The Smith Prahran Wedding. An inner city Melbourne wedding with a first look, a garden ceremony, followed by a massive party

Naomi and Daniel's wedding was a perfect blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication. Their choice of a secluded Melbourne park for the first look and ceremony, followed by a reception at The Smith in Prahran, allowed them to create a day that was uniquely theirs. The contrast between the serene park setting and the chic, urban vibe of The Smith highlighted the diverse and vibrant spirit of Melbourne, creating an unforgettable wedding experience.

Naomi and Daniel wanted their wedding day to be filled with intimate, memorable moments. They decided to have their first look in one of Melbourne's most private parks. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as Daniel waited under a canopy of trees. When Naomi approached, the moment they saw each other for the first time was nothing short of magical. This private, heartfelt moment allowed them to connect and share their emotions before the ceremony began..

Following their first look, Naomi and Daniel exchanged vows in the same beautiful park. The setting was perfect: an open space surrounded by vibrant greenery and the gentle sounds of nature. The ceremony was intimate and personal, with close family and friends gathered to witness their union. The natural beauty of the park provided a stunning, serene backdrop for their heartfelt vows and the official start of their journey together.

After the ceremony, the celebration moved to The Smith in Prahran, a venue known for its blend of urban sophistication and intimate charm. Located on bustling Chapel Street, The Smith offers an ideal location for couples seeking a stylish and versatile reception space.

The Smith's interior features a mix of contemporary elegance and rustic charm, with exposed brick walls, chic lighting fixtures, and lush greenery. Naomi and Daniel's reception was held in the main dining area, which then turned into a crazy dance floor. A night to remember!

“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.”
