ABOUT THE WEDDING

Isabella and Justin’s wedding at Coombe Yarra Valley was a spectacular celebration set in one of the region’s most prestigious venues. With its breathtaking garden grounds and a purpose-built ceremony space, Coombe provided the perfect backdrop for their vows. The couple walked down a picturesque gravel aisle, framed by neatly trimmed hedges, before standing in front of towering greenery that created an intimate and lush setting.

This wedding was particularly special for me, as Justin’s brother, Jerobeam, was the groom of the very first wedding I ever filmed for someone I didn’t personally know. I remember feeling immense pressure to get everything right that day, so reuniting with Jerobeam years later and receiving his compliments on my work was the ultimate validation—it was an incredible full-circle moment.

Justin’s father officiated the ceremony, bringing warmth and humour to the occasion with his vibrant personality. His heartfelt yet entertaining approach had everyone engaged, setting the perfect tone for the rest of the day. Given what I had witnessed at Jerobeam’s wedding—where he and his mother performed a flawlessly rehearsed dance—I knew Justin’s mother-son dance would be something special. And it did not disappoint. Isabella followed with her own style of choreographed dance with her father.

With these high-energy performances kicking things off, the atmosphere in the reception remained electric. A live band kept the dancefloor packed as guests celebrated well into the night. Coombe’s elegant yet lively setting, paired with the couple’s incredible energy, made this wedding an absolute joy to capture.

For couples looking for a Yarra Valley wedding venue that blends timeless elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere, Coombe is an unbeatable choice. And for those seeking a wedding videographer who understands how to capture both intimate moments and high-energy celebrations, this wedding was a perfect reminder of why storytelling through film is so powerful.
