Holly + Shane // An intimate gathering of just 20 of their nearest and dearest set the tone for a ceremony rich in meaning and beautiful emotion. Guests arrived by coach afterwards to a celebration of colourful florals and Italian canapés, ending with gelato beneath the night sky. A day we’ll hold close for years to come 🤍

Sophie + Nick. A wedding day that felt as intentional as it was beautiful. Every detail reflected who they are: thoughtful, grounded, so much fun, and deeply connected 🤍

Having grown up with brothers who are true gentlemen, it’s no wonder Sophie found a husband just as divine. An absolute pleasure to watch two families with such deep connections come together to celebrate two beautiful people.

Today marks a special day at Longfords - our beautiful matriarch Fenella turns 90!

If you’ve been to Longfords, chances are you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Fenella, the heart behind the homestead, and like her gardens, the perfect mix of structure and wild.

Her warmth, generosity, and passion have shaped Longfords into the special place it is today. At 90, she’s still as full of life as ever.

Happy birthday, Fenella - we’re endlessly grateful for you 🤍
