Sails on the Bay is a restaurant and event venue on the Elwood foreshore, two minutes from St Kilda. It opened in 1994 and sits about a metre from the sand, with glass walls giving a 180-degree view over Port Phillip Bay; the sun sets in front of the windows and the West Gate Bridge lights show across the water at night. Weddings use the Event Room, the restaurant and the terrace, with receptions from 50 to 250 and ceremonies indoors or on the beach.
Veri photographed a wedding here with the ceremony, the portraits and the reception all at Sails on the Bay, and the gallery below is that day across more than 350 frames. It is the simplest kind of bayside wedding: vows on the sand, a walk along the beach for the couple, and dinner behind glass with the sunset doing the decorating.
