Claire & Andy

HOLY SHITBALLS

So……… Claire & Andy’s wedding.
I had been waiting for this one for A LONG time and had very high expectations.
I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.
I have so many words racing around in my head, that I simply can’t get them all out - at least not in any coherent way.
So I will waffle in bullet point.
- they are THE cutest couple - I literally just had to click the button on the camera
- they have some of the biggest legends in their lives - not least of all their wedding party
- they picked some of the THE best vendors - some of whom are new to me, but I will be championing the shit out of them
- THE VENUE.. needs a post all of it’s own - of which I will most certainly be doing at some point. My brain is STILL exploding from how amazing it is.. and not just the bricks and mortar - but you can tell that Mark and Sandi are the very essence of the venue and their heart and souls are embedded deeply in the building (by the way, I’m moving in - that’s alright, right???)
- Andy & Claire most definitely delivered on their promise of all the dance floor gold.
I could go on, but I’ve already burnt the potatoes once today, so I shall let the images do the talking…
PS I will be spamming the shit out of this wedding #NOTEVENSORRY

JAC & MATT

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

I was so bloody excited to shoot this Elopement/Micro Wedding.
It was my first wedding back since March - thanks to that 2020 C-word - and it was such a cracker to get things rolling with.
A little ceremony not far from my hood - down at Sandringham Beach - with their nearest and dearest close by. Jac and Matt were definitely 'on point' and looked absolutely flipping amazing.
We'd had a lot of banter over the months - trying to work out the best time to postpone their original plans to and to what it was going to look like. I feel like this day just helped to solidify our already blossoming friendship.
And to top it all off, my brother brought down his 85 year old @lambrettaaustralia - its Italian heritage well and truly appreciated by this über cool couple.

Kate & Gaby

Oh. My. Goodness.

This is the Elopement of Kate & Gaby.

There were alpacas courtesy of my Uncle & Aunts farm (which is where we all were) , a bonfire ceremony, incredible lighting, Dark Mofo vibes, beautiful florals, delectable delights for consuming, a kick-arse cake, 2 gorgeous brides donning incredible gowns and a group of vendors who certainly know how to deliver the goods.

This is the third ‘elopement giveaway’ I’ve been involved in, and none of them would have been possible without some truly amazingly talented and generous people in the wedding industry. And what is just as important is finding a couple who are willing to let us get our ‘creative on’ and embrace the opportunity before them.

This is exactly what Kate and Gaby did.
Their application was the first to land in our inbox and although we had many other amazing applications come in, it was hard to move past their glorious story and clear passion for life and each other.
And what came across on paper, was even more apparent in real life.
Two of the most gorgeous mind, body and souls I ever did meet.
And I feel like we (the vendors) all came away with 2 new besties.

I have so much love for this day and ALL these people, it’s been very difficult to find ‘big enough’ words to portray that love.
This day, and these people have moved me to the core.

PS - special shout out to John & Sue (my Uncle and Aunt) who allowed their Alpaca Farm to be inundated with a bunch of crazy, sometimes slightly hyperactive, walkie-talkie wheeling creatives. You were the perfect amount ‘there’ and I’m so chuffed that you were able to be Kate & Gaby’s witnesses!!
