Real wedding | Jarred Eid with Jodi Weisz | June 2024

Rebecca & Steven at Virgin Mary and St Merkorious Coptic Orthodox Church and Zest Waterfront, Sydney

A classic and traditional wedding.

I walked away from our first meeting over some hot chocolates in a cosy cafe on a cold winter night thinking they may have been the sweetest couple ever. As the day drew closer I realised my first impression was proving to be right. Just being around them gives you a sense of hope for just being alive and in love.

I edited their images with softer romantic tones because the day felt like it softened my heart, it felt warm and they drew out of me memories that affected my creativity in such a special way.
