What a beautiful day celebrating Lilly & Nathan at Gledswood Homestead & Winery ❤️

From primary school classmates to husband and wife, their story has come full circle. One message brought them back together, and over the years they’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, family, and one very special little boy.

Of course, there was also the moment we convinced the Best Man that he’d forgotten the rings… I’ve never seen someone go from relaxed to absolutely panicked so quickly! 😂

Thank you for trusting me to be part of such an incredible day. It was an absolute privilege to tell your story and officially declare you husband and wife.

I haven’t posted for a little while, but I’ve had some beautiful weddings over the past few months that I can’t wait to share with you.

Starting with Kelsey and Chris.

These two tied the knot at the stunning Gledswood Homestead & Winery, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.

Now, I affectionately referred to them as the modern-day Brady Bunch. Between them, they’re raising six children, juggling busy lives, endless schedules, and all the wonderful chaos that comes with a blended family. Yet through it all, they’ve built something truly special.

One of my favourite parts of being a celebrant is getting to tell stories like theirs. Every couple has a unique journey, and I love bringing those stories to life in a way that feels authentic, personal, and memorable.

Congratulations again, Kelsey and Chris. Thank you for trusting me to be part of such an important chapter in your lives. ❤️

📸 More photos from this beautiful day coming soon…

Last night I had the absolute privilege of attending the Australian Wedding Awards for 2025, hosted at the Sofitel, Wentworth in Sydney.

Australia’s best wedding vendors came together to celebrate excellence, passion, and the love stories we are so lucky to be part of... and what an unforgettable night it was.

I am incredibly honoured (and still a little in disbelief) to share that I have been recognised as the #1 Winner for the Civil Marriage Celebrant / MC category, not only in Greater Sydney, but across all of Australia.

This award represents so much more than a title. It reflects every love story I’ve had the privilege of writing, telling, and standing beside over the past 6 years. Every couple who trusted me with one of the most important moments of their lives... this award belongs to you too.

First and foremost, thank you to my partner, Jason and my beautiful children, R & J. Your patience, love, and support make it possible for me to do what I love, often on weekends, late nights, and long days... I couldn’t do this without you.

To my family and friends, thank you for your constant encouragement, belief, and support, even when this journey felt overwhelming.

To every couple I have married over the past 6 years... thank you for choosing me, trusting me, and allowing me into your stories. You are the heart of everything I do.

Thank you to the Australian Wedding Industry Awards for continuing to champion and promote Australia’s very best wedding vendors and for recognising the passion that goes into this industry.

And finally, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to my dear friend Leica. Your support over the past 2 years... from expos to encouragement, advice, and helping me grow my small business into what it is today has meant more than you'll ever know.

Grateful. Humbled. Proud.
And so excited for all the love stories still to come ❤️❤️❤️
