Mr & Mrs Paul ✨

On Saturday afternoon, Ryan & Amber agreed to stand by each other’s side through every golf trip and ER visit that is to come (hopefully less of the latter). We discussed the probability of more horses and revealed what it is they love most about their person. After sharing vows and exchanging rings, you could not wipe the beaming smiles off their faces.

Dear Summer,
You are 74 days early. Please kindly return to your seat until it is your turn. Better yet, stay seated.

Sincerely,
Someone who is not looking forward to the summer heat.

I don’t know what today’s temperature was about but I am NOT here for it.

Friday the 5th of September saw Jye & Maddi become husband and wife at the gorgeous In The Grove venue in Bundaberg.

Surrounded by lush green gardens, twinkling lights and their favourite people, they shared personal vows, tears and sealed the deal with a kiss.

Let’s chat 2026 availability -

I am fully booked for April, May and June next year! I have had to turn down a number of couples for May and this breaks my heart. So please take this as your sign to get in early when it comes to booking your preferred vendors.

The 2027 enquiries have started flooding in so I have decided to open my books for what seems like forever away.

So if you are starting to make plans, I recommend locking in your vendors asap! Particularly if your big day falls in peak season (April, May, August, September, October)

And that is a wrap on August!
9 incredible ceremonies, 9 loved up couples now husband and wife.

August was my busiest month yet and boy was it amazing! Still pinch myself that I get to call this my job.

6 wonderful couples to marry this September, plus a weekend of celebrating my little boy turning two 🥹♥️

Over the weekend I had the honour of getting this gorgeous pair married at The Rocks Yandina. Having the pleasure of knowing Brandy-Lee and her family, being asked to be a part of this day was even more special.
The most gorgeous bride, the cutest flower girls and a handsome groom - what a perfect day it was 🩷
