With so many photo ops coming up – we thought it With so many photo ops coming up – we thought it would be fun (and important) to revisit @danibartlettphotography's podcast ep!⁠ ⁠ Dani is the face and the talent behind Melbourne-based wedding photography studio Dani Bartlett Photography, providing wedding photography and family portraits for lovers of fun and colour.⁠ ⁠ In this episode, we looked at:⁠ ⁠ 📸 How to not feel awkward posing for wedding photos⁠ 📸 What to look for in wedding photographers⁠ 📸 Balancing candid and formal photographers⁠ 📸 Completely candid vs guided candid photographers⁠ 📸 Effective posing techniques⁠ 📸 Breathing fresh life into family portraits⁠ ⁠ Find the full ep at the link in our bio!⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: A navy graphic. At the top is white text that reads "Episode 29: What You Need To Know About Posing & Wedding Photography With Dani of Dani Bartlett Photography" Below is a photo of Dani. She is in front of a white backdrop, wearing a black shirt and laughing as confetti rains down. Rainbow text at the bottom reads "The Feel Good Wedding Podcast", with a graphic of a microphone in white and hearts of pink and red coming out the top left.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: The same photo of Dani as image one. There is a white waveform and captions as she talks.⁠ ⁠ She says, "You've got to find a photographer that aligns with you. If you're someone that's like, I don't really like photos, and I freeze when there's a camera in my face, which, to be honest like 95% of people will say, you got to find a photographer. Don't pick a photographer that does those rigid posed poses. You find someone that you like, like you'd have a drink with. Yeah, you have a drink with, and they're laughing, and they're having fun, and if all their previous work, everyone just looks like they're living and they're moving."]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingVendors #WeddingDirectory #WeddingWebsite #WeddingInspo #WeddingInspiration #WeddingBlogger #TheFeelGoodWeddingPodcast #WeddingPodcast #Podcast #AustralianPodcast #AustralianWeddingPodcast #WeddingPlanning #Podcaster
If you host your engagement party, surprise weddin If you host your engagement party, surprise wedding or anniversary celebration here; can we please come? Take a look at what this... glamorous ✔️ poolside ✔️ rooftop ✔️ ...venue is offering this season in our Story now. Think Côte d' Azur but MUCH closer to home! x Ms Fleur de Lys [Image description: A low angle shot of an azure blue-tiled pool takes up half the frame.

Have you noticed the subtle shift we've seen this Have you noticed the subtle shift we've seen this year? We're moving away from what's being dubbed "sad, beige, boring Christmas" toward something that's being called "tacky Christmas." Now, let's be clear here – tacky Christmas isn't actually tacky. It's technicolor joy. It's those special ornaments from your childhood that might not match but tell your story. It's sparkles, shiny baubles, and a sense of unabashed celebration. And people are here for it. The comments we see? "Yes, recovering sad beige addict here, bring on the joy!" Have we been doing the same thing with weddings these past few years? Even now, the perfectly curated, perfectly executed celebrations (by amazingly talented vendors, no less) are stunning, beautiful, pinnable, and “likeable”. These are the ones that collect the likes, the follows, and the features. But in our pursuit of perfection, have we muted our joy? What about the colour explosions that make your heart sing? The mismatched details that tell your story? The silly little sentimental things – like displaying the first stuffed toy they gave you or boldly featuring your favourite colours of orange and blue? The things that might not be "Pinterest perfect" but are perfectly, wonderfully you? It isn't that these personal touches don't appear in weddings - they do. But there's an undercurrent of pressure, an unspoken rulebook of "must-do’s" and "absolutely-must-not-do’s." Don't follow too many traditions, or you'll be labelled basic. Don't go too off-trend, or you'll regret it. Don't be too on-trend, or you'll look dated. It's exhausting, isn't it? We know we're beating the same drum we always do here at Polka Dot Wedding, but maybe that's because it bears repeating: what if doing it your way – regardless of pins, likes, or raised eyebrows from well-meaning relatives – is actually the secret to a truly memorable celebration? What if we bring that "tacky" Christmas energy to weddings and celebrate what makes each love story uniquely, authentically yours? Perhaps it's time to turn up the joy. To embrace the "tackiness" of being completely, unabashedly yourself. Because in the end, isn't that what celebrations are really about?
Dreaming of a wedding venue that feels like it’s Dreaming of a wedding venue that feels like it’s been plucked from a fairytale?⁠ ⁠ At @pottersreceptions, six acres of native landscaped gardens, a wisteria-draped courtyard, and a beautiful garden chapel create the perfect backdrop for your love story. ⁠ ⁠ Just a 20-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD at the gateway to the Yarra Valley, it’s the ideal blend of elegance and convenience.⁠ ⁠ Whether you're envisioning a cosy indoor ceremony or an open-air celebration, Potters has it all! ⁠ ⁠ Start planning your unforgettable day today by heading to the Polka Dot Directory at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ psst!
