Melisa and Luke’s reception was held at the Plaza Ballroom in the Regent Theatre in Melbourne so, after their ceremony in West Melbourne, we suggested that their bridal party shots could be taken nearby at the Treasury Gardens.

The equally ornate ballroom was another stunning location and as it is below the theatre it is also one of the coolest places to be on a hot day. So our thanks to Melisa and Luke for choosing such an appropriate place for a 38 degree wedding...
