Madi + Leo

“We loved having Jam be a part of our special day. Choosing a celebrant is such a strange thing because ideally you'd have someone who knows you well, understands your energy and can create an engaging ceremony - but we didn't know anyone who could do that for us whilst also making our marriage legally official! We could tell from the way Jam spoke about her couples on social media that she would be a great fit and meeting her in person confirmed this! She truly filled our entire process with love and excitement and the ceremony felt uniquely like us! She took the time to understand our story, supported our vow writing and created the most beautiful, fun-filled ceremony we could ever have hoped for. Our family were raving about what an engaging celebrant she was! Thank you so much, Jam! Madi and Leo”

It’s impossible not to fall for Madi and Leo!!! Just take a look through the set of timeless polaroid captures taken by the husband wife duo Kat and Cristian from Redbooks.

Let and Madi met forever ago rocking out on the stage at Footscray City College as part of their muscial production of Little Shop of Horrors, and Leo was the cool guy hosting the post production after party. Madi admits that a part of her fell in love with Leo straight away and would often find herself back at Leo’s house with her friends just to hang out and listen to Leo’s band play.

Even though Madi was in a different year to Leo, she stood out to him as one of them cool kids, decked out in her signature dyed hair and Doc Martens. As Leo got to know Madi he was impressed by her taste in cool angsty music and even cooler angstier taste in books. However he could also see past Madi’s angsty teenage facade to appreciate her sweet and tender side that’s always inclusive of others.

It took them to be cast in yet another high school musical the following year before they became close friends and eventual lovers.

They have since grown up, travelled the world, survived a pandemic and made a beautiful life together. So last year Leo leveled up their relationship when he proposed to Madi on an impromptu getaway to Healsville.

For their magnificent ceremony at The Hall at Welcome to Brunswick, Madi and Leo got hitched between lush towers of flowers and moss installed by my fav flos babe Kayla and her crew at Xflos. Madi and Leo also had the most stunning wedding squad, 5 deep on each side, dressed in hues of auburn, red and pink to perfectly compliment Leo in his custom Reigner suit. I love how Madi handmade the heart-shaped bolo for her beloved Leo to wear on their wedding day.

Leo and Madi imagined and realised a most heartfelt celebration of their life and love, shared with their family and friends.
