🧡 Abbey & Liam 🧡

Every now and then, a wedding comes along that stays with you forever.

Back in February, I had the privilege of marrying Abbey & Liam at beautiful Waldara Farm, just outside Oberon. From the moment I met them, they made me feel less like their celebrant and more like part of the family.

I was also lucky enough to MC the reception, which meant I got to be part of all the fun, laughter and celebrations that followed.

Abbey & Liam, thank you for making me feel so welcome and for trusting me with such a special part of your day. This is one wedding I’ll always remember fondly. ❤️

Some weddings just leave a smile on your face long after the day is over… and Don & Nadia’s was definitely one of them. ❤️

A few weeks ago, surrounded by family, friends, and the beautiful backdrop of the Australian Botanic Gardens at Mount Annan, I had the privilege of marrying this gorgeous couple.

There was something incredibly special about watching Don, a man who had waited his whole life for this moment, absolutely glowing with excitement as he married his beautiful bride, Nadia. Every smile, every glance, and every word spoke of the love and happiness they have found together.

It was a day filled with laughter, happy tears, proud family members, and the kind of joy that reminds us it’s never too late to find your person.

Congratulations Don & Nadia. Thank you for allowing me to share in such a wonderful chapter of your story. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventures together. 💕🥂

♥️ Shannon & Mitchell ♥️

Nine years ago, this legend couple trusted me to marry them… and honestly, it was a moment 😌
Biggest crowd I’d ever stood in front of, a bridal party that kept me on my toes, and families that made the whole day feel like one big hug.
It was also the start of some pretty special vendor friendships that I still hold onto today.
Funny how one wedding can turn into so much more 🤍

Celebrating a decade of ceremonies!!

Ten years ago today, I stood in front of my very first couple… equal parts excited, nervous, and hoping I didn’t forget anything important (like the legal bits 😅).

A decade on, and I still feel incredibly lucky to be able to do what I do.

To every couple who has trusted me with such a big moment in your lives….. thank you. It’s never lost on me what a privilege that is.

To the mentors who guided me in those early days (and still do), thank you for your wisdom, your honesty, and your support.

And to the incredible vendors I’ve met along the way……. what a joy it’s been to work alongside you and call so many of you friends.

Ten years in, and still loving every minute 🤍

I love looking back at the special weddings… where you know the couple and many of the guests. My and T-Jay tied the knot 8 years ago today. Happy anniversary guys!

Nic & Tayla 🤍

A day that felt extra close to my heart—I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a few special moments for this beautiful family over the years, so it was pretty special to be there again.

Nic & Tayla, just gorgeous together. Calm, connected, and so clearly meant to be.

Belinda + Lachlan 💍🌿
From the moment I met these two sweethearts at the Love A Fair expo, I knew they were something special. So down-to-earth, so connected, and just so in love.

Family means everything to them, and I felt so welcomed by theirs—it honestly felt like I’d known them for years.

They tied the knot (and kicked off the celebrations!) at the breathtaking in Alpine… and yes, it was every bit as dreamy as it sounds. ✨

B + L, you two were a joy from start to finish. Thanks for having me along for the ride 💛

Liam & Tayler 💍
A beautiful April afternoon at Long Reef Golf Club set the scene for Liam and Tayler to say “I do.”
With the ocean behind them and their favourite people all around, it was good vibes, great views, and two very happy humans.
