Maddy and Alessio
23 March 2024

Maddy and Alessio’s journey is a beautiful testament to love, food, and adventure. Both horticultural scientists, they share a deep passion for plants, spending countless hours planning and working in their home garden. Their love story began in the most unexpected of places—Tatura—despite Alessio’s Sicilian roots.

Their intimate 2020 lockdown wedding was special, but by 2024, they were ready for a bigger celebration. They chose the charming Harvest Home in Avenel, an old country pub, as the perfect setting for their long-awaited party.

The day was filled with joy and laughter, starting with an intimate garden ceremony. Maddy looked stunning in a beautiful flowing gown by Nicole Milano, and Alessio’s sister sang a beautiful song as they walked down the aisle. The atmosphere was relaxed and filled with love, reflecting Maddy and Alessio’s easygoing and joyful personalities.

The blend of Australian and Sicilian traditions added a unique flavor to the celebration. In true Italian style, cannoli and gelato were served to guests as a late-night treat (which I just had to taste test of course!!). The mingling of cultures was a beautiful reminder of how love brings people together, no matter where they are from.

Maddy and Alessio’s love story is rooted in their shared passions and adventures. Their celebration reflected who they are—a couple who finds joy in life’s simple pleasures, whether working in their garden, exploring new places, or dancing with loved ones.

In their own words, Maddy and Alessio wanted their day to be about fun and connection, a time for friends and family to come together and celebrate love. And it was just that—a magical day filled with unforgettable moments, laughter, and the warmth of two families becoming one.

It was an absolute joy to capture Maddy and Alessio’s special day, a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.
