Adam & Rachel’s Elegant Wedding at Hubert Estate

On a golden April afternoon, beneath the sculptural hills of the Yarra Valley, Adam and Rachel brought their modern love story to life in a day that radiated elegance and joy. Their wedding at Hubert Estate wasn’t just a celebration of love—it was a masterclass in contemporary romance, complete with soft florals, sparkler-lit first dances, and the kind of laughter that lingers long after the last song.

The day began in style, with both bride and groom getting ready in separate suites that reflected their shared love for timeless sophistication. Rachel was a vision in a sleek, figure-hugging gown by Alena Leena Bridal, her look completed with glowing makeup by Makeup by Alexandra H and soft, romantic waves styled by Catherine Sarah Hair Design. Adam, equally dashing in a perfectly tailored suit by YSG Tailors, looked every bit the modern gentleman.

Before the ceremony, Adam and Rachel shared their First Look at The Barn Yarra Valley—a heart-fluttering moment that stood still in time. As Adam turned to see Rachel for the first time, emotions overflowed. Capturing their joy in that quiet pocket of time was pure magic. There was laughter, happy tears, and the kind of beaming smiles that told a thousand stories without a single word.

The ceremony, held at the architecturally stunning Hubert Estate, was nothing short of dreamy. Celebrant The Celebrant led a heartwarming exchange of vows that brought tears to eyes and joy to hearts. Framed by romantic arrangements from These Blooms and soundtracked by the velvety vocals of Cal Young Music, the setting felt like a modern fairytale. After the "I dos," the celebration turned jubilant with hugs, high fives, and a champagne tower that fizzed as brightly as the smiles surrounding it.

As the sun dipped low behind the vines, Adam and Rachel stole a few moments for a sunset soiree—just the two of them, wrapped in the warm hues of dusk and the quiet buzz of just-married bliss. It was a joy to capture their love in those golden moments, bathed in light and utterly in love.

Then it was time to party. Back at Hubert Estate, the reception space shimmered with modern decor and bespoke details—stationery by Sea and Paper set the tone, while Fig and Salt crafted a cake almost too beautiful to eat (almost). The music picked up again thanks to Cal Young Music, this time behind the DJ deck, and the night was officially underway. A standout moment? The couple’s first dance, illuminated by a swirl of sparklers and a champagne spray that mirrored the uncontainable excitement in the room.

For Adam and Rachel, the highlight of the day was simple: being surrounded by all their favourite people in one room. It was a celebration years in the making—seven, to be exact. From their first date at Pontoon on St Kilda foreshore to the surprise engagement upstairs at Stokehouse on Adam’s birthday, every chapter of their love story led perfectly to this day.

Their advice for future couples? Wedding planning isn’t easy—especially with a newborn in tow—but it is possible. Lock in your location and key vendors early, and don’t overthink every detail. Find what you love, trust your instincts, and move forward with joy.

Adam and Rachel, your wedding was a dream, and your love story is the kind we never get tired of telling. Here's to the next chapter—full of laughter, love, and maybe just a little more champagne. 🥂
