Hello May - Courtney & Angus's Country Vic Wedding

From Backyard Vows to Backyard Cricket - A Country Wedding in Tallarook

This week, we’re heading to the rolling hills of Tallarook, Victoria, where Courtney and Angus threw a love-filled, three-day bash that took over the entire town (yes, literally).

With 115 loved ones in tow, they kicked things off with a backyard ceremony at Courtney’s family home — heartfelt, rustic, and gloriously down-to-earth. The festivities continued the next day with a recovery cricket match at the local oval, complete with custom baggy greens for the Aussies and Black Caps for Angus’ Kiwi crew. "It was a tied game," they told us. "Although the rules were a bit loose, it was probably the best outcome for the marriage.” Iconic.

And before the bouquet was even tossed, the good vibes started early that morning - with the bridal party getting ready in Jade and May. One bridesmaid slipped into a sage green bathrobe (hello, country-chic calm), while another cozied up in a pink bamboo pyjama set, setting the tone for a slow, joyful start to the big day. Soft fabrics, big smiles, and maybe a few cheeky bubbles before noon? Yes, please.

📸 Photographer Nikki McCrone captured every moment like the total legend she is — from misty-eyed vows to the cricket chaos.
