Mariah and Noah’s Bramleigh Estate wedding
“Noah and I met at the ripe age of 11 and 12 at a youth group,” Mariah recalls. They were best friends for a few years before things turned romantic at 14 and 15 when Noah asked Mariah out.
Fast forward to May 13th, 2023, and Noah set up the perfect proposal in his parents’ backyard. “Noah popped the question on May 13th, 2023, with a beautiful setup in the backyard of his parents. With candlelights, lots of flowers, and a beautiful sunset. He prepared an outfit for me to wear and definitely outdid himself.”
Their wedding took place in Ringwood Warrandyte at the stunning Bramleigh Estate, with 115 guests in attendance. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the rural venue. “Our vision was dreamy, light, romantic, and almost heavenly. Imagine the feeling of daydreaming and feeling lighter than air. That was our goal of how we wanted to feel on our wedding day.” They fell in love with the estate’s expansive grounds and the sunlight shining through the greenery. The all-white interior and exterior sealed the deal for them. “It gave us an instant tick. It felt too good to be true.”
The ceremony was held outside near a beautiful white arbour, with 100 guests seated and surrounded by stunning florals arranged by Mariah’s cousin. As the autumn sun set and the air turned chilly, guests moved inside to enjoy canapés near the bar. “When the sun left, it was chilly. That is when everyone enjoyed some canapés near the bar inside.” At 6 pm, everyone flowed into the reception area for dinner, where the seating surrounded the dancefloor, making it easy for people to watch or join in the dancing.
Noah and Mariah’s wedding photographer was My Scandi Style, and they couldn’t have been happier with their choice. “Kelly was nothing short of amazing. She created a space where we both felt comfortable in front of a camera. Normally, we shy away from photos, but she made us look like models and feel natural while doing it.” The couple found themselves at ease before the lens, a testament to Kelly’s talent and approach. “Not only did she create an amazing experience on the wedding day, but once we received the photos, we knew the investment was 100% worth it. Our photos were nothing short of perfect. She is so talented.”
Communication and vibe were our highest priorities in choosing a venue. Not only the vibe of the location itself, but how well we got along with the staff. I (Mariah) definitely can overthink sometimes, so I wanted a team behind me that I could message and not feel like I was hassling or being annoying. Our coordinator, Katelyn, met every need and was so thorough during the process, which eased my mind so much. She was a right-hand woman.
