24.01.2022 This morning I hit the road bright and early to officiate a special remembrance service on the Gold Coast. At the end of a peaceful pier in the morning sun, I shared words with a small group of people who had united in support for a beautiful young couple, Ariane and Damien, who are grieving the loss of their daughter Bella. She was born prematurely at 21 weeks and lived for 13 precious minutes. Bella was too fragile to survive, but for these first time parents-to-be, marking... and celebrating her life meant everything and more. Infant loss is a very personal journey - its not black and white, theres no right or wrong way to cope with it. But I do know that having a chance to acknowledge their grief, their love and their gratitude meant the world. We heard a poem written by Bellas mum, Ariane. We recited inspiring words about life after infant loss, from author Rebecca Sparrow. There were songs played and balloons released into the sky too. Fly high little Bella, you will always be so loved and so missed See more

20.01.2022 15.02.20 | Rhys + Samantha Mother Nature may have tested us that day, but she shone in all her glory, nestled away here in the forest. I just loved marrying these two, their ceremony was so much fun. A mini festival at Kinglake, with all their best friends! They said I do 10 years to the day since becoming a couple.... Heres a small piece of their love story, through the brides eyes... You were my first ever boyfriend. I loved your big brown eyes, your emo hair, and your ability to tell the best stories. I still remember the first time you told me you loved me. You said it super quickly, as you tackle-hugged me into a wall. You have made the last 10 years of my life so much fun, so fulfilling and adventurous. Congratulations

19.01.2022 22.10.16 This is where Julia and Michael committed to spending the rest of their lives together. Beneath cascading light forms inside the Scienceworks Engine Room. I'm often asked to recommend unique wedding venues in Melbourne and this is one of my favourites. It's nestled within the old pumping station, which has a grand ceiling, industrial relics and true heritage ambience. ... This is a perfect indoor location if you don't trust Melbourne's weather to behave! Learn more here: http://bit.ly/HC_Scienceworks

18.01.2022 New Zealand is a land of volcanoes. They have shaped the landscape and even coloured beaches black, with minerals and iron oxide. If there was ever a perfect spot for a bride in white to shine, it is here, on beautiful Bethells Beach. Stephanie and John looked a billion bucks that day and we had such an amazing time. That cathedral veil is having plenty of fun dancing in the breeze too - oh the drama! S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G.

17.01.2022 This wedding film from the very clever creatives at The Studio Door made my heart smile A beautiful keepsake from Tom and Steffi's unforgettable day in March. Can we do it all again? Pretty please...?... #loveduplowreys Take a peek http://bit.ly/HC_TomSteffiFilm

15.01.2022 ON THE BLOG I just want to get married on that cliff side. To walk down the aisle towards that view and JP. Thats all I want. Words spoken by a bride, during torrential downpour, less than an hour before her wedding ceremony in beautiful New Zealand. ... This is a little story about the magic of Mother Nature. I hope it makes you smile. Read on http://bit.ly/HC_KarmicSunshine

15.01.2022 23.03.19 | Stephanie + Thomas Theyre busy teaching the nation about social distancing on telly today, but lets take a moment to appreciate this rather lovely, calm moment on their wedding day. Happy first anniversary and thank you for bringing so much light and love to the universe

14.01.2022 28.03.15 This time four years ago I was busy marrying Yvette and Steve at BAIE Wines, a stunning location on the Bellarine Peninsula. This vineyard has the most spectacular ocean views and all the rustic country trimmings one could ever dream of ... even a vintage tractor! ... Married life has been full of highs for this pair. They're now proud parents to two absolutely adorable ginger kids I hope you're enjoying a cheeky toast tonight - happy anniversary! Hales x

13.01.2022 28.09.19 Gianna and Frank gathered their nearest and dearest, and exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony ... tucked away upstairs at Mammavittorias in Fitzroy

12.01.2022 18.03.18 | Jason + Adrian Ill never forget this love party - nestled away in a snug bluestone chapel on the outskirts of Daylesford. This was my first ceremony with a same sex couple following the landmark change to Australias Marriage Act on 9 December 2017. ... These dapper grooms had already been married for 18 years to the day (with a legal wedding later sealed on Canadian turf) and had fought tirelessly, yet ever so gently, for equal love at home. Jason and Adrian, I adore you, and Im sending you so much love on your anniversary. If youre home avoiding the COVID-19 panic, today is a perfect opportunity to watch your wedding film all over again ... I will be! Take a look, tis divine https://youtu.be/ezjN0LjbdXs

12.01.2022 Question time! What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day? A heart-stopping memory that still feels surreal when it springs to mind? I love seeing these in motion as a celebrant. Sometimes its tiny surprises. Unexpected weather events. Tears or emotions that are more raw than people ever expect. Sometimes, its that very moment when lovers lock eyes from opposite ends of the aisle ... Share your shiny happy moment below. Cos the world needs more of them! Hales x

11.01.2022 Guess whats better than being asked to marry a couple...? Being invited to join the party afterwards too! This family snap was taken in the vineyards after Tom and Steffis ceremony on 23.03.19 at Stockman's Ridge in Orange. Little Frank is looking super handsome in his bow tie, dont you think?! More to come from that perfect day on the blog, stay tuned... #loveduplowreys

Here is a tiny extract from their ceremony:... In your eyes, I have found my home. In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my mate. With you, I am whole, full, alive. You make me laugh. You let me cry. You are my breath, my every heartbeat. I am yours. You are mine. Of this we are certain. C.O.N.G.R.A.T.U.L.A.T.I.O.N.S All my love x

10.01.2022 28.03.15 | Yvette + Steve Happy fifth wedding anniversary to these beautiful souls - what an incredible milestone

09.01.2022 Australia is burning and my heart is so broken Our skies are filled with toxic smoke. Our conversations heavied by sadness and rage. Communities are in a state of trauma. Our flora and fauna, terrorised. Through all of this, I remain in awe of our courageous firefighters and the people battling to survive on the frontline. Heartening too, is the movement of people and entire industries to band together to lead practical, grassroots initiatives to rebuild lives. ... I am but one small business owner, but I have donated to first response charities and will be buying everything I possibly can from local businesses in bushfire affected areas for the next ... well, ever. #SpendWithThem My job is to bring love to peoples lives. So I stand with you, Australia. With love and compassion, for the long haul. Hales x

07.01.2022 One thing I love about being a celebrant is the family adventures we get to embrace en route to beautiful wedding locations! Today were heading to Stockman's Ridge in New South Wales Central West district to marry two of my very dear journo friends - #LovedUpLowreys We decided to hit the road last night and stay somewhere a little different on the way, a #glamping adventure at Winton Wetlands, which came with a complimentary thunder storm! Scroll down for a light show... Luckily we were warm as toast in a giant bed inside On the road nice and early this morning and cant wait for the weekend festivities to begin! But first, coffee.

04.01.2022 So many people and industries are hurting right now because of you, #covid_19.

So reach out if youre feeling a little bit lost with it all - together, weve got this

03.01.2022 12.10.19 Claire and Cam put the BIGGEST smile on my face. Why? Not sure if it was the sunshine, that arrived at just the right time;... Their adorable son Noah, who chatted proudly during the ceremony; The bride, who was a picture of elegance and class; Or perhaps just their palpable excitement! Mr and Mrs Dixon, it was such a pleasure to help with the I dos ... I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

02.01.2022 Right before I marry a couple is a calm and special time. I rehearse and triple check all the details - then stop to take it all in, bit by bit. Weddings are often hosted in places of natural beauty and significance, and this is one of my favourite spots at Baie Wines. Just like a movie set, pretty as a rose, waiting for the crowd to arrive

02.01.2022 Im meeting with new clients and writing ceremonies today ... from this very romantic office in #Sorrento! This is my current view from the villa. A perfect spot to write about love, dont you think?
