Grove Gippsland Wedding Venue

We chose our wedding venue, because Jemma works with The Grove’s owner David Ehrlich and when visiting the location loved the feel of the Gippsland site. The Grove Gippsland venue is where the wedding photography took place.

How we met:

We met during a board games night at Jemma’s sister Haylee’s house. We were friends at first and though talking to each other developed a relationship.

The Proposal:

Was at Melville Caves while on holidays. Andrew was nervous to organise the lead up to the proposal, Jemma asked was I serious when asked the question as she was “in shock”. After she said yes we were elated and rushed back to tell our families.

The Grove Gippsland was an absolute dream to photograph and film. With its rolling hills, olive groves, and stunning views over the Bass Hinterland, every angle offered something beautiful. The ceremony, whether under the shade of ancient trees or in the light-filled conservatory, was framed perfectly by nature. I moved between capturing still moments and cinematic video, telling the story with a mix of emotion, atmosphere, and those little candid details that make a wedding day so special.
