Jessica and Jacob’s wedding at Montrose House

Jessica and Jacob at Montrose House

Jessica and Jacob’s wedding was full of joy: confetti, lawn games, beautiful music and a wedding party that kept everyone laughing.

I always enjoy returning to the Southern Highlands, and this celebration gave me plenty of reasons to love it all over again.

Montrose House, also known in earlier stories as Montrose Berry Farm, provided a beautiful garden and country setting. This gallery records their wedding, rather than current ownership or booking arrangements.

The reception became a proper party, with a dance floor that left very little room for standing still.

Before the ceremony, thoughtful letters and gifts passed between the couple, their families and wedding party. Those moments gave the morning a lovely emotional rhythm.

Taking a few minutes to read a note or open a gift can make space to feel what is happening before the day gathers speed.

Remembering the end of the evening

Their exit made a memorable finish to the photographs. If you are planning an exit of your own, discuss the space, lighting and permitted options with the venue.

Any flame effect needs the venue’s permission and compliance with current fire restrictions. It should never be assumed safe or allowed because it appears in an older wedding gallery.

Existing festoon lights or another venue-approved lighting plan can create a warm atmosphere without needing a flame effect.

Leave enough space for everyone to move comfortably and enjoy the moment. Your photographer can help plan a simple finish that fits the celebration.
