The very talented Beth Clare photographer shared this gorgeous reel with me of a wedding I officiated over the weekend - it was wet, muddy but that didn’t dampen the love shared between Chris and Bec. Congratulations guys. Keeping showering each other with the love you share.

Bethany Clare Photography shared a post on Instagram: "Back stage with Bec & Chris… surprise ending ❤️ weddingphotography ...

Whilst I love officiating weddings, there is something particularly special when the couple are the daughter and now son in law of a dear friend. The weather held off for the amazing wedding of Holly and Reed. Congratulations newlyweds and may all your future decisions be determined by rock, paper, scissors

There is something really special when a ceremony is held at a location which holds such sentiment to the bride and groom. So many happy memories have been made at this beautiful family farm and now, this gorgeous location will forever be etched into the hearts of the bride and groom as where they became husband and wife. Congratulations Mr & Mrs M

The rain today didn’t dampen any celebrations for the wedding of the newlyweds Mr & Mrs F (I won’t reveal their identity until they have announced their exciting news). Both the ceremony and reception held at the gorgeous REMEL 185.

Due to COVID these two beautiful beings had to postpone and wait for their special day to arrive and it was worth the wait. The newlyweds exchanged vows and rings whilst being surrounded by the most loving family and friends. Venue photos: Nick Peters Photography

What an amazing setting for a beautiful ceremony - the Magic Forest in Stanley. And it lived up to its title - magical. Congratulations to the newlyweds ❤️❤️

This Victorian roadmap announcement will affect spring wedding plans. I encourage any couples who have booked me for their wedding during the coming months to contact me to discuss their plans. I’m thinking of you all during this challenging time ❤️❤️❤️
