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!!
