Annaleisha + Jacob
Married on 9 November 2023
The Proposal
Last September, Jacob and Annaleisha took a memorable trip to Broome to celebrate her birthday. Jacob picked her up from the airport with an exciting surprise: a helicopter ride planned for Friday! After a relaxing day of swimming, they took off just before sunset, soaring over the iconic Cable Beach, pearl farms, and sacred sites before landing on a breathtaking, secluded beach accessible only by helicopter.
While strolling along the beach, Jacob set up a drone for what Annaleisha thought was just a photo. To her surprise, he switched it to video, pulled out a ring, dropped to one knee, and proposed! Annaleisha was overjoyed—she laughed, cried, and excitedly said “YES!”
Back at the helicopter, Jacob had gone the extra mile. He’d arranged a romantic setup complete with a table, chairs, a cheeseboard, and wine. They watched the sunset, soaking in their new “just engaged” bliss before flying back for a celebratory dinner at the Oyster Bar. It was a perfect day full of love, surprises, and unforgettable memories.
Why we chose our venue
The Tiller Farm was the perfect choice; with Jacob coming from a farming background, it just made sense. They had lined up three venues to visit, but after seeing Tiller first, the decision was made on the spot. The farm’s stunning views offered a beautiful blend of rustic charm and a touch of luxury, exactly what they were looking for.
Annaleisha and Jacob also wanted a venue that could host both the ceremony and reception to avoid the need for guests and the bridal party to travel between locations. Another key factor was ensuring they had a solid backup plan for weather. Tiller Farm offered an ideal indoor option, making it easy to move the entire wedding inside if needed. It ticked all the boxes for a seamless, beautiful celebration.
Style
Their vision was a “relaxed garden party” with an all-outdoor, cocktail-style wedding that allowed guests to mingle freely and dance the night away. Instead of formal seating, they opted for textured white furniture, a beautiful white dance floor, festoon lighting, and disco balls for a luxe yet personal touch. By repurposing ceremony florals for the bar, they struck the perfect balance of simplicity and elegance without overspending on decor.
Fragrance
“I wore Chanel Gabrielle and loved it. I felt like a bride when I put it on. For me it was definitely a special occasion fragrance. It reminds me of an expensive hotel lobby with a touch of floral which I found perfect for me. I also wore this perfume at my hens party so now I wear it to all love occasions and will continue to do so and for our anniversary so the perfume will always remind me of our day and all of the special events that it is linked to”.
Best Moments
If I could relive any day, it would be our wedding—it was perfect from start to finish. Some special touches included my mum and nanna giving me away, our siblings presenting our rings during the ceremony, and fun disco balls that everyone loved. We kept the energy up with an espresso martini hour at 9 p.m. and late-night beef and gravy rolls at 11 p.m. Plus, since we did our photos on-site at Tiller, guests could watch from a distance while enjoying a drink, which they appreciated.
Advice for Future Couples
Don’t sweat the small details—what you and your guests will remember most is the time shared together, not the decor or price tags. Focus on celebrating with those you love, stay true to your vision, and plan a day that reflects you and your partner.
