Raffaele Ciuca x Brolga Hill Estate
Just outside of Daylesford lies the most beautiful homestead, Brolga Hill Estate where we had the absolute privilege of photographing some of the most luxurious wedding gowns from our dear friends at Raffaele Ciuca. We adore getting creative and sharpening our skills with editorials like this one. It is especially inspiring photographing gowns as gorgeous as these Nicole + Felicia Couture and Steven Khalil looks — they were works of art. Brolga Hill’s old money aesthetic so perfectly complemented each gown.
Katie Kugis’ wedding dress fitting with Mariana Hardwick
We joined recently engaged model, entrepreneur influencer, Katie Kugis, for her bridal fitting with the renowned Australian bridal designer. We adored Mariana Hardwick’s new collection and how it striked the perfect balance between showstopping statement designs and timeless silhouettes — with a look for both the fashion forward and traditional brides alike. The new collection featured everything from, breathtaking gowns with a full skirt and waist cinching corset to sexy, slinky looks (perfect for the reception dress!) and of course, fun mini’s for the after party! We adored the Spanish-inspired lace featured throughout the collection in corsets, veils, sheer skirts and more.
Katie was an absolute vision in every single look. Read on for more behind-the-scenes moments of Katie’s fitting — we can’t wait to see what gown she wears on the big day!
