Cussonia Crest

The wedding story

Stone, sunlight and everything in between.

Armand and Melanie’s wedding at Cussonia Crest moved from the quiet anticipation of getting ready to a celebration inside the stone chapel. Burgundy flowers brought warmth to the day; the surrounding landscape gave us room to make portraits that feel entirely their own.

01 / The ceremony

A chapel filled with their people.

From Melanie’s walk down the aisle to the confetti outside, the chapel held the moments everyone came to share.

02 / Together

The part of the day that was just theirs.

We followed the light beyond the chapel, through the trees and into the open landscape. Their couple portraits carry the story from afternoon to the last glow of sunset.

03 / After dark

The celebration kept going.

As the light left the landscape, the reception came alive. We finished with a few portraits beneath the illuminated stone arch and among the trees.
