Country Australian Wedding

Husband And Wife - With This Beautiful Rustic Australian Backdrop.

Photos from Jess and Greg’s Wedding!

After many months of preparations, on Friday the 8th of May, 2015 – the Wedding of the Year was held on the Chapman’s family property at Howes Valley, NSW – Chapman Valley!

Most of the things that you see in these photos were hand-made by Jess, Greg and their friends and family just for the wedding. Many of the smaller details and decorations were family heirlooms.

Enjoy these photos from our special day. You can click on a photo to see it full-screen.

This is the first of two blog posts containing photos from our wedding – be sure to checkout the Horseback Wedding Photos!
