time. The perfect proposal by the river and choosing the ring together strengthened their commitment to one another, leading them to the wedding of their dreams.

A Whisky-Inspired Rustic Affair

With a shared love for whisky, the couple envisioned an 80-guest celebration brimming with rustic charm and quirky simplicity. Opting for a heritage building with high ceilings, they set the stage for an intimate gathering that beautifully showcased their unique personalities.

A Wedding with Heartfelt Sentiment and Meaningful Details

Breaking away from traditional color themes and a bridal party, Liv & Mitch’s wedding will radiate sentimentality and showcase the authentic love they share. The rich tapestry of their love story, interwoven with cherished memories and sentimental touches, will be at the heart of this momentous day.

As we conclude this captivating engagement session, we are filled with anticipation for Liv & Mitch’s wedding day. We can’t wait to capture the essence of their love, their passion for whisky, and the intimate moments that will unfold along the river in Wodonga. Their journey as a couple, from Melbourne’s quirky laneways to the tranquil waters of the river, is a testament to the beauty of love’s boundless adventure.
