MIKAELA & TOM’S PETERSON HOUSE WEDDING - HUNTER VALLEY
Mikaela & Tom tied the knot at Peterson House, and from the very beginning the day felt relaxed, joyful, and refreshingly un-serious (in the best possible way). I photographed Mikaela’s sister's wedding a few years ago, so it was wonderful to see their family again. There was plenty of laughter woven through the quieter moments, happy chaos in between, and that unmistakable feeling of two people genuinely excited to be marrying each other.
They planned their day around actually enjoying it - spending time with their favourite people, sneaking away for relaxed portraits without disappearing for hours, and soaking up the moment rather than watching the clock. Nothing felt rushed or overly structured, which meant the day unfolded naturally, with lots of those blink-and-you-miss-them moments that end up being the most meaningful.
Their reception at Peterson House felt less like a formal wedding and more like a fun family reunion. It was warm, fun, full of laughter, and a perfect reflection of Mikaela & Tom - easygoing, connected, and completely focused on having a great time with the people they love. You know it’s been a good one when it’s time for me to leave and the bride is on the table!
