The love story
Popping this gorgeous story together along with the beautiful imagery from Rebecca from Lemon and Lime Photography, you will notice there is something so beautiful about this ‘love story’ of Georgina and Frank.
Georgina grew up on her family’s farm in Poowong East. The area holds such fond memories for her and she shared “We love visiting the farm on the weekends; where the kettle is always on and the work never finished.”
Georgina and Frank knew they wanted to get married somewhere local in Gippsland. On a typical Saturday night, they gathered around Georgina’s parent’s kitchen table, with a few neighbours and some lovely wine and someone mentioned the Poowong Chapel for their ceremony and the local Poowong East Hall for their reception venue.
With a beautiful open mind, they went to look at the little Chapel and immediately they both fell in love with its timber beams, stained glass windows and intimate feel. The Hall required a little vision to see past the cobwebs and sticky weed, and Georgina and Frank knew with some elbow grease, some extra love and some gorgeous decorations, this Hall could be made into a beautiful space.
It took many late nights stringing fairy lights and vacuuming floors, along with the generosity and help from their wonderful family, bridal party, neighbours and vendors – but the Chapel and Hall were transformed so beautifully for their wedding day. Georgina said, “She remembers looking around at all our happy guests and thinking ‘this was perfect for us’.”
One piece of advice
It really does go by in a flash. You can’t have too many photos. Say yes to disposable cameras. It’s okay if things go wrong; it will still be the best day ever because you will be surrounded by everyone you love, making it the greatest celebration. Make it as personal as possible; it’s easy to be swayed by things that are flashy and meaningless. Let your florist have full creative freedom; just give them colours. Have a colour palette for guests. And definitely book Stratton Photography
