24.01.2022 **LOOK OF LOVE** In this crazy time of Covid, please make sure you make time for your relationship. We can't go on fancy date nights at our favourite restaurant or treat ourselves to a mini-break weekend away... but we can set aside the time to spend together and to put a little effort into making it something special. So light the candles, order the takeaway, turn off the phones for a few hours, and just be together. . . . In the spirit of being genuine and walking the walk, I'm adding date night to my hubby's calendar for Saturday night!
23.01.2022 **WHO IS SOPHIE?** Sophie is now a mother of two! Welcome to the world little one! . . . Maternity leave looks a little different when you are running your own business during the year of Covid! I’m taking the month off from weddings, and will be quieter on the socials. But I am still available via email and phone.
21.01.2022 **CELEBRANT IN ACTION** Readings are a beautiful way to include others in your ceremony. These readings can range from very traditional to extremely personal, from serious to hilarious, and everything in between. And part of my job is making sure that everyone involved in the ceremony, including the readers, feel supported and comfortable during the ceremony. . . . (Thank you Rosie for capturing this special moment. This is me handing the microphone over to my fath...er-in-law, so that he can deliver the same reading that he read at my wedding 4 years prior). . . .

21.01.2022 **QUOTE OF THE DAY** This little person has captured my heart. There is so much love in this house right now. Thank you everyone for your kind words.
20.01.2022 **HUGS AND KISSES** "I am honoured to declare you married!" Then you get to seal the deal with a kiss. . . Photographer: @brightlightweddings Venue: Inland Botanic Gardens
18.01.2022 **WHO IS SOPHIE?** Sophie is a proud daughter who loves her mother! This is mum and I backpacking at Wilson’s Prom 5 years ago (before I was a mother myself!). Happy Mother’s Day, Mum! Your grandkids and I can’t wait until the planes are working again.
18.01.2022 **QUOTE OF THE DAY** I love how this quote captures how dynamic love and marriage are. Marriages go through different stages and phases, just life people.
14.01.2022 **WHO IS SOPHIE?** This image really spoke to me today. I am a fairly positive and optimistic person most of the time, but I am also a genuine person. I choose not to hide behind the screen pretending that everything is okay. When I heard about Victoria's new covid cases and death toll this morning, my heart sunk. In fact, my whole body sank like the person pictured here. Each and every one of us is being effected by Covid-19, and just because someone is doing it tougher than you right now, does not mean that your feelings are not valid. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to one another. . . . Image created by Dzana Serdarevic. Submitted for United Nations Global Call Out To Creatives - help stop the spread of COVID-19. @unitednations
14.01.2022 **YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY** These two were so much fun. Instead of a traditional ring exchange, they opted for a special handshake! Every element of this wedding reflected them and their vibe - they loved it, their guests loved it, and I loved it! . . . Photographer: @rachelmayau... Venue: @farmviganorestaurant See more
14.01.2022 **NURTURE LOVE** It is so easy to get caught up in the every day business of life. And under these covid restrictions, I know a lot of people have mentioned going in to "survival mode" where they are just trying to put one foot in front of the other. I am also hearing people talking about how both people working from home has really put a strain on their relationship. But rather than watching things deteriorate, how about prioritising your relationship? How about finding t...ime to enrich your connection with your partner? How about finding time to nurture your love? . . . I am a certified Prepare-Enrich facilitator, offering a fully online service. There is a questionnaire that you and your partner complete privately, and then we will schedule some zoom catch ups to go through your strengths as a couple and areas that could be improved. And I won't leave you hanging there! We then actively strengthen those areas, so that you and your partner are ready to face the inevitable challenges of life. More information available on my website (see bio). Please send me a DM or email saying hello... let's get this important conversation started. See more
13.01.2022 **REPOST: WEDDING INSPO** So, right now I can't marry my loved up couples in Melbourne. And when weddings are reintroduced, I'm sure number of people present will be limited But please, let's not forget that animals are not counted in the number of people permitted at your wedding... even if you consider them your fur babies. . . .

12.01.2022 **HAPPY ANNIVERSARY** It's hard to believe that it was only a year ago that these two tied the knot! It feels like so much has changed in the world in those 12 months, but I am so happy that the two of you have been able to go through this chaos with each other by your side. . . .

11.01.2022 **LOOK OF LOVE** These two have a few quiet moments between a heartfelt family ceremony and fun-filled reception. All at the Werribee Open Range Zoo! . . . Photographer: @valsite.imprints ... Venue: @weribeezooooooooo See more
11.01.2022 **YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY** Why not finish off your wedding with a shot of chocolate vodka with a couple of your guests who have been selected at random!?!? . . . Photographer: @rachelmayau... Venue: @farmviganorestaurant See more
09.01.2022 **HUGS AND KISSES** In a time of social distancing for Covid-19, a big group hug is something we can only dream of. But let's all take a moment to remember what a big warm hug feels like. Here is a photo from my own wedding, where my husband is being embraced by his nearest and dearest. . . . Photographer: @turnerstudiowp... Venue: @marybrookemanor See more
07.01.2022 Come say hello!
06.01.2022 **QUOTE OF THE DAY** Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all. Deborah Day . . . There is no denying that it’s a tough time in Victoria at the moment. Please take care of yourselves and take care of each other. Let’s spread positive energy, not Covid.
05.01.2022 **YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY** The current pandemic has seen many, many couples postponing their weddings. Unfortunately, some couples have had to postpone multiple times! One of my current couples has decided to get married at a small intimate ceremony in a few months, and then celebrate with family and friends at a large reception in the more distant future.
05.01.2022 **WHO IS SOPHIE?** Well at the moment, Sophie is a pregnant mama! We are so excited to be welcoming our second child in the upcoming weeks. This photo was around 33/34 weeks, and I'm now 38 weeks! Keep an eye out for the birth announcement.... . . . In case anyone is wondering about "maternity leave"... Covid has kindly cleared the schedule for actual weddings! I will be taking a step back from socials once bub arrives, but as always, can be contacted via email.
03.01.2022 **LOOK OF LOVE** There was just so much love in the air on Saturday. This guy did not stop smiling from the moment he arrived, and it's a very contagious smile! I spoke to a few of the guests pre-wedding, and everyone commented on what an incredible match they are. She's the super organised planner, and he's the jokester; and the way they balance each other out is perfection. . . . Photographer: friend of the couple...
