It was at a restaurant, on an unassuming night, that Dominique Wisniewski and Mark Francis first locked eyes. The connection, I am told, was immediate. So much so, that both insist it was love at first sight. The spark between them continued to grow, eventually evolving into a partnership marked by deep understanding, quiet loyalty and a shared vision for life. Now, 15 years after that first encounter and 11 years into their relationship, the recently-married pair continue to build something that feels meaningful and lasting.

For the wedding of Sophie Lanigan and Max Volfneuk , the couple explains that their brief was “to create a world that captured the best parts of our relationship.” Sophie tells me she pulled the mood from three films — A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, and Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette — landing somewhere between tender and wild, where classic romance was given a twist of necessary mischief. Diamanté sunglasses were passed around the tables, there was a croquembouche instead of a cake, and at one point the groom took his turn to sit down at the piano and play a tune.

When Cameron Wells and Ben Rush first met at a friend’s dinner in New York, there was wine, laughter and quiet knowing. “We’d heard about each other for months,” says Cam. “Our mutual friends kept saying we needed to meet.” Both had crossed the world from New Zealand and Australia, only to find one another in a bustling Greek restaurant in Dimes Square (in the City’s Lower East Side). That night, at Kiki’s, something clicked. “Many litres of wine later, we swapped numbers and said goodbye,” Cam recalls. “That was just the beginning.”

Their first date came a few weeks later. A missed text led to a long wait at a Vietnamese spot on Orchard Street, and just when Cam thought he might have been stood up, Ben appeared. “I was waiting for a message to come downstairs,” Ben laughs. It was a cold, winter’s night, and as they walked to the subway together, Cam says, they realised that what was between them was something special. “On the corner of Delancey and Essex, we had our first kiss,” he tells me, with a smile.

Francesca Pecchenino and Leon McKay first crossed paths in 2017 in a Nora Ephron-esque ‘meet cute’. Frankie, working in PR at the time (she is also a designer), had unknowingly sponsored the opening of Leon’s new venture (he owns SAINTLEO — a multidisciplinary metal workshop) with a client’s beer. It was a coincidence that led to a serendipitous meeting between the two. The connection was instant and lasting. “We met when Leon collected the beers and the rest was history,” Frankie recalls with a laugh.

Even from those early days, their relationship was infused with a sense of lightness and laughter. Frankie is drawn to Leon’s boundless humour, his ability to make her laugh every day and the ways in which their differences encourage her to grow and evolve. “He’s my biggest supporter, but he also pushes me to be better,” she shares. Leon, in turn, admires Frankie’s tenacity and honesty. “She’s fearless and real,” he says. “She’s the kind of person who lives with passion, and I love that about her.”

Shot by Clara Pafundi and featured in VEIL ISSUE ONE, the wedding and love story of francescapecchenino and SAINTLEO is a study in the power of keeping it simple and focusing on the things that truly matter. See more at veil-magazine.com or in our first issue, still available online 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

We chose to do it on a Monday,” Bobbi Lombardo tells me. “It just felt so much more relaxed and unhurried.” Bobbi, along with her partner, Tanaka Hambira, had spent months coordinating a destination wedding in Cape Town’s Cape Winelands, something the pair tells me was building up to be an expansive event. That said, given that they had to make it (legally) official before travelling to South Africa, the pair planned a Sydney civil ceremony two months prior, which was intentionally its opposite, comprising just four witnesses, a park, champagne on the bonnet of a vintage Mercedes and a tiramisu cake.
