Love Story Magazine Numero Two Launch

The Wedding Series Founder Kate O’Shea with Guests of Honour David Novak-Piper and Neale Whitaker

The Wedding Series launched their 2018 Love Story Magazine at The Old Clare Hotel on Tuesday 17th July. The event was held in the hotel’s beautiful event space ‘Silvereye’ to a room full of the Australian Luxury Industries finest including Guests of Honour Neale Whitaker and David Novak-Piper, Mud Australia Founder Shelly Simpson, Cultiver Linen Founder Nicolle Sullivan and Stylist Jeff Lack.

Influencers and talent featured in the magazine joined in the celebrations including Jade Tuncdoruk and Lachie Brycki, Menswear Designer Brent Wilson with wife Asha Wilson.

Guests were treated to a three course meal curated by Two Chefs Hat winner Automata’s Executive Chef Clayton Wells with each course being created by separate restaurants associated with the hotel including Kensington Street Social, Automata and A1 Canteen with each dish served on Mud Australia handmade porcelain plates.

The Wedding Series Founder Kate O’Shea said of the evening ‘the launch event epitomised everything The Wedding Series encapsulates; exquisite food and service, beautiful floral, the finest styling and event details, fabulous company and lots of love and authenticity in everything we do.’

There was an abundance of love in the room as Kate unveiled The Wedding Series first same sex Love Story featuring Neale Whitaker and David Novak-Piper. The tender images perfectly capture the couples enduring 15 year relationship and celebrate The Old Clare Hotel as a stunning same sex wedding venue.

An insight into the evening was beautifully captured on film by Motion Reel Films.
