Lynnie + Kelvin
The first time I chatted to Lynnie on the phone I knew this wedding was going to be effervescent! Lynnie brings the energy and Kelvin the calm to this gorgeous twosome, embarking on a new chapter as the Toslands. The heavens opened and blessed us all with sideways rain but that did nothing to dampen the spirits of these two lovebirds. Thank goodness for the Devon Hotel’s spaces to accommodate – the ceremony went perfectly, led by Donna’s gorgeous service and Tim’s soothing vocals. See below for a sneak peek xx

Morgan & Alex
SURPRISE!!! Morgan and Alex got married!!
Played out as an engagement party, initial guests were treated to an intimate and emotionally charged ceremony in the Brewer’s pretty backyard. Topped off as a party with extra friends and family after, it was perfectly them – low key, relaxed and surrounded with love. Thanks for having me along to capture the beginning of this new chapter, so much fun! xx

Brooke + Ben
Fireworks, a fire pit, BBQs, swims and laughter set the scene for an epic wedding weekend for Brooke & Ben. In a place close to their hearts – the Furze’s chose the surrounds of their family batch in Kuratau to base their day, with a family and friends feast the night before.
The expected rain kept it’s distance for the main event… a first look at the river mouth, the ceremony at the gorgeous Oreti Village in Pukawa, and creative shots around the bay. Little Charlotte was an absolute angel and later the D Floor got a drilling from Troy’s band. A perfect day for an absolutely awesome two-some xx

Emma + Jason
Wholly – if I could bottle these two and sell off their energy I’d be one rich lady…! So much fun – hard to know where to start!
After a week or two sundancing prior, it all paid off with perfect cloud cover and a little breeze. A first look on The Bungalow’s panoramic lawn, Melbournite’s Emma and Jason opted for photos first around the gardens and onto the beach… Then to the main event – bum bag boogies from the groomsmen set the standard for the ceremony – loads of laughs, heartfelt words and a tear or ten. The tumbling champagne tower worked a treat, the lawn games and cricket were a welcome hazard, a nod to crate day & KFC, and a later bridal team bubble spray added to the good times. Thanks for the laughter and magical day. xx

Jaimee & Hayden
Palm trees, whale tails, surf, sand between your toes & ice cream …..
Jaimee & Hayden’s gorgeous day was blessed with sunshine, a sprinkle of rain, great company and a pod of whales waving as they passed during the vows. Such a dream wedding!! After a private first look we adventured about the island and embraced incredible locations. Once back – the barefoot ceremony was made super special with Emmie and Maggie doing their best to sprinkle petals, along with their cousins doing a great job too! Then party games, a super sized lollie table and cocktails…. bliss….
