Popawheely Weddings

It was a hot summer night, full of love and warmth, when Mia + Linden got married then danced the night away. What else can I say… you never forget a Powell wedding!

Credit to Photos by Oliver Horn- you captured the night beautifully. While I very much enjoyed perusing the whole collection, here’s just a few of my favourites from the ceremony.

Mia + Linden - 13.01.2024 ❤️

Feast your eyes on these beautiful photos by Russell Ord - Photography at Blake + Ell's wedding a few weeks ago down on the Blackwood River.

Amidst the serenity of the day, the wind was blowing a glorious gale in true Augusta form. You can see from one of the pictures that Ell’s veil had a life of its own and flowed majestically in the breeze, before flying off into the wind mid-ceremony! Hats weren’t an option that day, and the arbor initially looked like a no-go too. Ell’s uncle secured it place with some big metal pegs, and it was a comforting moment knowing – ‘that’s not going anywhere!’.

That time awaiting the bride always has an exciting energy, with everyone greeting each other, bustling with anticipation. To add the adrenaline… I may have accidentally kicked a baby. A few minutes before the ceremony I was chatting with Blake and some of the guests and didn’t realise a precious little baby had crawled over towards me and was facing my direction. As I went to step forward, the top of my foot scooped under its little chest and lifted it into the air. I was horrified, and everyone froze for a few seconds waiting for it to cry. When it didn’t, their best man broke the silence and said: “What are doing you kicking babies at a wedding!!” 😂

Everything else went off without a hitch. It was a pleasure to learn and share the stories of Ell and Blake, and their gorgeous relationship which started as a somewhat forbidden high school romance, before losing touch and then reuniting years later. I also relished hearing a few stories which we respectfully omitted on the day… even though the raconteur in me was desperate to weave them into their Love Poem! There’s nothing I love more than a good story, but being privy to a secret is pretty great too.

To Ell & Blake... I said it then and I’ll say it again. There’s no doubt in my mind you have found your person! Lovely getting to know you both and I wish you a long happy marriage ♥️ x
