Love Story

​

You often hear that love is patient – and for Chantelle and Matt that’s certainly how their love story began. After first connecting on a dating app, the pair waded patiently through clunky back and forth conversations while Matt worked night shifts. Finally ready to plan their first date, Chantelle left plans in Matt’s hands having recently moved from Sydney to Melbourne. On a night out in St Kilda, love waited patiently in the wings as Matt got the couple lost for thirty minutes before finally reaching the bar. Some things are worth the wait, and for
Chantelle and Matt their happily ever after was finally in reach.

The Day

​

There are very few real surprises in life and for Chantelle and Matt, they wanted to give their loved ones a surprise they will never forget! Changing their original plans of an elopement to a surprise engagement party-turned-wedding, the couple planned their big surprise in just two months. Bringing together a dream-team of vendors, the couple enlisted the help of Kate Uren as their celebrant to bring their surprise ceremony to life. Working closely with their venue, The Wharf Shed on Geelong’s waterfront, Chantelle created her own backdrop for their “I dos” and decorated the space with bright flowers to compliment her showstopping gold dress. The biggest highlight of the night was of course the big reveal, with the future Mr and Mrs
sharing with their guests that a wedding would be held in just twenty minutes! Once formalities were out of the way, it was time to party, and Chantelle and Matt felt a big wave of relief to finally be living the dream they’d had for their special day. With vibes high and the sun setting over the picturesque waterfront, Chantelle and Matt have a wedding that is truly unforgettable.
