Oh man. Can I get some commotion for the stunning Kara and Adrian.

I was a bit devastated filing this wedding paperwork away after the day because I have just loved the last year or so of popping around to their place to ‘work’ and hanging out with their gorgeous doggy Fred and just being generally obsessed with them all.

This was one of those super cool days too, where K&A found me because I got to marry Adrian’s cousin to his lovely love the year previous and then when I was at the wedding it turned out I knew so many people.

(Law students stick together I guess?! Hehe )

And as I was packing up my speaker I looked out into the crowd and saw Rachel and Declan- my very next wedding. So fun and exciting!

Plus, who can resist a State Library Wedding?! So fabulous!

The most beautiful weekend of weddings filled with beautiful people.

I got really emotional today, I don’t have the words to express what it’s like to be part of such incredible moments of joy and togetherness.

But the word I used with the wonderful couple today was ‘real’. Celebrating something so real and authentic, so truly happy just fills my cup to the brim.

Marrying my lovely friends Chloe and Dave 🥰🥰. What a special, emotional day this was getting to marry one of my husband’s favourite colleagues from over the years and his bubbly and beautiful bride! These two are sooooo nice. Like, the kind of people who get compliments everywhere they go and they can’t work out why but it’s really because they have this infectious, joyous aura of kindness and considerations that floats around them like happy clouds. We all cried during this ceremony (especially when Nana brought the rings forwards) my husband and I included and we felt so lucky to be there.

Francesco and Eleanor, like the most famous lovers in history met in Verona.

The wedding was just like Romeo and Juliet but it was at , about 1,000 times more chill, a lot more vegan and without the sad ending and fighting etc…

Oh wait, I guess it’s actually nothing like Romeo & Juliet.

Thank goodness. Because Francesco and Eleanor are so completely themselves. So cool, so fun, and with the most beautiful family.

I loved that Francesco and Eleanor each wrote and read their vows in their madrelingua.
I was really so honoured to be part of this special moment, a day for family and friends to come together, celebrate love and eat some damn fine vegan food!

What can I say about Rikki and KB?! We have quite a few mutual friends so I knew I was going to love these guys right from the off but wow.

Rikki and KB are so sweet to each other, so romantic and loving and together with their children they are the tightest knit and most devoted family. In fact, I think they might be my parenting goals.

This was such a fun and joyous day filled with family and friends, but it was more than that too. Rikki and KB’s families have had it tough lately, and the family has been joined many times due to the passing of loved ones.

Coming together to celebrate love and lightheartedness, therefore, was exactly what everyone needed. But Rikki and KB also included those loved ones throughout the ceremony. Everywhere, because they will always be family and they will always be with them. ❤️

Claire and Arty had three wedding celebrations. Their Hindu wedding, a small legal ceremony in their backyard and a gorgeous party at The Prince Deck. I don’t really have the words to express how much I love it when people get married their way. There are so many different parts of us, and different ways to express love, to lean into culture and to celebrate together and I thought how Claire and Arty did it was just wonderful!

One thing that really stood out at their love party was how many tiny baby guests they had invited! It was so nice to see the baby friendly areas set aside, pram parking and of course tiny little wedding outfits. 🥹🥹

Claire and Arty are such a joy to be around, so kind and caring and getting to spend time with their family and friends over two days was extra special for me. I love getting multiple opportunities to get to know you better - and talking to your loved ones is one of the best ways! And falling in love with their adorable cat was also a highlight.

These photos by are so beautiful!

39 degrees but honestly you wouldn’t have known it, Ash and Mitch were as cool as it gets.

These two organised the most gorgeous celebration at the beautiful Mount Mitchell Estate and Mitch and his friends put in a power of work pre ceremony to make sure there were plenty of drinks and shade and water to keep everyone cool, calm and collected.

It was lighthearted and lovely and the vibes during the post ceremony photos were absolutely immaculate!

Plus how gorgeous are they?! 😍😍😍😍

Serena and Stuart totally rock. Like, they are so cool.

They met in a theatre group (that obviously is a big tick in my books. Theatre kids unite) and have been smitten ever since playing husband and wife in their first showcase together.

But on this day, some 12 years later, they became for real husband and wife and it was SO FUN!

Their family and friends absolutely nailed the vibes and there was laughter and joy and BUBBLES.

The vows were perfection, chefs kiss, no notes and Stuart even promised to always fill up Serena’s water bottle even if they were both already in bed. And I’m putting that in writing on the internet because honestly that’s a fantastic promise and I think we all know how valuable of an offer it is.

Ugh I loved this day!

Also any time I get to see I am a happy camper. Because she is truly one of the best in business but also a sweet, kind angel human!

I feel like I have so much in common with Anne-Maree and Dino that having the first catch up with them felt like being set up on a friend-date. Like yeah sure I would love to marry you but what have you got on this Saturday?

Then I almost immediately ran into them at an AFLW game which really cemented that feeling for me.

The wedding day, of course, was absolutely wonderful in every way and even gave me my first opportunity to speak Italian in a ceremony which I have been hoping for for years!

Grazie mille amici miei! ci vediamo presto!

A magical, magical day.

Kate and Dan made this so special. And not just because they got all their friends and family out to a lovely winery on a beauuutiful sunny day.

But because they shared so much with me. They were so vulnerable and open and joyful and they really let me in. It was so easy to tell their story when they handed it down to me so lovingly.

It was like spending a day with old friends, after many many hours together chatting and learning about their adventures together.

And then they took off on an amazing multiple month honeymoon and I thoroughly enjoyed soaking up all the stories and am already loving getting to see the next steps on their journey together.

Elaine and Kyle had the coolest wedding at Inglewood Estate.

And the vibes were incredibly chill. Like soooo chill and fun which makes so much sense because these two are really funny. Like, make you laugh out loud funny.

I got to work with some of my all time faves and the gorgeous was my kind and wonderful helper for the day and the awesome staff even gave us lifts up and down the paddock on the golf buggies and as I am a child in my 30s I thought that was very excellent.

Kyle and Elaine, thank you for bringing so much fun and joy and letting me be part of all of the goodness. I can’t wait to see you at the footy soon!

Image descriptions: a collection of photos from E&K’s special day including Edgar (the goodest boy). Our main characters are looking like classically styled wedding stunners and there is so much joy captured within them. We see puppy cuddles, couple cuddles, the three of us having a giggle, a fun petal exit and a portrait in very pretty light.

Wedchella because it’s the wedding industry or because it was on a Wednesday?

Some things you may not know about me to go along with this post:

1. I play mixed basketball twice a week… one of those days being Wednesdays
2. For someone who does public speaking for a job I’m pretty shy in a crowd when I don’t have a job to do (lucky there were so many kind souls to look out for me. Mardy always takes care of me!)
3. I love to sew and craft. I made, altered or crafted everything I wore here!

Look at my gorgeous friends Mardy & Liam! Eiiip!

Mardy and I met through weddings. We just suddenly had a heap of weddings together and she was just too easy to adore right away! And then she introduced me to her partner Liam who is a perfect angel and the ideal board game partner for my board game loving partner and now they are stuck with us forever.

Mardy and Liam are such incredibly kind, generous, thoughtful people and it was an incredible honour to be with them in this special moment.

(And Ben was their XL Wedding Bestie for the day too. We left feeling so happy and helpy it was truely wonderful).

The ceremony was super honest and fresh and fun - just like them!

took these stunning photos!

Image descriptions: Mardy and Liam’a photos show them looking so beautiful, natural and comfortable. There is this serene calm about the shots and the palate feels like sage, white and brown with beautiful pops of colour in the flowers.

I just adore the Harwood family. My friend Mardi is the middle child, and her sisters Liza and Romy and all three of their partners at just perfection honestly. I’ve never wanted to be related to anyone more in my life.

So when Romy asked in if I (with help from Liza who herself will become an amazing celebrant very soon) could get her married to super fun guy, Kyle, I was over the moon.

I got to meet the parents, the in-laws, the cousins, the friends etc, I got to stay in the family home before the wedding day, the family beauty queen even did my make up for the ceremony! 🥰🥰

It was so beautiful to see this remarkable day from so many angles. I can’t really express just how kind these gorgeous humans were to me!

And the connection that we all came together to celebrate is a very special one. I mean, who doesn’t love a friends to lovers storyline?!

Gorgeous. Perfect. Stunning. No notes!

Friend of the family, Ebony, shot these lovely photos!

Jenny and Campbell are close friends with the wonderful and when she couldn’t head back home to join them in marriage I was charged with the task. Wow. What an honour.

Jenny and Campbell are just lovely humans but also really really funny, which I guess makes sense when you are besties with such a talented comedian!

I loved the fun stories they shared with me that enabled us to write a really joyful and fresh ceremony that absolutely could not have been anyone else’s!

The vows. I can’t describe how good they were. Hang them in the Louvre.

I know there will be many many years of adventures and cold hands to come for these two.

Thank you so much for letting me be there, you absolute legends.
