Real wedding | Jarred Eid | December 2023

Harriet & Declan at McMahons Point, Emma's Snack Bar and Jacoby's Tiki Bar, Sydney

If you have ever wanted to see a “no pose” coverage this is it. I was a true fly on the wall. I just leaned into the obscurity and rawness of the day and allowed for an unperfected coverage. Which resulted in the feeling you got by being around these guys. Nothing was fake, they were so down to earth that I didn’t really know how to take it.

We caught a ferry and a train then walked to their restaurant. They shied away from attention and did not show many displays of affection in the traditional sense. It was an amazing lesson in participation without formality.
