Saturday just gone, polar opposites who have settled on "flying by the seat of your pants" to make your relationship work, married! I love listening to couples stories and creating a safe space when we first meet to ensure they can be themselves! I respect that there are times when some couples need extra support, firstly to be able to stand in front of their guests for a short while and then "say words!" Of course, they are often males who experience stage fright! Please be

See that silly look on my face? It's the look a celebrant gets when that moment arrives in a ceremony when two special people slip the last ring on! "Thanks Lucy Kinbacher Photography!" The instructions from the couple from the outset were... "it has to be funny!" I will let you in on a secret, "it wasn't that hard to create a fun and funny ceremony for them, because the groom excelled in the art of dry humour!" Perhaps I too share that gift a little, but he was by far, drier

2020 for me has been a year of learning to live with the uncomfortable! My first wedding for 2020 was in the glorious Bunya Mountains! It included a guest that I had to keep one eye on, but decided it would be best to work around and leave the sleeping carpet snake alone! COVID-19 planted itself right in the middle of our lives and plans, and in so many ways created for us 'students-of-life", some life-long lessons to participate in and experiment with; proving once again th

Back before they were old enough to know much more than 1 + 1, Meagan and Kieran stood together in their primary school band photo! At the end of their schooling they followed each other to Brisbane and "yes", ended up living one street apart for quite some time before their first memorable introduction at the Royal Exchange Hotel in Toowong! Kieran and Meagan openly shared their stories about their dedication to helping each other achieve their best and how much they valued

I am a "country boy" by birth, and heart! Steph and Sam's opening line in their very helpful instructions to find their wedding venue was - "don't enter this road number into Google, it won't take you where you need to go!" I really enjoy sharing in a couple's special day when they choose to celebrate on country, their home soil and the place that has made the greatest contribution to who they are as individuals and a couple! I patted myself on the back after experiencing onl

If all the words needed to express pride and support between generations could be packaged, I was honoured to witness it in one single gesture at Cody and Jade's recent wedding! I could not help but notice where the hand of Cody's family member rested throughout the group photo session at Dusty Hill Vineyard ... yes, firmly on his shoulder! In 2014 Cody walked Jade's polocrosse horse for the first....and legend has it, "that was the last time!" We celebrated their decision to

The diversity of experiences celebrants enjoy is summed up in this moment caught on camera! Little miss, and her brother were so pleased Mum and Dad chose the top of the Bunya Mountains to exchange their vows! Why? There is just so much to discover when your all dressed up, while adults attend to what they came to the mountain to do! Andrew the photographer, James the videographer and I witnessed the most thoughtful of vows exchanged between Ryan and Madellyn at JS Fisher Loo
