Claire + Braydon, Harcourt Valley Vineyards
Got it!!
If there’s one thing Claire and Braydon’s wedding day showed us, it’s that love and laughter truly go hand in hand. From a wet morning that gave way to stunning clear skies, to a bridal party that was 100% there for a good time, their big day was nothing short of amazing.
Claire and Braydon’s love story began with a swipe right on Bumble and a first date that lasted hours – from The Bridge Hotel to Babylon Lounge Bar, and finally chatting on a bench late into the night. They’ve been best friends ever since, and five years later, they walked down the aisle to say “I do.” Their wedding day was a perfect reflection of their fun-loving and down-to-earth connection.
Harcourt Valley Vineyards provided the perfect backdrop for Claire and Braydon’s celebration. The lush vineyards, rolling hills, and rustic charm set the stage for their classic black-and-white theme to pop. It’s the kind of venue that makes every photo look timeless – and it certainly delivered.
Claire and Braydon nailed the balance between elegant and fun. The ceremony was held inside the barn, just in case the weather didn’t hold off, but it created a super romantic vibe. Luckily, the rain cleared, and they were able to move the reception outside as originally planned.
The couple opted for classic black-and-white attire, which contrasted beautifully with the green surrounds of the vineyard. Braydon and his groomsmen brought the cool factor in sleek black suits, while Claire looked absolutely radiant in her gown.
And let’s talk about the bridal party – what a crew! From the moment they arrived, it was clear they were there to celebrate. Whether it was sharing heartfelt toasts or hyping up the dance floor later in the evening, this group brought the energy.

Weather Perfection: The day started with a bit of rain, but just in time for the ceremony, the skies cleared, and we were treated to the most incredible light. Honestly, you couldn’t have asked for better timing.
