How they met
Jordy and Nic met in kindergarten. They’ve told this story enough times now that it’s settled into a short version they both agree on: they were four, he was the one who could climb the tallest tree, and she was the one who didn’t care that he could. They were best friends for most of what came next — school, teenage years, the slow rearrangement of life into adulthood — before the friendship quietly turned into something more. By the time they realised it, they were already mostly there.
The day
They’d recently bought a farm together, and Jordy got ready there — the property still new enough that you could smell fresh paint somewhere in one of the rooms. Nic got ready at home. Both mornings were relaxed in the way that only happens when you’ve known the person you’re marrying for twenty-plus years and there’s nothing left to be nervous about.
The ceremony was at 4:30pm at The Views Werribee — the kind of early-January afternoon where the heat has eased and the light starts doing what it does best. Nic saw Jordy arrive and his best man put a quiet hand on his back. Vows were specific. Laughter came at the right places. A couple of guests cried in the way people do when they’ve known both halves of a couple for most of their lives.
Portraits moved across the estate as the sun dropped. Cocktails at 5:30. Reception at 6:30. Dancing well past the point where anyone was checking the time.
An 8-hour day of photography, a highlight film, and the full ceremony recorded — a wedding that deserved the full treatment and then some.
A moment from the day
“Twenty-two years of being each other’s person, and we still pinched ourselves all day.” — Jordy
Planning a wedding at The Views Werribee? I’d love to hear about it.
