God knows I’m filled with so much gratitude as I lay in bed, I have a long list people to thank but I’ll start here. Thank you @graceateliersg for your gorgeous gowns. I felt so so beautiful in them. Thank you so much for blessing your brides and taking such great care of me.Thank you @shotfromtheheart for immortalising me in these gowns and making the shoot SO special. You truly shoot from the heart and I’m blessed to have you (I know 60-year-old me will look back on these with lots of fond memories of this day + happy tears). To @preciousfilmsweddings and team for the love, hard work and enthusiasm throughout the day (and bearing the cold with Trev and I). You made us laugh, feel so comfortable and brought us a lot of joy ♥️Here’s a series of solo shots that were captured that day. Will share some of my fav pics of trev and I next 🥹 by @shotfromtheheart

When I hear from couples who are already parents, I get instantly excited. There’s something incredibly special about a wedding day that’s not just celebrating your love, but the beautiful little family you’ve already built together. Those tiny moments shared with your children become some of the most meaningful memories of all. I was in absolute Awe of Leah & Dan and how present, patient and beautiful they were with their little loves. A wedding day can be so full on, especially for children! There was so many little moments where their kids just needed their mum and dad, and they were there every.single.time for them. It was beautiful chaos! My absolute favourite kind of day. Here is a little bit of the magic in monochrome of Mr & Mrs Lemon’s elopement earlier this year 🥰 by @shotfromtheheart

I’ve definitely heard before from my couples pre-wedding that they “just want to have fun” and enjoy a big party. But it’s easy to get swept up in all the details and expectations that a wedding can often come with.Not Katie & Mitch though.They were committed to the fun, and they did not stop from the moment the day began until the very last song. They laughed loudly, danced HARD, Squeezed every loved one, and soaked up all of the magic together!It’s what it’s all about! Prioritising what matters most to you and committing to it. I’m alll about those vibes and am so grateful to have been there to snap up all those moments for these two cutie pies.Katie and Mitchell’s dream team below:Venue @banoolgardens & @auntykims_ Dress @kyhastudios Florist @yungflorals Content creator @ohmygrady_wedding Music @angusjameseventsxx Celebrant & MC @youvegottheloveevents Bar @theproseccovanofficialHair @maiden.by.bessy Makeup @abbeyparkemakeup by @shotfromtheheart
