Steph & Brad
Meelup Farmhouse wedding

A South West afternoon at Meelup Farmhouse — vows under a greenery arbour, a white vintage car on the bush road, and a long table under glass as the speeches ran.

Steph & Brad’s morning was all detail: the suits hanging ready, and the rings, perfume and a keepsake laid out on timber. The bride waited by a timber window with her veil over her shoulder, while the groom waited beside the floral arbour.

They said their vows beneath a greenery arbour at Meelup Farmhouse, in the bush between Dunsborough and Eagle Bay, and then the afternoon opened up. Bush, open paddock and the water are all within a short walk of each other here, and we used all three — the bridal party on the bush road, the bride spinning with her bridal party beside the water, the couple beside a white vintage car, and riding out along the bush road.

The bush around Meelup is low and open, so the light stays soft through the afternoon. We saved the open paddock for last: a piggyback across it in the late light, and a kiss in the long golden grass as the sun dropped.

Then the long table under glass, candles lit as the speeches ran, the cake at dusk, and the bouquet held high as the night kicked off.
