After travelling the world together, Chanelle and Andy chose their home city of Fremantle to tie the knot. Captured by Alexandra Cohen, their relaxed and effortless wedding was a chance to catch up with family from far and wide, and share their excitement concerning a little surprise bump!

The celebration kicked off with drinks on the deck at Kidogo Arthouse, with a champagne tower from Euphoric Events. Chanelle shares, “We wanted people to enjoy themselves overlooking Bathers beach, having a drink and watching us make our vows.” The stunning backdrop meant the couple could keep their décor pared back, with a simple timber arbour and pampas grass. So that their English staffy, Betty, could be part of the day, their neighbour brought him along to the ceremony to fulfil her role as ring bearer. “It was touch and go in case Betty decided to chase the seagulls on the beach instead, but thankfully she ran straight to Andy.”

With luck on their side, the couple were able to nab one of the last available summer dates at the character-filled Distribution Lane, where they partied the night away. Wanting a stand-up cocktail-style reception where everyone could mingle, the couple opted for local Fremantle food truck Comida do Sul, who served up modern Brazilian street eats. “Dany and Joel are incredible. We were lucky to be the first couple to have a taste test at their Fremantle premises with Andy’s parents. From there we specialised a menu to suit our taste. It was a special experience for all parties involved.”
