Laura and Ryan Carlton wedding | Melbourne wedding photographer

Laura and Ryan tied the knot on April 16th in Carlton, Melbourne.

They decided on a first look in the Carlton gardens before their ceremony and reception at the stunning Epocha restaurant.

Everything about this wedding was amazing! The people, the venue,the food, the music and that dress! wow!

I first met the boys at Laura and Ryan's house for a few photos before meeting the girls over at The Blackman hotel for the getting ready shots.

Laura wore an absolutely stunning fitted lace dress with a beaded bodice, long curls with a lovely hairpiece and her fur on her shoulders

She was the image of Glamour, a beautiful bride indeed!

As they met for a first look before the ceremony this left us plenty of time to get some gorgeous photos, first in the amazing Carlton gardens and then in the quirky streets of Fitzroy.

This was my first wedding at Epocha restaurant. It's an amazing venue and I thought it suited Laura and Ryan perfectly.

All the guests were first invited to go upstairs for the ceremony. The love really filled the room and i could just feel how much these two loved each other but also how much they loved all their family and friends and how happy they all were to be sharing this moment together.

Celebrations then started with drinks followed by amazing food and hilarious speeches.And to end the day or should I say start off the night amazing music that kept the dance floor always full, I found it hard to leave myself as I was enjoying it so much!

Enough words! I will let you see the day as I did...
