Black Cat Truffles Wedding – Kristy & Jamie
Gentle start, getting ready & settling the nerves
A calm arrival on the farm with a few deep breaths, boutonnières pinned under the verandah, and candid getting-ready frames that felt true to Kristy and Jamie—quiet dress details in window light, a steady hand fixing a tie, a shared smile that took the edge off nerves. We kept direction light—just enough to help them relax into the day before a short walk among the trees.
Intimate, nature-led and quietly beautiful
Set among truffle oaks and tall eucalypts just outside Ballarat, Black Cat Truffles was the perfect match for Kristy and Jamie’s intimate, nature-first celebration. They were a little nervous at the start (most couples are), but the calm of the farm, the soft breeze under the gum trees, and a ceremony surrounded by family soon settled everything. As the sun dipped, guests gathered at long, well-made tables for a relaxed feast—good food, easy conversation, and that casual country vibe the pair love.
Why Black Cat Truffles works so well
Nature all around: avenues of trees, open paddocks and a beautiful eucalyptus that’s ideal for ceremonies.
Everything in one place: prep touch-ups, ceremony, portraits and reception without leaving the property.
Golden-hour magic: soft light through the tree line for unposed, natural portraits.
Ceremony under the big eucalyptus
Vows were exchanged beneath a large eucalyptus, guests shaded in dappled light and the farm stretching beyond. We positioned the aisle for even, flattering light, then moved straight into family photos in nearby shade while everyone was together.
Portraits in the truffle trees
A slow wander along the avenues, stopping where the light pooled. Nothing forced—hand-in-hand, a few quiet prompts, and the kind of frames that feel like the two of them.
Long-table reception
Back at the venue, the long, well-made tables looked beautiful—linen runners, seasonal florals and shared plates. The mood stayed casual and warm; speeches were short and heartfelt, then an easy drift into music and conversation as the sky turned gold.
Tips for planning a Black Cat Truffles wedding
Best light: Late-afternoon ceremonies photograph best; hold 20–30 minutes at sunset for portraits under the trees.
Footwear: Paths are gravel/grass—comfortable shoes make exploring easy.
Weather plan: Light mist looks lovely in the trees; have a covered option ready for heavier rain.
Table styling: Long tables shine here—keep florals low and airy so the landscape stays the hero.
