Nat & Shanni
Quarry Farm wedding

A July wedding at Quarry Farm — a handfasting with rainbow ribbon, autumn leaves on the gazebo steps, and a low winter sun running straight down the tree avenue.

Nat & Shanni married at Quarry Farm in July. Their hands were bound with rainbow ribbon during the handfasting, and they walked back down the aisle through a shower of confetti.

Winter at Quarry Farm looks nothing like summer. The sun sits low all afternoon and runs straight down the tree avenue, throwing shadows the length of the paddock — which is how you get two brides kissing in the avenue with long shadows across the grass, and backlit together at golden hour.

In between there was the white gazebo, its steps beneath the autumn trees with the dress spilling down behind them, a kiss framed by greenery in the shed doorway, and a walk together under a golden canopy of leaves.

The details were theirs too: a lace gown hanging by the stairs, pearl-strapped shoes, and a bouquet of peach roses, blue thistle and native foliage.
