🤍 I’ll be taking some leave over the next few weeks to share some school holiday fun in the sun with the fam, but will be checking in for a couple of gorgeous weddings to celebrate some beautiful couples!

I’ll still be online, but will be a bit slower to respond, and in the meantime, I’m leaving this beautiful 5 star Google review from Ben + Kathi here, until I check in again!!

🤍Happy first anniversary Amanda + Sam! 🥂

I hope you’re still planning together, working together, critiquing trashy TV together, and laughing at all the dumbest things together.

Wishing you a lifetime of more of the same x

Every meeting and interaction was one filled with the biggest smiles, the loudest laughter and a clear adoration of each other.

🤍Smiles for days!!

I love that when I arrive at a wedding and check in with my gorgeous couple pre-ceremony, their smiles are usually smaller, more nervous ones, and then you see the giggles throughout the ceremony, and then bam, you see this at the end!!

The absolute joy, the emotionally charged ride, and the relief of finally being able to breathe after making it to this moment, is what it’s all about!

Time. To. Party. 🎉🍾🪩🥂

🤍 Did you know that all registered marriage celebrants in Australia are required by law to complete professional development activities every year?

I completed my 2024 obligations today and the main topic covered was CONSENT.

While I have been fortunate to never have doubted the consent of any of my couples, I understand the importance of determining that all parties to marriage are fully consensual and are validly married under Australian Law.

With recent changes to legislation, celebrants are now required to take extra steps to ensure each party to marriage truly understands the nature + effect of their marriage ceremony, and have satisfied the requirements of real consent, independent of each other.

Some of my most recently married couples have already experienced additional ‘mini-meets’ with me on the day of the wedding as a result, which hasn’t really changed things, as I usually check in with all my couples separately before the I do’s take place anyway! 😍

Oh and just in case you were wondering, Loren + Jason were clearly totally consensual before they shared this super gorgeous moment at @carouselalbertpark last month!
