Melbourne Cup Lunch | emme James Street

The 2025 Melbourne Cup lunch at emme James Street was a celebration of race-day style, great food, and Brisbane’s vibrant social scene.

Bathed in soft natural light and styled with warm, earthy tones, the much-loved Fortitude Valley restaurant provided a beautiful backdrop for an afternoon of colour, excitement, and fun. From beautifully plated dishes to bold fashion moments and flowing champagne, every detail added to the sense of occasion.

Events like this are defined by their layers — intimate moments at the table, candid interactions between guests, and the collective buzz of the room as it comes alive. Moving between close-up details and wider scenes allowed the full story of the day to unfold, capturing not just what the event looked like, but how it felt to be there.

The resulting image collection reflects the personality of the venue and the spirit of the day, offering versatile visuals that can be used across marketing, social media, and future promotions.
