21.09.2025 🎶

Matt & Fi chose September 21 for a reason:
“It’s our day.
The day we became boyfriend and girlfriend…
the day we got engaged…
and now the day we will be married.”

And hells yes, I absolutely out of tune sang Earth, Wind & Fire and tried to harmonise with during the ceremony,
because how could I not? 🎶✨

Their celebration at was full of good music, cheekiness, and personal touches that made it bloody unforgettable!

Brad & Brodie’s day was full of powerful moments, heartfelt vows and (as always, giggles and laughter), and it ended with the sweetest throwback to their very first date.
It’s my most favourite way to conclude a ceremony 🥹

Before that date, Brodie messaged her cousin saying she was about to “meet my future husband.”
Turns out, she was (and always is) right!

From Brad’s nervous laugh to the butterflies Brodie still recalls, this wedding was a celebration of everything that started with that moment.

And holy guacamole 🥑 , was I thankful to be there 🫶🏻

26.04.2025

Lachie and Letitia’s day was all about relaxed vibes and celebrating the beauty in the simple things they share together as a couple.
You know, the things we all enjoy sharing with our fave person or people: weekends away, local markets, and cheering each other on (whether it be at sport or just in life!).

Their wedding reflected that perfectly, with family, friends,
a cute little family of ducks pre ceremony cameo 🦆 and plenty of laughter and good times!

The Botanical Gardens in Castlemaine, were a stunning backdrop.
Shout out to the gentleman that asked me if this was the “theatre performance” taking place in the park that afternoon! 😂🎭

Love ya, Lachie and Letitia 🫶🏻

22.04.2025

This day was very special to me, as it was the day my dear friend, Caro allowed me to legalise her union to her love, Aydin in Australia.
It wasn’t their wedding celebration, that bad boy was celebrated with their village in none other than ITALY 🍋✨
And I had the privilege of crafting their story for their European celebrant to deliver- what a joy!

Learning about a work colleague in such an intimate, no frills just unadulterated love and passion for a lifetime together,
well, it’s truly such an honour.

I had always respected and admired Caro for her creativity and dedication to her work. She is an incredible photographer/videographer and creative (don’t take my word for it, check her out! )
To have her ask me to support her and Aydin on this journey was really something special.
I know I’m a sucker for sentimentality but, it was a joy!

Here’s to Caro, Aydin and a very exciting 2026 🥹🫶🏻

Laura & Lachy celebrated their day at the stunning , and it was full of sentimental touches, light and shade, and family moments.

These two embody what it is to be in a partnership,
to genuinely be each other’s best friend.
To be actively choosing to do life and family, together ✨

One of the sweetest highlights? Their little legend Vinnie, absolutely nailed his big line: “Dad, you can now kiss Mum.” 💛

From live music that set the perfect tone to fandangled styling and heartfelt vows, this day was everything they hoped for.

Elise & Nick what a freaking incredible day at ! 🥂

These two are not only dearly loved friends (Elise and I grew up in Swan Hill!), they are SO MUCH fun!
I love their dry, witty humour, the little fambam they have created with Syd and Lenny 🩷🩷 and their glorious origin story!

March 29 was all about good vibes, great tunes, and celebrating a love that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Nick even had a shot of homemade spicy pickle juice before his vows 🥒🌶️

Here’s to a lifetime of belly cackles, inside jokes, and alllllll the good things. 💕

Big love to these bebis:

✈️🤍✨ CAITLYN & JORDAN ✨🤍✈️

I LOVE THESE TWO!

And I cannot believe they are 217 days wed 🥹😭
I befriended these delightful humans back in August of 2023 and I’m so grateful for their friendship 🤍

This day was pure romance, loverinos.
It was classy, it was funny
and it had that delightful touch of dorkiness that I absolutely adore.

The sun was sunning,
was looking positively divine
and Caitlyn and Jordan were amongst their people- what more could you want! 🫶🏻
Actually, there is ONE thing! A joyful mention to their Daisy girl 🐶

I left this ceremony with the biggest smile on my face, I’ll say it again and again,
I MARRY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! 🥹✨

Please let’s marvel at that the day that was Caitlyn and Jordan’s wedding day.
Caitlyn’s dress was 🔥

🫶🏻🔥 AMY & JASON 🔥🫶🏻

It was so fab to visit my old hometown of Swan Hill and marry these legends!
I first met them when officiating their friends’ wedding (shoutout to Brit and Dyl!) and was so chuffed when they reached out!
It’s the biggest compliment when someone says they like your vibes/service and would like them incorporated in their own special day 🥹

And so I learned and adored the love story of Amy and Jase 🧑‍🧑‍🧒
How they appreciate the simpler and more sweeter things in life, like fishing, camping and above all else spending time with their sweet family 👶🏻🐶

I meet their village, the people they hold dearest
and it was such a joy to see them celebrating together 🫶🏻
I have no doubt these two did me proud and partied on into the night! 🪩 As they should!

So let’s gather together, loverinos,
And bask in the delight that was Amy and Jason’s wedding day!
And more importantly, let’s celebrate their 223 days of marriage!

So much love to the vendor crew tagged! ily! 🫶🏻

(With special shoutout to another love of their lives, Daisy 🐱)

These two and this ceremony were so chill,
so sweet
just hanging out with good friends,
beautiful humans in love (my favourite type of ceremony!).

I loved friending these two, learning more about their history, and how they came to be 🫶🏻
There were powerful, big feeling moments,
Joyful moments,
And lots of cheekiness and laughs!

And oh so much fun was had at the rehearsal!
Never had a kiss and dip been so complex! 😂😍

So sweet, loverinos,
Please join me in reminiscing on Briony and Nick’s freaking awesome day,
The best day.

(I marry the best couples 🥹)
