Woolbrook Homestead // Teesdale ,Victoria

Rachel and Brad’s celebration of love at the stunning historic Woolbrook Homestead was everything you could dream of — elegant, emotional, and full of laughter. Set in the heart of country Victoria, the venue accommodated all their needs for the perfect wedding day. We loved capturing their love story against the historic bluestone architecture, paired with modern interior design. As Melbourne wedding videographers, moments like these remind us why we do what we do.

From the moment we met Rachel and Brad, we knew their day would be something special. You couldn’t ask for a more perfectly balanced couple. Brad is softly spoken, with a quiet confidence and a shy smile. He has a calm, steady warmth that makes everyone feel at ease. Rachel, on the other hand, is full of energy and laughter. Her bubbly personality lights up every room, and her joy is completely infectious. On the wedding day, filming all those in-between moments while they were unaware of the camera allowed them to feel completely at ease and comfortable being their beautiful selves.
