Mel and Dom married on a chilly Melbourne evening at the warehouse-turned venue Two Ton Max in North Melbourne.

The day began with separate preparations, Dom at their home and Mel at Ovolo Hotel in South Yarra. The Ovolo was a stunning backdrop for a quirky retro first look and photoshoot, followed by an intimate tea ceremony in the hotel room. We stopped by the Hardimans Hotel for a quick drink and some snacks before walking over to Two Ton Max, where Mel and Dom’s closest friends and family patiently waited for their arrival. After a heartfelt ceremony, their guests indulged in mulled wine and a smorgasbord of delectable charcuterie, hand-picked by the food-obsessed couple. (In their circles, Mel and Dom are infamous foodies and there was a palpable keenness to indulge in the food that evening…)

Despite the cold, there was a bubble of warmth surrounding the two lovers- and we are so honoured to have had the opportunity to capture the day. Folkstone’s very own Dani has been best friends with Mel for over a decade, so this wedding was one especially close to home.
