25.01.2022 Ant and Nat captured what a destination wedding should: a special location, close friends & family and great food & wine culminating in a magnificent, memorable day for everyone, most of all themselves. Those on the hunt for the quintessential provincial French wedding experience, look no further than Burgundy! Simple to get to from Paris, rolling hills, beautiful villages and Pinot-a-plenty! Cant believe this was 7 weeks ago! This amazing day is forever etched in my memory!... . #frenchwedding #chateau #weddingday #thehappycouple See more

25.01.2022 TFW your oldest mate asks you to marry him (and his fianc) with a box of unique, personalised gifts A thousand times yes, brother! . . #savethedate #willyoumarryme #weddinginspo

24.01.2022 Meeting at the altar . Well not that we needed an actual altar at the beautiful Chateau de Mailly! It is always nice seeing things from a different angle. Ant and I would remember so vividly, how Nat walked up the aisle on this special day, but seeing it this way captures the moment perfectly. .

24.01.2022 2018 was an amazing year to become a Marriage Celebrant. I feel truly privileged to be able to help make these special days a little more special. There is a lot of love in the world . . #justmarried #happilyeverafter #weddingday

23.01.2022 As restrictions look like theyre going to ease up in Melbourne, it will be fantastic to get some weddings back on the go! Alen Kontra Photography and I have been really lucky to work together in the past. When it comes to capturing the day, there are some things that a professional like him just understands. I will be writing a little piece on his work in the future. We had a little chat recently about some elements that go into the perfect ceremony. Check it out! https://www.alenkontraphotography.com/interview-with-tim-b/

22.01.2022 Bit of a throwback to a magical 4 days in Burgandy to celebrate Nat + Ant's wedding. The ceremony, perched on the wall of the wonderful Chateau de Mainly is an experience that we won't forget! . . . #weddingday #melbournecelebrant #marriagecelebrant #weddinggoals

21.01.2022 Sharing the laughter up there . The Sunshine Coast lived up to its name for @elliewilliams and @nickgb1 s big day! The weather was perfect, the ceremony was light-hearted and befitting of this cracking couple. #beachwedding #marriagecelebrant #melbournecelebrant

21.01.2022 Waiting for the stragglers Could be worse locations to wait for the final few guests to arrive before getting underway. Ive never really been a Bowtie Guy until the Bowmans suggested it would be necessary to complete this insanely suave getup for their wedding in Mooloolaba. They were right... I felt dapper af. . . . #beachwedding #weddingsuits #ido #weddingday #marriage #marriagecelebrant

21.01.2022 @trentpmilvain Looking incredibly sharp waiting for @bonnie__00 to arrive. What a privilege to be part of this memorable day! . . @sherpa__

20.01.2022 Feels like yesterday! The lovely Trent and Bonnie getting hitched right up in the bush. . . . #weddingday #happycouple #brideandgroom #husbandandwife #wedding

20.01.2022 It is hard to wade through the Dos and Donts in media reports as COVID-19 restrictions ease. Some very good and clear information on the Victorian Government Website outlining the current restrictions surrounding Weddings in Vic.

18.01.2022 When his vows provoke this kind of reaction... @ellie.yoga @wardy_james #weddingday #beachwedding #mustbelove

18.01.2022 Hows the location . Theres a moment before guests arrive when the empty chairs and the setup is pulsating with anticipation. It wasnt long before there were over a hundred people filling this amazing spot to celebrate Nick and Ellies nuptials. . .... . #whataday #takemetothebeach #wedding #weddingphotography #bluesky #beautifulday See more

18.01.2022 *Update for Victorians* As of today, Weddings can be held with 5 people within the state of Victoria: The couple, the witnesses and the celebrant. Appropriate social distancing is, of course, still required. Travel outside the metropolitan area is approved for weddings however, to limit the spread, it is recommended Melbournians use their discretion in departing the metro area, only visiting locations they have to as part of their travel to the wedding....

17.01.2022 The final countdown . One of a marriage celebrants tasks is to keep everything running smoothly. We have to make sure everyone knows what is happening, when and where, to ensure none of the magic is missed! This photo was taken before the wedding as I briefed the guests on the order of procedings for the ceremony and beyond. . One of my favorite parts of the day, it is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, to give reminders about silencing phones, give directions on ...confetti/petals and to generate even more anticipation for the ceremony. . #weddingcelebrant #weddingday #weddinginspo See more

15.01.2022 Paperwork . Did you know that to get married in Australia, you need to fill one of these in with your celebrant at least 31 days in advance of your wedding day? . #officialwedding #weddingseason #australianwedding

15.01.2022 The term 'Covid Normal' is being thrown around a fair bit at the moment. But what does that look like for wedding ceremonies? Whilst we can't marry people remotely yet, guests can join in the fun from all over the world. Here is my take on how best to set up your big day so guests (both present and digital) can have a ball! https://www.timbarnescelebrant.com//five-things-to-make-yo

15.01.2022 The funniest moments are often not planned at all! . . . @the_barndawg and @rashellyshelly s wedding was full of laughs. Lighthearted and personal celebrations stay with us long after the happy couple sail off into the sunset.... #thebigday #wedding #monochrome #bushwedding #barnwedding #rustic #rusticwedding

13.01.2022 What a special day it was yesterday! . Thrilled to have been involved with Sam and Shells big day, yesterday. A magical late afternoon ceremony followed by a huge dinner before dancing the night away. Marrying your brother; illegal in most countries, but bloody fantastic! Welcome to the family, Shell! . .... . #bushwedding #happycouple #weddingday #emubottomhomestead #weddinggoals See more

12.01.2022 Practice makes imperfect Such a difficult thing for an unco like me to master, but really satisfying to try and a nice personal touch. @tc_kat and I are really excited to get up to the Sunshine Coast on a day where Melbourne seems to have slipped back to Winter! Lets do this, @nickgb1& @elliewilliams! . .... #calligraphy #destinationwedding #kawecosport #handwriting See more

10.01.2022 This is where we make it all official . While the weather in Melbourne can be unpredictable a lot of the time, mid-late Spring is the most popular time of year to get hitched. New life, new growth, new start. #willyoumarryme #celebrant #marriage

10.01.2022 Throw back to an amazing ceremony ceremony in San Diego last year. The beautiful @ellie.yoga & dashing @wardy_james tying the knot in style by the beach. I was privileged to have a front row seat as the couple exchanged the most perfect vows.

06.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago, I was thrilled to be featured on Alen Kontra Photography 's website. It would be remiss of me not to return the favour. Alen is an awesome photographer, a smooth operator and a great guy! Check out his view on weddings through the lens and some of the trends awash in the wedding scene right now!

05.01.2022 I thought it would be good to write a piece on some of the things to consider when choosing a celebrant. It's definitely a 'Horses for Courses' thing and whilst writing it, the importance of 'the right fit' became very apparent! If you know of people looking for the right celebrant for them - this is a piece they could get something out of! Feel free to share. https://www.timbarnescelebrant.com//how-to-go-about-choosi

04.01.2022 Marriages are made up of selfless acts. Here is a beautiful moment as the sun disappeared after the wonderful joining of @elliewilliams and @nickgb1 . . #beachwedding #queensland #newlyweds #husbandandwife #shesaidyes #whywouldntyou #letsgetmarried

03.01.2022 Not everyday that the celebrant gets to walk down the aisle! #celebrant #weddingofficiant #weddingday

02.01.2022 Wishing a Happy Ever After to these old friends @nickgb1, when we met 21 years ago, we could have had no idea that our friendship would have led to this. I am truly honoured to have been able to share this special moment with you. Love you, mate. @elliewilliams, Nick is a very lucky man to be able to call such a wonderful, graceful, hard-working, intelligent and beautiful woman his wife. Heres to many more good times ahead!

01.01.2022 This calls for a proper celebration This evening, I met with an amazing young couple who are heading for their dream wedding next year. When I asked if they were going to get a bit funky with their attire, they both looked at one another, winked and said, "We are going to turn a few heads!" I love being surprised by what couples wear to the altar - whatever they wear they are going to look fantastique! Jason Briscoe on Unsplash... #tuxedo #wedding #loveisintheair
