Jen and Ryan are self-proclaimed minimalists, so they reflected their personal style in their wedding décor with tons of crisp whites and natural greenery! Their Oatlands Historic House and Gardens wedding was filled with some majorly beautiful DIY projects and organic elements like eucalyptus tablescapes and handmade wooden signs. Lauren Louise Photography captured every moment of Jen and Ryan’s wedding perfectly, including some fab couple portraits among the venue’s gardens!

Ryan & I both lean towards a minimal aesthetic so it was important to us to keep it simple, fresh, clean and most importantly, make it feel 100% us. We also have a lot future financial plans so keeping it on budget while not sacrificing on the things that were truly important to us was something we kept in mind throughout the whole process.
I actually felt a lot of pressure at first to choose a “wedding dress,” with more bling and details, but it just really didn’t feel like me. Ultimately, I went with my heart and chose the Leanne Marshall McKenna dress and it made me feel like I was walking in a dream. It’s simple and timeless with a modern edge which I loved. I also had minimal accessories and shoes that I could wear again after the wedding. I wanted to my whole look to be special but also practical and a reflection of my everyday personal style.
