Today’s wedding is the beautiful celebration of Jojo and Peter!Jojo and Peter met while working at an architecture firm together in Brisbane. Although it wasn’t love at first site, the couple developed a mutual respect and friendship for each other which blossomed into romance.

Peter proposed after a day on the beach at the Gold Coast and the couple wed six months later.

Jojo and Peter married at Graceville Uniting Church in Graceville Queensland (chosen for it’s Inter-war gothic style architecture) and celebrated at Venice Cafe & Restaurant, Brisbane (chosen for it’s riverview frontage and venetian like decoration).

Jojo and Peter chose a colour palette of apricot, chocolate and cream for their wedding day and had family pitch in and help. Jojo’s gown was bought as a gift from her mother and sister from a shop in Malaysia, her earrings were her mothers, the stationery was made with the help of friends using their PJ insignia.

The couple chose photographer Todd McGaw to capture their wedding day
