Samantha and Mitchell both come from \u201chumble beginnings\u201d where family matters most.<\/p>\n
The pair wanted their modern rustic wedding to reflect that, so chose The Farm at Warrandyte South in Victoria to celebrate their love with 56 guests. \u201cWe chose The Farm for its understated beauty,\u201d smiles Samantha. \u201cA vineyard was chosen to symbolise our down-to-Earth nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
They said \u2018I do\u2019 on April 20, 2018, focusing on a feast menu for their reception. \u201cWe loved the idea of the feast menu, the thought of people bonding with strangers after asking them to \u2018pass the meat\u2019 really resonated with us,\u201d explains Samantha. \u201cWe wanted our guests to feel like it was a celebration similar to how you celebrate with family at Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n
They shied away from traditional<\/a> where they could. \u201cI decided midway through the reception that I wanted to dance with the girls, even before dancing with Mitch,\u201d laughs Samantha. \u201cMitch and I have always been spontaneous and have done whatever we feel like in the moment, that\u2019s exactly how we wanted our wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Darin Collison Photographer<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “In the back of my mind I have always wanted to get a mohawk, but didn\u2019t know if it was too risky as I would have the photos forever,” smiles the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
