Coolibah Downs Private Estate Wedding
A Love Story Written in God’s Perfect Timing
Adele & Matthew
Their Love Story
At 33, Adele had experienced her fair share of heartbreak and was beginning to trust that God had a different plan for her. She first met Matthew on a hike at Springbrook, where his kindness and gentle nature caught her attention. There was just one small problem: Matthew had a crush on someone else at the time! Their paths went separate ways, and neither stayed in touch. Almost two years later, fate (and a little help from Hinge) brought them back together.
This time, Adele noticed something different. Matthew’s consistency, integrity, kindness and faith stood out, and within five months, she knew he was the man she wanted to marry. Matthew was drawn to Adele’s resilience, confidence, loyalty and generous heart. They became each other’s biggest supporters, building a relationship rooted in faith, encouragement and the desire to see one another thrive.
For Adele, Matthew was an answer to prayers she had carried for years. She had asked God for a man with his character and heart. Matthew, in turn, had hoped to find someone who genuinely wanted him to succeed. Their wedding was more than a celebration of their relationship; it was an opportunity to honour God’s faithfulness and make their promises before Him, surrounded by the people they love most.

A Quote from the Vows
“I will choose you daily, as long as we both shall live.” — Matthew
“Being with you feels like coming home. Safe, peaceful, joyful, and full of rest.” — Adele
There was something so beautiful about the way Adele described their relationship. In each other, they had found not only a partner but also a place of comfort, peace and belonging.

A little about the celebration
Adele and Matthew’s ceremony reflected what mattered most to them: their faith, their commitment to one another and the people who had supported them along the way.
With worship, Scripture readings and personal vows woven into the ceremony, every part of the day felt intentional. The congregation sang Goodness of God, while readings from Song of Songs and 1 John brought the focus back to love and the foundations of a Christ-centred marriage.
And, of course, their relationship wasn’t all serious conversations and big life decisions. Their everyday love was filled with the little things that made them them, from Fakeaway Fridays to Matthew’s dad jokes and Adele embracing her role as passenger princess.
Those personal details are what make a wedding film so meaningful. Beyond the ceremony and the celebrations, it’s the little quirks, familiar smiles and moments of connection that tell the story of a couple’s life together.
