New Year’s Eve Wedding at Old Melbourne Gaol

Some wedding venues are chosen because they’re pretty. Others actually mean something.

For Erin + Rhys, Old Melbourne Gaol made perfect sense.

The two of them met while working in a youth prison, so getting married inside one of Melbourne’s most iconic prison buildings felt less like a gimmick and more like a full-circle moment. Dark, moody, a little chaotic, and completely personal — exactly how alternative weddings should feel.
