Paris and Shayne’s wedding day was one filled with emotion, family history, and beautiful personal touches from start to finish.

Their day began with a heartfelt first look at Rosemont Farm, a family property that holds deep meaning, it’s also where Paris’ parents were married and had their own wedding photos taken years earlier. Standing in the same place, Paris and Shayne shared an emotional moment together before the celebrations truly began.

From there, the day moved to Paris’ grandparents’ property in Newtown, where they exchanged vows surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. With relaxed garden-party vibes for canapés and the reception, the whole afternoon felt warm, joyful, and effortlessly fun.

These two were such a dream to photograph, from their emotional first look to stunning portraits around the property and a ceremony full of heartfelt moments. A truly genuine couple and a wedding day that felt personal, relaxed, and full of love.

Tell me about your The Beginning!

Our story began — fittingly — where so many great country stories do: at the Edenhope Apsley Football Netball Club.

We met on the netball courts while playing against each other in mixed netball. There was a little competitive spark, some sideline banter, and a few strategic shoulder bumps… and well, the rest is history. Who knew a bit of trash talk could lead to true love?

What started as a friendship and plenty of time spent hanging out eventually led to our first date at Moe’s Mexican in Horsham. Nothing says romance quite like tacos, nervous small talk, and trying to look cute while eating nachos.

Somewhere between the guac, the laughter, and the sunset drive back to Edenhope, it became clear — this wasn’t just dinner. This was something real.

When and where did you get engaged?

On January 18th, 2025, Shayne planned something pretty incredible.

He organised an Amazing Race-style proposal around Edenhope, complete with clues, scavenger hunts, and stops that each held special meaning throughout their relationship.

Paris followed the trail from one heartfelt clue to the next until the final destination — the Edenhope Town Hall, which Shayne had secretly hired just in case the weather decided to do what country Victoria often does: either pour with rain or turn on a scorcher.

Inside, Shayne had created a path of rose petals and candles leading Paris down a quiet aisle… where he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

And yes — once Paris could string a sentence together — she said yes.
