25.01.2022 Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary to Elise and Carl If I recall correctly, I think Carl complimented Elises top half of her wedding dress which he thought was mighty impressive when she walked down the aisle They are a dream team these two and are doing an incredible job as parents to their adorable son Chase

25.01.2022 I just squeezed us in Jon (aka English Muffin ). We will let Sarah take most of the space because lets face it, she was a complete 10/10. Its always so nice to officiate a friends wedding day and it was no different for Sarah who I have known literally forever. The most funniest, down to earth couple who have the cutest little boys you cant help but adore. Hope you had the best wedding week with your loved ones who travelled near and far to celebrate your love

24.01.2022 Krystie & Adam what a treat you two were to marry This is me in awe listening to the vows they were sharing. Which by the way they nailed. James Field Photography

24.01.2022 Georgia and Nick’s relationship has certainly grown over the years Like Nick’s ability to grow hair everywhere except his head! They met at Shuztenfest, a German festival of drinking. But instead of getting Shitzenfaced Georgia’s bridesmaid Mel who was seeing Nick’s friend at the time introduced them. Somehow Nick got her number and when it came time to call he said one of his favourite sayings I’ll do it later! Luckily he eventually did because these two are a dream te...am. Georgia keeps Nick safe with unwanted Spiders and Nick supports Georgia’s strange plant fetish. They are a great team and loved meeting these two sensational people. I know you are thinking it, I really do have the best job. SvenStudios thanks for capturing this beautiful photo

24.01.2022 Check out this comp! Amazing live acoustic artists who are so very talented and really set the tone for your ceremony

23.01.2022 !!! Deal Alert !!! Okay so its no surprise that wedding bookings have dried right up in our current climate, however Im hoping to encourage people to start th...inking about their weddings and begin securing things so they do not miss out. 2021 will likely have twice the weddings of the average year. Ive been thinking about this for a little while and I will be offering my packages until the end of May with a 25% discount, this deal can be secured for a $500 deposit and you can lock in a date or just simply hold the package without a date locked in. You may take as long as you need to finalise your date, if I am available then we will proceed with normal terms and conditions (All payments will be fully refundable up until 3 months before wedding day). If I unfortunately am not available, then your deposit will be returned in full. Without a date the deposit is fully refundable and is completely unconditional. If this applies to you and you want to keep your plans on track but are concerned about what the future holds then get in touch and well have a chat. Basically, book now, confirm later with no cancelation penalties. As always, please checkout my packages at www.nickdunnimages.com

23.01.2022 IT’S SNORT YOUR ORDINARY CEREMONY Oh did we have some fun moments during Sarah and Jon’s ceremony at Adelaide Botanic Gardens. I promise I only snorted once ... B Captured by Ky Luu

23.01.2022 Nissa & Jack got married at @pennyshillwines on the weekend in front of their most favourite people. From the styling, perfect weather, beautiful venue and the smell of a wood fire burning, it all came together so elegantly. One of my favourite moments of the day was when Nissa’s twin sister looked back at her when she started walking down the aisle and blew her sister the sweetest kiss as if to say you got this and I love you. Thanks for having me as your celebrant and your story teller of your beautiful relationship that I so admire

22.01.2022 Imma just gonna leave this here. To all my couples, supplier friends, venue owners, Celebrant tribe, florists, togs, MUAs, Hair stylists, videographers, stylists, planners, DJs, musos and wedding industry family in general- sending soooo much virtual love and light right now. This sucks but we will get through this..... with a shit load of wine For any of my couples who just want to talk, brainstorm some options, vent or cry... pour a glass and give me a buzz

22.01.2022 No matter how old you both get, never stop holding hands, dancing, and saying ‘I love you’. James Field Photography

21.01.2022 KIM + CARL Married at the trendy Plant 4 Bowden on a beautiful spring afternoon with an epic crowd who were keen to celebrate these two lovers. Kims infectious smile had Carl at hello and Kim loved that she felt she had know Carl a lifetime when they first met. No awkward silences and when they both discovered their shared love for the series Grand Designs they knew they were in love Mel Boulden photography snapped this beauty and how beautiful is that flower arrangement by She Runs Wild Flowers

21.01.2022 Excited to say that I am FULLY BOOKED for 2019! I have 40 amazing couples who have locked in their day with me and I am so excited for each and every one! As a Celebrant, I do cap my numbers to ensure all my couples get the very best of me and my time to make sure their ceremony is delivered how it’s should be AMAZING . Sooo.... if you are thinking of booking for 2020, I only have limited availability. Much love, Jess

20.01.2022 David and Emily met in a not particularly exciting or romantic way at work. It certainly wasnt love at first sight, it was definitely a slow burn. Slow burn maybe.. but heating up with work lunches. Heating up playing board games. Heating up with parties and flirtatious text messages. One day David sent some specific cutesie texts. On that day Emily literally giggled out loud in public because she was happyshe was hooked and in serious trouble. Then it was a battle. A bat...tle of who could make the worst kissing faces and texts to create fun. It was on.... This is just some of their beautiful love story shared on their wedding day. How awesome are these two and how awesome is this photo captured by the talented @angelabrushephotography Would you believe after what felt like a million enquiries to work at The Manor Basket Range, I finally got to officiate a dream wedding at this stunning venue. Thanks for the ride Em and David, loved getting to know you two and our shared love of red wine

20.01.2022 To all my couples who are feeling a little nervous to postpone, hopefully this will lift your spirits

20.01.2022 Sascha and Karena celebrated their official legal marriage yesterday after 21 happy years together. Their little son Lachie stole the show with his hilarious and cute comments throughout the ceremony. It was such a pleasure to be your celebrant S & R and help you celebrate your love for each other

20.01.2022 Sarah and Laura, I didnt want to leave your love bubble today. Best friends, partners in business and in life. What an exciting future you have ahead together. Thank you for having me as your Celebrant

20.01.2022 This is the face of Jess, who if you told 6 months ago I would have 7 weekends off between October and December, I would have told you- YOU ARE CRAZY! Yeah postponements are a real thing Evan Bailey Photography @Represented

19.01.2022 Kerin Burford Photography

19.01.2022 SamMario 17.11.18 I look forward to all my couples wedding days, but I couldn’t help but feel a little extra excited for Mario and Sam as their love was finally recognised under the Australian law. It takes months, even years to plan a wedding day and boy did they pull of an amazing day with great styling. ... I just adore you both and loved helping you celebrate your love in front of your closest family and friends. Great to work with @wesbeelders_photography too. Much love, Jess

18.01.2022 Tahlia and Sean's beautiful ceremony at Veale Gardens earlier this month. Working with Sarah from Little Car Photography wasn't so bad either

18.01.2022 Tara and Simon were all class at their beautiful wedding at Lot 100 - Adelaide Hills Just look at them! I was the Celebrant for Tara’s sister (Rachel and Ben) a few years ago and it was so warming to see them again with their gorgeous 6 month old baby ... Tara and Simon are such beautiful and kind people and I wish them all the happiness life has to offer. They truly deserve it. It was my first time at Lot.100 and it was their photographer Dan Evans Photography first time too and I have to say, this venue didn’t disappoint. The architecture of the building was simply stunning and the views were breathtaking. What a day, what a dream team of suppliers and yet again another wonderful couple who trusted me to deliver their ceremony and get them hitched

18.01.2022 Sam Burnell Floral Design you insanely talented floral artist! Just look at these arrangements

18.01.2022 Selfie with the sweetest couple Lee and Tom after their ceremony at The Botanic Gardens last weekend. How lucky am I to be surrounded by happiness each week

17.01.2022 Tanya and Chris where do I even start... From our first meeting at Little Shoo where Chris was greeted with a big hug by me (he isn’t the hugging type ) to the laughs from the belly on your wedding day. You two are infectiously wonderful and I know your life together won’t be a dull one. Always laughing at each other (or should I say with each other ) and never taking life too seriously. Keep being in the moment you two and make sure you pour two drinks Chris so Tanya does...n’t steal yours all the time LOVED how Barn1890 setup the chairs for the ceremony in a semi circle. Felt so intimate and loved seeing everyone’s faces as I shared their story. Highly recommend if anyone wants their seating arrangement a little different! Verity Edgecombe Photography took this beautiful photo and Vu Phan Productions was capturing the videography. Can’t wait to see sneak peak!

17.01.2022 Covid-19 sure has changed a few wedding plans over the last few months, but when Rob from You Tell Videos contacted me to help make Leah and Mikes wedding day feel just as special, I was all ears listening to his creative concept he was offering to couples in these crazy times. Rob isnt even present on your wedding day because well... the 5 people only rule so instead, he contacts the couples family and friends on their behalf, collates messages, home videos, photos and edits all of the pieces to the puzzle and creates a beautiful professional video If this is something you might like to consider so your family and friends are still very much part of your wedding day, please contact Rob

15.01.2022 Ashleigh and Hayden shared their beautiful vows at @glenewinestate in front of their family and friends yesterday and what a perfect day they had! Beautiful couple who were a pleasure to meet

15.01.2022 If this isn’t the look of one proud Mum and a guy with a beaming smile waiting for his gal to become his wife, then I don’t know what is I’ll be sharing more of Alice and Tom’s wedding photos in the week as there are so many gorgeous photos they have shared with me. Take me back to this day Tomek Photography I am obsessed with your album!!

14.01.2022 Throw back to Laura and Jon’s wedding at the @agsa.adelaide. Loved meeting these two and their beautiful fam #jessicamaidacelebrant #adelaideweddings #weddingceremony #brideandgroom #weddingsofinstagram #moderncelebrant

14.01.2022 Getting my training hat on in just over a week and facilitating Ongoing Professional Development training to a bunch of fabulous SA Celebrants. As a registered Commonwealth Marriage Celebrant, it is a legal requirement to complete 5 hours of OPD every calendar year. I’m excited to get back into some training with the aim to deliver more OPD days in the future. ... Watch this space Image created by Life Skills Training RTO 22417

13.01.2022 No matter how old you both get, never stop holding hands, dancing, and saying I love you. James Field Photography

13.01.2022 This is the look of a Celebrant who is bloody excited to see you when you rock up to your ceremony looking beautiful! Literally have to wipe away a few happy tears when I walk back into the ceremony space and compose myself for your dream ceremony. Love my couples Thanks for sharing Chloe and thanks for capturing this moment Dan Evans Photography

13.01.2022 Sarah and Laura, I didn’t want to leave your love bubble today. Best friends, partners in business and in life. What an exciting future you have ahead together. Thank you for having me as your Celebrant

12.01.2022 2.0.1.8 Reflecting on another great year that has passed in a blink of an eye! Thank you to my AMAZING 50 couples who trusted me to deliver your ceremonies and share your journey with your family and friends. I never take this job for granted and how lucky I am to share your wedding day with you. ... To my Celebrant buddies, thanks for the chats, support and overall positive vibes I receive from you. This can be such an isolating role but luckily I never feel alone I have had a dream of wedding suppliers to work alongside with this year, who make each wedding fun and easy. My couples have great taste in suppliers so thankful for that Lastly, my not so little family (we keep expanding ) who encourage me and tell me you look beautiful mummy everytime I leave the house for a wedding . We are expecting in June next year which won’t affect any couples who have booked me in 2019 (we totally plan babies around wedding season ) Looking forward to working with all my couples in 2019 and to create all the great vibes for each and everyone’s ceremonies. Thanks 2018 for another memorable year! (Drops mic )

12.01.2022 Any of my Celebrant friends who haven’t booked their tickets yet, get on it 3 days of awesomeness you don’t want to miss

11.01.2022 I am Jess. I am a Celebrant, Friend, Mumma of 4, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Aunt and Boss Babe I love smiling, meeting new people, giving your Granny a hug when she arrives at your wedding, having a laugh and uplifting people ... Tell me I cant do something and Ill prove you wrong and make it happen I love a good Bird in Hand Winery bubbles Clearly I love talking and public gatherings (Very important key skill for a Celebrant ) but feel so awkward getting professional photos taken (weird right?) Evan Bailey Photography made the shoot so much fun and relaxed and produced the goods which I knew he would. Thanks legend I am genuinely as excited about your day as you are, so if you are looking for a Celebrant, MC or baby holder while you have family photos, slide into my DMs. Would LOVE to have a chat I am excited!

11.01.2022 This girl boss is about to embark on a 3 day virtual celebrant conference and I cannot wait to splash some learning love to my business and see whats happening around Australia in the world of Celebrancy I was meant to be at the Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast right now mingling with like minded pros in the industry, but Covid had other ideas But...... so pumped about the workshop line ups and the best part is, I can wear my PJs all day ... Not only will i get inspired by this conference and want to keep developing personally and professsonay, I also tick off my mandatory training obligations by virtually attending the conference Bring on the The Celebrant Society 2020 conference!

10.01.2022 THESE are the MOMENTS i LOVE, when a couple hear their ceremony for the first time ON their WEDDING DAY and I get these REACTIONS from them and their guests. THE BEST! Who are you booking for your wedding? A registered Celebrant who will get you legally married or a PASSIONATE Celebrant who writes a personalised ceremony with all the FEELS

10.01.2022 I don’t even know where to start with Pip and Chris... I was lucky enough to help these two get married in March after they had been together over a decade! They have actually known each other since primary school and were bound for only good things in life with each other by their side. These two are the kind of people you can’t not love and admire. Beautiful people who would do anything for anyone. Loved working alongside one of my favs Sarah from @littlecarphotography who as you can see took some great shots of their ceremony. Sarah and I may or may not have ate WAAY too much pizza during the reception

09.01.2022 For those playing at home, my little bump who was my roadie for last wedding season, made his way into the world 1 week ago! JAKE DOMINIC MAIDA I will be checking and responding to emails during my maternity leave but for now I am soaking in my gorgeous little guy. Stay warm and much love,... Jess Wish Photography by Katherine Stannard

09.01.2022 GEN + SCOTT How lucky were these two celebrating their second wedding down under! They got all the legal stuff done in Singapore so they had a beautiful celebration of love at Lambert Estate Wines on Thursday 20.02.20 (no excuses to forget that anniversary ) Its a pretty special thing to help celebrate these huge moments in peoples lives, especially when you know them. I went to Kindergarten and Primary School with the groom and its warming to see how happy he is with Gen by his side. You two make a wonderful team and thank you for trusting me to deliver your story

09.01.2022 ITS SNORT YOUR ORDINARY CEREMONY Oh did we have some fun moments during Sarah and Jons ceremony at Adelaide Botanic Gardens. I promise I only snorted once ... B Captured by Ky Luu

08.01.2022 Vanessa + Scott 22.02.20 Vanessa noticed his smile at first and then his eyes, but Scott will tell you it was his bicep curls when he found some barbells near the Stereosonic festival entrance and showed her his guns.. and roses! They tell you to be careful of what you sample at a music festival but Scott knew Vanessa was pure of heart... And yesterday, at their wedding at @longviewvineyard everyone felt the love between these two. They are the most wonderful happy couple and I was stoked to officiate their ceremony. V+S had a great team around them including Little Darling Films Andrea Laube Photography Daisy Lane Flowers Fleurieu Weddings @Little Big Words acoustic duo

08.01.2022 Well I think I’m funny Your ceremony doesn’t have to be dull, let’s have some fun during your ceremony @Tomek Photography... Ivybrook Farm See more

07.01.2022 Who else loves Peonies

06.01.2022 Krystie and Adam got married on the weekend at Sunnybrae Estate and totally rocked their vows. Krystie is the best thing to happen since sliced bread Adam says and Krystie’s reasons for loving Adam is just too long to share. They could not have asked for a more perfect day in so many ways. Worked along side some top suppliers including Vu Phan Productions, James Field Photography, The Sweet Tooth Factory, 28 Blossom Street and Flowers by Zofi

06.01.2022 TOTAL PACKAGE But what do you mean??? Yes I am a Marriage Celebrant but did you know I also MC ... I’ve set the tone for your ceremony so why not keep that vibe flowing to your reception Promise I’m not just staying on for the delicious arancini balls but rather to deliver a fun and energetic atmosphere at your reception So let’s take the stress away from your hilarious Uncle or best friend who would much rather grab a bevy and join in on the fun and ENJOY the night with you and book this bubbly and overly excited Master of Ceremonies (sounds fancy right?) for your reception. I know you want to, so drop me a DM and let’s get this party started Image captured by Represented

06.01.2022 I GOT YOU BOYS ~ phone off ~ left hand over right ~ sunnies off ... ~ looking handsome ~ smiles on GO TIME! SvenStudios

06.01.2022 Weddings as we know them are temporarily changing. It sucks for those couples who had plans to get married in the next few months who now have to postpone ..... But.... look how magical this elopement was last Friday with this loved up couple It can still be beautiful, meaningful and guess what... you will have the same outcome... YOU WILL BE LEGALLY MARRIED! Yeeewww! Or another thought get your photographer/videographer together (as your witnesses) to capture your elope...ment and have your video on a big screen at your reception at a later date! Food for thought! For my couples who have booked with me from September onwards, please be patient (although I know its so hard to do right now). Take a deep breathe and lets ride out this storm. If we are still within the current restrictions by July, lets talk about moving your wedding to another date. WE WILL MAKE THIS WORK- I got you If anyone needs any support or just wants to talk, you know where I am. ELOPEMENTS ROCK Goldlight Photography (Alexis you show off, incredible work) Visit Henley Beach

Being pregnant for 3 years of that with 4 babies and all I love people and this gig had my name all over it. So GRATEFUL Cant forget my wonderful and supportive celebrant community and the crazy amount of wedding professionals I have worked with along the way. I continue to learn, grow and appreciate my job that little bit more because of you Cheers!

02.01.2022 EMILY + SCOTT Look at these two (awww). Loved getting to know E+S. Literally had to wrap up our meeting as the cafe was closing but honestly could have chatted for hours! ... It was love at first sight when Scott met Emily at a work conference. Emily contributed to a well articulated group discussion and Scott was blown away. He tried to introduce himself in a short break but couldnt, as bubbly Emily was chatting away with a friend the whole time. Thanks to modern platforms like Facebook, they connected and bonded over memes, internet culture and the same career path. The best of friends, yin and yang, husband and wife @James Field Photography

02.01.2022 What did you do last Sunday? I was just hanging in a Secret Garden in Moonta Bay with Ellen and Arnie and some pretty awesome suppliers. You better check out Zack Rosser Media work and book him quickly before you are disappointed he is unavailable for your date. Just sayin
