Lucy and Alex were the most amazing couple. We hit is off straight away and I felt so lucky to be a part of their wedding day. Alex and Lucy’s love blossomed over a period of three years.

Ironically, she was going through the same surgery and was also writing a blog about her experiences. Lucy decided to plan

Renee and Dean were married at Killara Estate. I love this family run property, with sprawling views of the valley. There are a few different options for your ceremony location and Renne and Dean choose the deck as their location. Their wedding fell on an extremely hot day, with temperatures reaching over 34 degrees. Renne and Dean wanted the beautiful views as a backdrop, and Tizia May captured these exceptionally well. The guests did their best to stay out of the heat, while also being close

Alex and Alex were married at The Abbotsford Convent. As always the area where they got married at The Convent, looked amazing. Actually, they got married in an area of the gardens, which I had never done a wedding before and it worked extremely well.

Monica and Bo came into my life in an unexpected way. Their celebrant broke her ankle and I was asked to fill in for her and officiate their wedding. When we first met in the City, we chatted about their day and what they were wanting to include. I was quickly told how many people would be travelling for the occasion and how they wanted to highlight their parents in the ceremony. They decided to do a present giving to the mothers as well as a wine box ceremony. The wine box ceremony means, you

Their wedding day holds a special place in my heart, as it was my 500th wedding and I got to share it with some pretty ace suppliers.Petra from Pomp and Splendour did the most amazing job with the flowers.

Brooke and Dean were married at The Sandbar Beach Cafe, one of my favourites!It was a lovely warm evening on the 4th of March, 2018. We had a day of storms and the weather was doing it’s own thing. It was not clear if an outside wedding would be on the cards, as the storms looked settled.
