Adele & James

Adele + James | State Library Victoria

Some weddings stay with you long after the last frame is captured. Adele and James's wedding at the State Library Victoria is absolutely one of them.

From our very first conversation, it was clear these two were something special — warm, fun, and completely at ease with each other. That energy carried through every single moment of their day, and honestly, it made my job a joy. As a photographer, there is nothing better than a couple who are genuinely themselves in front of the camera — and Adele and James were exactly that.

The State Library Victoria is one of Melbourne's most iconic and breathtaking wedding venues, and it never fails to deliver. The architecture, the light, the sense of history — it creates an atmosphere that is almost impossible to replicate. Paired with the extraordinary styling of Styled by Valentina, every detail of this wedding was considered, intentional, and beautiful. Adele wore a gown by Mariana Hardwick that was nothing short of stunning — elegant, timeless, and perfectly her.

Adele + James | State Library Victoria

My approach at Theodore & Co has always been relaxed yet refined — I believe the best wedding photography happens when couples feel comfortable, connected, and free to simply enjoy their day. Adele and James embodied that philosophy entirely, and the result is a gallery of images I am incredibly proud of.

If you are planning a wedding at the State Library Victoria or looking for a Melbourne wedding photographer who will feel less like a vendor and more like a friend with a very good camera — I would love to hear from you.

Congratulations to Adele + James on their most beautiful wedding!
