March has been busy, but wonderful.

"Thankyou so much for being our celebrant Camille!
We had so many people mention how good you were!
Wouldn't have been the same without you!"

If you're using the weird week between Christmas and New Years to cross some life admin off your list, this post I wrote about the simplest way to change your last name after you get married, might be handy to save. 😉

Super proud to have been invited to be a part of this series of interviews with some of the industry leading vendors of South Australian weddings. 💛

Conceptualised, hosted, & produced by Josh Fernihough of Oaktree Studios in their schmick Prospect studio, he digs into the why that drives his guests (so a good watch for vendors) and advice for engaged couples too.

PLUS, he's made my voice sound 👌😅

Not a bad bunch of celebrants to work beside, I've gotta say. 🥰

So if I don't float your boat, or are already booked for your wedding date, one of my colleagues here would be an excellent choice. 👌

Family-centric wedding celebrations can go one of two ways: either double the stress due to the unrealistic expectations of how young children should behave or like an imperfectly perfect, messy and joyous experience for all involved.

And one of the biggest factors that makes the difference between these two results, I believe, is the way the soon-to-be-married couple handles things before and during their wedding.

In the planning, Lindsey and Will chose a venue that is kid-friendly, with lots of different seating options (chairs, sure, but also blankets, cushions etc.), somewhere to play (sandpit & tyre swing) and they made sure there were lots of different hand-held food and drinks available.

It changed the game.

Lindsey and Will also asked me to make a little announcement at the beginning of their ceremony along the lines of: "Lindsey and William understand how kids will be kids and don’t expect the little ones to be quiet. So please feel comfortable
to do what you need to, so they feel comfortable too."

How brilliant is that?

Much love,
Cam x.

Some ceremonies are not a 'yell it from the rooftops' type of occasion.

Sometimes they are unassuming, quiet and sure. Good-natured, earnest and warm. 🥰

This was the flavour and intention for Micaela and Heath's wedding at Mount Lofty House in March.

When you don't want a "wedding" wedding.
Just 5 or 6 of your people.

But also want it to be stylish AF with a stunning aesthetic, and not to be rushed; if you want to feel comfortable and relaxed too, then book Emily from The Modern Approach.

Reece and Natasha did just that at the idyllic Marybank Estate and I was lucky enough to create and conduct their wedding ceremony for them.

We had bagpipes, laughs, tears and lots of champagne and it was bloody incredible, to be honest.

Simple, romantic and meaningful for Chloe and Ethan meant keeping their wedding true to their values starting with their ceremony under the magic tree in Burbrook Forest, Kuitpo.

Friends of 4 other couples I've married over the years, Connie and Joe stand up for each other and what they believe in and, in general, are just a bloody pleasure to be around. So I felt honoured when they booked me to conduct their wedding ceremony over a year ago.

Little did I realise at the time that:
1) they would shortly welcome their beautiful boy, Patrick, to their family,
2) Joe in his capacity as a podiatrist would cure my excruciating plantar fasciitis, and
3) they would also be the 1000th couple who I've ever married.

An incredibly special and happy day for everyone connected to them for sure. And I heard that their reception was pretty wild too.

Congrats Mr & Mrs Keain! xx

Good info for those couples looking to book in a photobooth for their wedding. 👏

Photo booth hire reviews - don't hire a photo booth without reading plenty of the company's reviews so you feel 100% confident.

"Love is like a beautiful flower,
but it can also be dangerous
like a tiger
with a gun."
Louise Belcher - age 9.

When an engaged couple gives of themselves and are a little vulnerable, a little honest, a little silly and ALL themselves, their wedding literally can't go wrong - even if the Father of the Bride's phone rings during the ceremony. 😅

Thank you Tess and Tony for trusting me. I had the THE most wonderful time working with you, creating and then conducting your quirky turkey ceremony.
