Steven and Abbey's Barn On The Ridge Wedding

Steven and Abbey poured their hearts into planning their Milton wedding, ensuring every detail was personalised and meaningful. They chose St Mary’s Star of the Sea for their Catholic ceremony which was officiated by Father Michael. They had a bright colour palette which was incorporated into the florals and decor throughout the day. Their wedding was filled with love and everyone including their friends and family helped in making the occasion a memorable one.

With its sweeping views of Pigeon House Mountain and the Budawang Ranges, The Barn On The Ridge was the perfect place for the couple to host their reception. The tables were adorned with vibrant florals and candles which added to the overall ambiance of the rustic venue. They spent the evening toasting the good times, sharing a meal with their loved ones and hitting the dance floor.

I give this gorgeous wedding 5 stars. Congratulations newlyweds, what a day!

Jethro and Caitlan's Woods Farm Wedding

Jethro and Caity tied the knot in Jervis Bay on the 22nd of June 2023 surrounded by friends and family. They spent the morning in the country cottages at The Woods Farm before making their way to the bush chapel for an afternoon ceremony which was officiated by Todd Mayhew. Once married they signed on the dotted line, sealed the deal with a kiss, and made their way down the aisle covered in confetti as husband and wife, as well as mum and dad.

Jethro and Caity were captivated by the quirkiness of the Woods Farm, which is why our team made sure that the portraits reflect the fun nature of the newlyweds.

The reception featured everlasting florals, modern stationery, and glimmering chandeliers. The addition of candles to the tablescape added to the ambiance of the evening. The night was spent back in the wedding barn where the couple shared their first meal as husband and wife, danced the night away, and heard heartfelt speeches from their loved ones. They created an unforgettable moment for their guests when they cut their cake with a sword.

Congratulations Jethro and Caity!

With Anthony and Leah’s decision to have a Southern Highlands autumn wedding, their focus was on incorporating the warm, rich, earthy and vibrant colours into their day. They took inspiration from the landscape and used this throughout the styling and florals.

The ceremony was held in the Pavilion which was full of romantic ambiance created by the beautiful decor and crystal chandeliers. Behind the couple guests had captivating views through the expansive windows overlooking the rolling hills.

The Barn played host to the couples sit down reception which was rich in character and rustic sophistication. They enjoyed toasts from their loved ones, the first meal as husband and wife and they finished the night surrounded by their bridal party on the dance floor.

Sean and Lara's Homestead Wedding

Sean and Lara set out to have a beautiful country wedding and that’s exactly what they did. While engaged, they stumbled across their dream wedding venue, The Homestead and they knew it was the perfect fit for them to tie the knot.

They started the morning in seperate cottages where they each got ready for the first look. Sean was waiting on the jetty with his back facing his soon to be bride as Lara made her way toward him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he turned around to see her for the first time. In this moment you could feel the love, which really set the tone for the whole day. By having a first look early in the day, the couple was able to calm each others nerves, greet their families and have some portraits before heading off to the ceremony.

They tied the knot outside the silo in a garden ceremony which was officiated by Alisha Perkins who added a light hearted warmth to the celebration. Once married they set off for some more photos before making their way back to the Cow Shed for the reception. They enjoyed a night of speeches and dancing as they celebrated becoming husband and wife.

The Hartigan Family

Today I am sharing a few of my favourite photos from my recent session with The Hartigan Family. Jonathan and Katie decided to have their photos taken locally and they wanted a country setting with tall trees and open paddocks so we met up in West Nowra for some morning portraits. It was nice to catch up and see how Jude has grown since our last booking. Here are some of the highlights from our Sunday morning.

You can tell she is one very lucky girl to have two parents who love her so much!

Jarrod and Dayna's Wedding

We’re obsessed with the colourful and fun vibe of Jarrod and Dayna’s vibrant Jervis Bay wedding! The couple hired the exclusive use of The Cove, a waterfront resort that allowed them to have friends glamp and stay in cabins for a multi-day celebration. Dayna was a no-stress bride who completely trusted her team of vendors to bring her vision to life. The result - a beautiful coastal wedding with pops of bright colour.

The morning started with Jarrod and Dayna getting ready with the bridal party. Dayna surprised her bridesmaids with a first look which made for an unforgettable moment. The couple tied the knot overlooking the beach in an afternoon ceremony. Once married, they set off into the national park surrounding the venue for portraits as the sun began to set. They entered the reception through sparkler tunnel formed by their guests. Throughout the reception, there were heartfelt speeches, delicious food and drinks, a hilarious shoe game and a jam backed dance floor.

We had so much fun capturing this gorgeous celebration and we cannot wait to show you the video!
