The gallery is the wedding day in full: 76 photographs in the order they happened, from the ceremony to portraits. A companion gallery from the same day is also in the archive.
Fenix Events sits on Victoria Street in Richmond, on the Yarra River in Melbourne’s inner east. It is a reception venue with curved rooms and floor-to-ceiling glass facing the water: the Panorama room has a private balcony over the river, and the River Terrace opens its windows onto the same view. Ceremonies run outdoors by the river or indoors, for 80 to 300 guests; receptions seat up to 220 with a dance floor. The same family group runs Leonda by the Yarra in Hawthorn.
Veri photographed Shirley and Darren’s ceremony and reception here, with portraits at the Old Treasury Building on Spring Street beforehand. That pairing works: a city building for the formal frames, then back over the river for the party. Undercover parking on site and a bridal suite mean the wedding party can arrive early and stay put.
For Shirley and Darren it was the ceremony and reception venue; the day also took in Old Treasury Building.
