A gorgeous summer wedding with a first look, lake photos and the most stunning sunset

Courtney and Kane’s wedding at Stillwater at Crittenden in Dromana was nothing short of a fairy tale. Nestled in the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, this venue provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, emotion, and unforgettable moments.

The day began with a magical "first look" under the venue’s enchanting willow tree. Kane stood with his back turned, anticipation building with every passing second. When Courtney gently tapped his shoulder, the look on Kane’s face was priceless. Tears of joy flowed as he saw his bride for the first time. This intimate moment set the tone for the rest of the day.

The ceremony took place in the stunning gardens of the venue. As guests took their seats, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. Kane’s emotions were once again on full display when Courtney walked down the aisle. His eyes welled up with tears, capturing the hearts of everyone present. It was a truly memorable ceremony.

After the ceremony, while guests mingled outside and enjoyed delicious canapés, Courtney and Kane took the opportunity to capture some stunning photos. The venue’s beautiful landscapes, including the lake and vineyards, offered endless photo opportunities.

But one of the highlights of the evening was for sure the breathtaking sunset over the lake. As the sky turned into a canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples, Courtney and Kane shared a few quiet moments by the water. The reflection of the sunset on the lake created a magical atmosphere, perfect for capturing some of the most romantic and awe-inspiring photos of the day. This serene moment was the perfect way to celebrate their love and the start of their new journey together.

“Our wedding day amazing with our ceremony at the Melbourne Royal Botanical Gardens, followed by a reception at The Panama Dining Room in Collingwood and Laura from Perla Photography did an incredible job of capturing all our special moments. From the moment we met Laura, her warm and friendly demeanour put us at ease. She was responsive, organised and adapted quickly to some last minute schedule changes. We chose Perla because of her unique style that brings out the rich vibrant colours and were not disappointed. She was able to capture both beautiful landscape shots that we can hardly believe were taken in the gardens and meaningful candid moments. We received a sneak preview of our photos quickly after the wedding which was great to show family and friends and the full album shortly after. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura from Perla Photography to any couple seeking a wedding photographer, we genuinely couldn't have imagined a better experience.”

“Laura was incredible photographing our wedding recently. Her skills and the images she has sent us so far completely exceeded our expectations! She is truly an extraordinarily talented woman, a beautiful soul and made me feel like an absolute supermodel, all day long ! As someone who doesn’t usually like being the subject of a photo, Laura’s encouraging comments made me feel SO comfortable and beautiful, begging to jump in front of the lens ! We couldn’t be more obsessed with the photo memories we now have to look back through and re-live our special day, over and over again. I couldn’t recommend a better photographer than Perla Photography. Thank you so much, Laura”

“We recently got married at Dromana Estate and had the absolute pleasure of having Perla as our photographer. Laura was highly recommended to us and when we saw her portfolio we soon realised that she was the only photographer we wanted. Her photography style is natural and light, she knew our venue like the back of her hand so had all the best spots picked out for our photos. Laura was professional right from our first conversation, we are so pleased with our choice in photographer. If your in the planning stage of your wedding you definitely need to check Laura out you won’t be disappointed. Laura we can’t thank you enough. You have given us the best images that we can enjoy with all of your friends and family for years and years to come.”
