COVER SHOOT: BEHIND THE SCENES

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect autumn day for our cover shoot, with the stunning Rocklea Farm as the backdrop for our celebration of love. Beautifully captured by Verity Stubbs of Ginger + Mint, Emma McFarlane from Blush Bar created a timeless bridal look on model Mariana Restrepo, while Keeden Graham – an Aboriginal youth mentor and Young Australian of the Year nominee, stepped out for his first modelling assignment (we think you’ll agree, he is a natural in front of the camera). From diamonds and pearls from Charles Rose to complement each locally-sourced look, to flowers by Florette, it was all topped off with a visit from Casey Hurst and her incredible pink Miss Fizz van.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Wadawurrung land on which we gathered and pay our deepest respects to their Elders, past, present and future.
