Sarah & Liam
I love a family farm wedding – and these two nailed it. Wed on their own slice of country, Sarah and Liam held their ceremony on their lawn with views to their rolling hills. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they shared beautiful vows and then on to 4WD adventures and whole lot of reception shenanigans. So much fun and thanks for the good times! See below for a sneak peek… xx

Alarna and Pierre
Rain, mud, laughter, wind, virtual guests, a borrowed belt (thanks Thomas!), a bouncing ring, off-roading, camping and some great ole shin digging – the recipe for a wonderfully memorable and completely original wedding day of Mr and Mrs Joubert! With family & besties absent, Alarna and Pierre soldiered on and had one of the best best days ever. Not fazed by the heavens blessing with rain, the couple shared their vows in a barn setting – complete with live streaming, dodging drips and catching smiles. So much fun and so many great moments. Can’t wait to work with you all again when your full bridal party can arrive and party! See below for a sneak peek …. xx

Brittany + Harry
When Brittany married Harry ….. wed at Lakeside Waverley – a place filled with special memories and family history – a farm based wedding was never so pretty. Arriving by Horse & Cart, Brittany stole the show with her entrance and her Pallas Couture gown. The ceremony was gorgeous, heart felt and blessed with sunshine & great company, and a well deserved tipple afterwards. Creative shots were around the farm and on to their own land, then back to the reception at the Homestead graced with gorgeous food, great tunes and brilliant speeches. Such a beautiful couple and so much fun working with these two again. Thanks for the memories and see below for a little teaser xx

Photographed for Craig MacLeod Construction, this gorgeous new addition to St. Georges by the Sea is perfection. I love the blend of materials used and the effortless flow from interior to the exterior environment. Beautiful work team!

Tash and Kai
Planning an international wedding is tough at the best of times – let alone Covid times….. With having to pop their plans on hold until borders open, Tash and Kai decided to play dress ups at Oma and Opa’s house, including them in a mini wedding shoot. This shoot was rather special as it was to celebrate their one-day-special-day mixed with celebrating Barbara and John’s 60th Anniversary. They also included their precious fur pup . … Just having the thought to do this gave me tingles, and with times uncertain it’s so important to love each moment and live in the now…. and to celebrate life in every way possible. xx
