Rachel & Adam’s Magical Day at The Ridge Estate
Rachel and Adam tied the knot on the 23rd of March, 2024, at the breathtaking The Ridge Estate in Peats Ridge on the Central Coast. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the venue’s perfect blend of intimacy and spaciousness. Everything—from the cozy onsite accommodation to the multiple ceremony locations and the picturesque reception space—was just a stone’s throw away, yet it all felt so open and expansive.
Surrounded by lush greenery, gardens, and an expansive field, The Ridge Estate is a dream venue for couples wanting stunning backdrops without the hassle of excessive travel on their big day.
The Perfect Garden Ceremony
Rachel and Adam’s ceremony took place in a shaded garden setting, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery—a tranquil escape on what was a warm, sunny day. The Nuptials Co led a heartfelt ceremony, weaving in Rachel and Adam’s story while including a touching moment featuring their son. The highlight of the ceremony was the joyful aisle exit, with natural confetti showers creating a magical moment as the couple walked back as husband and wife.
A Romantic Photo Adventure
After a group photo and formal family portraits in the garden, we moved to the nearby open field for bridal party photos. The field offered a change of scenery with expansive views, and it was the perfect spot for a champagne pop to keep the energy high.
Next, we broke away with just Rachel and Adam for their couple’s shoot. We explored the field, the nearby gardens, and some hidden spots behind the ceremony space, capturing intimate and natural moments along the way. One of the standout features of The Ridge Estate is its iconic open-air shed, adorned with twinkling fairy lights. We knew this would be a magical location to revisit after sunset.
Celebrating Under the Stars
Rachel and Adam made a casual and joyful entrance to their reception, joining their guests for cocktail hour featuring delicious platters by Forage and Feast Platters. Dinner, served by Central Coast Events, followed shortly after. The speeches brought laughter and happy tears, setting the perfect tone for their first dance as a married couple.
Once the sun set, we returned to the fairy-lit shed with Rachel and Adam for some stunning evening shots. The warm glow of the lights combined with the quiet intimacy of the moment created some of our favorite images of the day—so much so that we’ve showcased them in our wedding expos, framed for all to see.
