Mel & Dean | Country Wedding at Barunah Plains, Geelong

Mel and Dean celebrated their wedding at Barunah Plains, a breathtaking country estate just outside of Geelong. With its wide open skies, golden fields and timeless architecture, it set the perfect tone for a day full of warmth, laughter and heartfelt moments.

The morning began with Mel getting ready alongside her closest people, with Blondie on hair and makeup bringing a relaxed yet elevated vibe to the preparations. There was a sense of calm and joy in the air that carried through the entire day.

The ceremony was beautifully led by celebrant Hannah May, who brought such heart and presence to the moment. With family and friends gathered beneath the open sky, Mel and Dean exchanged their vows in a ceremony that was personal, emotional and full of meaning.

White Rabbit Photography captured the day with a refined, natural approach — documenting every detail with honesty and care. Together, we told the story of two people very much in love, surrounded by community, celebration, and the rustic beauty of the Geelong countryside.

The film we created brings together all those details — sweeping country vistas, gentle moments, emotional speeches — into a timeless keepsake of a very special day.
