There are weddings that feel like a fairytale — and then there’s Janet and Charbel’s wedding at the iconic San Remo Ballroom in Melbourne. This wasn’t just a celebration; it was an experience, a cinematic spectacle of elegance, intimacy, and unforgettable joy. Captured through the editorial lens of Augmented Arts Weddings, their day unfolded like scenes from a romantic film — with light, love, and legacy stitched into every frame.
A Venue Steeped in Sophistication
San Remo Ballroom is one of Melbourne’s most revered wedding venues, known for its grand chandelier, art deco interiors, and timeless opulence. Janet and Charbel’s choice of this space was nothing short of perfect — a venue that echoes with history yet holds space for deeply personal moments. As the couple entered the ballroom, hand in hand, they were not just walking into a venue — they were stepping into their forever, surrounded by glowing lights and refined ambiance.
This is the kind of place where romance meets luxury — and it matched our couple’s vision to the finest detail.
Capturing Love in Motion
At Augmented Arts Weddings, we don’t just shoot weddings — we translate emotions into timeless imagery. Our approach blends cinematic storytelling with editorial elegance, ensuring every photo feels like it belongs in a magazine — but with all the heart of a real, raw love story.
From the first glance to the last dance, Janet and Charbel radiated a connection that needed no script. Our lenses followed their story through laughter, gentle touches, and the deep stillness of that intimate first embrace on the dance floor. The towering chandelier above them glowed like a halo — illuminating not just the space, but the quiet magic between two people deeply in love.
The Moments That Made It
The beauty of Janet and Charbel’s wedding wasn’t just in the grandeur — it was in the details. The soft veil cascading from Janet’s shoulders. Charbel’s look of awe as he saw her walk toward him. The elegance of their first dance, framed by crystal light and echoes of applause. It’s in these moments that our team thrives — capturing what others may miss, and preserving it forever.
We used a combination of natural light techniques, editorial framing, and cinematic retouching to bring out the drama and emotion of the ballroom setting. Each photograph is a balance of art and authenticity — because your memories deserve nothing less.
