Tara & Emerson - The Greenhouse Medowie

couple walking along Golf Course Medowie, holding hands on their wedding day

Forget stuffy ballrooms and wilting flowers – this was a sun-drenched day buzzing with happy chatter, lovebirds saying "I do" surrounded by leafy awesomeness. That's precisely how Tara and Emerson tied the knot in Port Stephens, proving that the Greenhouse Medowie is pure wedding magic. It was hotter than a dragon's breath, but even the sun couldn't melt their smiles or the love radiating from this epic love story.

Emerson started his day chilling with the boys in a sun-soaked Airbnb, complete with a surprise that nearly melted his heart: a boudoir album and a heartfelt letter from his soon-to-be Mrs Talk about setting the mood! Meanwhile, Tara's getting-ready session was all sunshine and chill vibes. Mimosas flowed, giggles filled the air, and her hairstylist, Alicia, worked magic with a perfect ponytail (because who needs wilting flowers when you have epic hair?). Surrounded by her crew, Tara, the queen of relaxed brides, couldn't wait to marry her best friend. Tears and laughter mingled as she got a sweet note from her future husband, setting the stage for a day overflowing with feels.

Morning prep moments with bride and groom before Port Stephens wedding

The Greenhouse Eatery was their own little slice of paradise. It had everything they wanted - stunning ceremony and reception spaces, relaxed vibes (perfect for them!), and a team so awesome they even braved the heat to whisk guests away to air conditioning before the ceremony. Talk about service!

Their friend Bear, the official celebrant, weaved their love story into a ceremony filled with laughter and happy tears. Family photos captured precious moments before everyone retreated indoors for refreshing drinks and snacks. No stuffy reception lines here!

As the heat mellowed, we hopped on golf carts for a photo adventure. Laughter echoed through the air as the bridal party explored the picturesque course, each turn revealing more stunning backdrops for wedding day memories. And let's be honest, who can resist cruising around with drinks and snacks in hand?

Sunset painted the waterfront in a golden glow as Tara and Emerson, playfully dodging sprinklers, strolled hand-in-hand for romantic portraits. No awkward poses, just pure love shining through. This is what happily ever after looks like in pictures. #nailedit

The reception? Think heartfelt speeches, delicious food, laughter, and a Star Wars cake complete with Storm Troopers and a "forbidden forest" theme (because why not?). Guests filled the dance floor with infectious joy and the perfect ending? Dipping their toes in the pool, a refreshing finale to their perfect Port Stephens wedding.
