Venita Manning - Marriage Celebrant

AARON 🤍 TAYLOR

Taylor and Aaron's love story started in the least expected place. It started with balconies across from each other during Schoolies in Surfers.

Back in 2010, two 17-year-olds spotted each other from neighbouring apartments. There were laughs, a little bit of rum-fuelled confidence, some enthusiastic balcony banter and somewhere along the way, a mysterious pair of green shorts disappeared.

What started as a Schoolies connection turned into something much bigger.

Over the years, they've grown up together, built a beautiful life, welcomed Harry and Lewie, survived countless camping adventures and mastered all the chaos life brings.

Aaron loves Taylor's smile, her kindness, and the way she can light up a room without even trying. Taylor loves Aaron's adventurous spirit, his sense of humour, and his enormous heart... even if the water jug doesn't always get refilled.

At The Bethnal, they celebrated a love story that's been years in the making. One built on friendship, laughter, loyalty, and choosing each other every single day.

And honestly, that's a pretty good outcome from Schoolies. 🤍

I forgot the Panadol or similar. You need to cut that headache off at the pass. I do carry these as well.

Behind every calm, organised ceremony… is a celebrant who absolutely cannot behave during a group photoshoot.
Safe to say the Brisbane Marriage Celebrants understood the assignment: have fun first, look professional second.
Thanks to Terri Hanlon Photography for capturing both sides of us at Howard Smith Wharves.

Just a group of Brisbane Marriage Celebrants casually taking over the riverfront like we’re on a reality show no one asked for.
We came for “a few quick photos”…�We stayed for the laughs, the posing debates, and at least 47 “one more shot” moments.
Shot by the very patient Terri Hanlon Photography at Howard Smith Wharves.

Turns out if you put a group of celebrants together at Howard Smith Wharves with a camera and zero supervision… productivity is questionable, but the laughs are guaranteed.

Big thanks to Terri Hanlon Photography for capturing the chaos (and somehow making it look professional).

Apologies to every jogger and cyclist we mildly inconvenienced along the way.

🤍🤍
