Jack + Mathilda
“Jam is clearly a well organised and experienced professional. But more importantly she’s really fun, vivacious and allowed us to craft a low key but special day. Would highly recommend her!!”
This pair of globe trotting lovers always did thing their way and their wedding is no exception!
Jack and Mathilda met whilst working together at a bar in Sydney. Jack was the manager the night Mathilda did her trial and she had made a lasting impression on him. They then shared a summer of love together, working and partying side by side.
After declaring their love for one another and living together for a short stint, our young lovers would then go their seperate ways in pursuit of work and adventure. They’d come back together intermittently, reconnecting and building on their relationship. A few personal accidents and the world going under COVID meant that they were put to the test with caring for one another and spending time locked down in one place, it in turn made them stronger and more certain that they could not imagine life without the other.
It was whilst on their trip to Thailand that they received the good news that Mathilda can finally enter Australia as Jack’s partner. The next day as they were kayaking around the picturesque Phi Phi islands Jack asked Mathilda if she would marry him when they got to Australia. It was the perfect time for it, in fact they kicked themselves for not doing it earlier when they were locked down in Mathilda’s hometown in France. It would have made their adventure filled lives much easier, just to be able to simply be together and follow each other wherever the wind blows.
And so it was a beautiful Sunday morning in April, when these two easy going sweethearts joined their hands together in marriage in front of a small gathering of family and friends within the lush grounds of the Fitzroy Gardens. They had Jack’s brother Tom strumming the guitar throughout the ceremony and were savvy enough to have his other brother set up a virtual link to include Mathilda’s family and friends, tuning in from the other side of the world in France. The inmate ceremony was captured by photographer Peter Koelmeyer, who happened to have been the photographer at Jack’s mum and step dad’s wedding, a full circle moment.
Our newlyweds then set off to The Supper Club where more friends and family were waiting to celebrate their marriage. It would have been an epic day of celebration to forever commemorate your visit back to Melbourne.
