Ocean View Estate Wedding

Tell us a little about your day…

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect if we had tried as it was magical! We wanted a beautiful ceremony to celebrate our love and a party atmosphere reception where we could enjoy our day with our nearest and dearest. It was a perfect representation of us as a couple and the love that we share. We chose to celebrate our day at Ocean View Estates where we could stay on site and have our reception and ceremony as well as photos all in the one beautiful location. This saved us time to travel and allowed us to enjoy more time together and with our guests.

If we could do it all again, we’d tell ourselves…

If we could do it all again, we would tell ourselves to enjoy every moment as the day goes so fast. You’ve put so much time and planning into this day so just enjoy every moment as it’s the only day all your loved ones will be there with you celebrating the love you share.

If we could offer any advice to future couples it would be…

If we could offer any advice to future couples it would be to plan the day to be exactly how you would like it to be. The day is about celebrating your marriage with your loved ones and they will appreciate and enjoy your wedding day no matter what you plan. We opted for no seating plan and allowed our guests to pick their own seats which to us was a masterstroke as guests got to choose where they sat and with whom they had bonded with during the canapés. As we looked out from our bridal table we saw every guest interacting and smiling which we were delighted with as we only put out reserved signs for our immediate family.

We would love to hear about your experience with Mario Colli Photography

Mario was the highlight of all our vendors leading up to the day with quick responses and advice on anything and everything to do with our wedding. He made us feel at ease and so comfortable with every decision we made which made us believe we would have an incredible wedding day. With that being said Mario captured our day naturally and we are absolutely in love with our photos we have received. Mario shows his experience and has a perfect personality as he is kind, organised and also knows when to step up and ensure all photographs were taken in a timely matter. We highly recommend Mario and can’t wait to use him again for any future milestones we wish to get photographed together as not only is he professional, but he has now become a great friend.

Thank you so much Mario! We absolutely couldn’t have done it without you!
