“How wonderful life is, while you’re in the world”

Ben + Stephanie met at Bella Vista Hotel where Ben worked as a barman. It was the perfect ‘meet cute’ – Stephanie ordered a glass of wine and ended up with a husband!

After 3.5 years of dating, Ben organised a red carpet proposal at Pyrmont Wharf where they had their first date. This was followed by a surprise dinner with their family and a night’s stay at the Langham.

Ben + Stephanie were due to marry 4 April 2020 but were sadly forced to postpone due to Covid. So, it was with extra ready hearts that they said their ‘I do’s’ at the beautiful St Thomas Anglican Church in North Sydney.

Stephanie wowed everyone coming down the aisle in her custom George Elssisa gown and their elation at leaving the church as husband + wife after being so patient was so special.

Following their ceremony, our team (led by first shooter Stephen Kadlec) took photos around the Opera House, before a beautiful reception on the water at Zest in the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Point Piper. There was lots of love in the room, which was special for Ben + Stephanie who were most looking forward to celebrating with their friends + family. The night was topped by a gorgeous fireworks display that they got to enjoy!

Congratulations Ben + Stephanie and thanks to the following Sydney wedding dream team:
