Lauren and James's Amazing Circus Wedding in Melbourne (79)

James and Lauren’s Amazing Circus Extravaganza Wedding at the Spiegeltent in Melbourne

To be honest, when you’re at a wedding every week, there could be the expectation that you’ve seen pretty much everything that could happen. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected to be involved in something like James and Lauren’s wedding. Over the space of two days, I had the opportunity to document something that I’ve never ever seen nor could possibly expect to see again – a circus wedding where every guest was dressed up, circus performers did amazing acts, a well trained dog brought the rings down the aisle and photographs with a motorbike that not only was the bride’s father’s labour of love, but in essence a family heirloom.

After over 10 years together, Lauren decided that 2012 (having a February 29th which traditionally was the day women are “allowed” to propose to their partners) was an apt opportunity to propose. She hung a banner on a bridge over a motorway and shocked the life out of James as they drove underneath. And here they were with beaming smiles, Lauren dressed as a showgirl and James as an circus ringmaster, getting married in The Spiegeltent surrounded by the most colourful set of guests the world will probably ever see.

I need to thank my awesome friend Ian who filled in at the last minute when Kristen was taken ill – he’d never photographed using Canon before but read the manual on the morning of the wedding to figure out where all the buttons were and took a whole bunch of amazing photographs which are intermingled in the images below.

    1. so glad there were no clowns at this circus party. they’re kinda scary.
    2. i can’t decide which outfit was best (other than the bride+groom) the muscle boy or elephant
    3. i’m currently finishing up the book The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and this post kinda brought it to life for me.
