Spotted Chook, Montville Wedding

As a marriage celebrant I  have the incredible privilege of being invited into the lives of some very wonderful people. Ron and Celeste are such a lovely couple - very different individuals, yet in such harmony with one another.  Their wedding day at Spotted Chook, Montville, in spite of the rain, was just lovely - very spiritual, in keeping with their personal values and beliefs, and involving special people in their lives.  Ron was supported by his son Peter, whilst his two lovely daughters Hannah and Heidi, preceded Celeste who arrival proudly escorted by her lovely Mum, Kathleen. Other family members and close friends participated in various ways in the ceremony and the reception that followed. 
After the ring exchange, Ron and Celeste celebrated their union through a candle lighting  and  Blessing of the Light ceremony.

Ron's 'Hot Rod', parked outside Amelie's Cottage, provided a lovely light hearted back drop to their wedding photos taken by Deborah Boots.

Romance at Clovelly Estate

Dale and Jaime had planned to wed beneath the beautiful Jacaranda tree in the gardens of Clovelly Estate, Montville.  Some heavy rain meant a move to the veranda was necessary, but they didn't let that spoil their special day. In fact, it gave their photographer, John Reyment, the opportunity to take some dramatically beautiful shots after the ceremony.

Dale's eyes filled with tears of awe and joy when he first spied Jaime, on her Dad's arm, wearing her stunning silk 'Fiorenza' gown and carrying a bouquet of lovely cream tulips prepared by Mel from Flourish Design of Montville.  Jaime entered to the gentle sounds of Pachalbel's Canon in D Major, played by Angel Strings.
Hand in hand, looking into each other's eyes as they spoke their vows from their heart - they looked quite stunning!  Joyous laughter and tears abounded.

This was a lovely intimate celebration of love and commitment - celebrated later with close family and friends over a degustation dinner at Clovelly's 'The Long Apron' restaurant.


Dale and Jaime - I wish you much happiness.

A Montville Rainforest Wedding for Karla and Joel

Karla and Joel were wed at Tree Houses of Montville in the quiet lushness of the rainforest understory.  With the carolling of the birds and the babbling waterfall below as music, they exchanged vows and committed themselves to each other.  Their guests gathered on the two platforms above and Karla made a grand entrance on her Dad's arm as she slowly descended the steps to the bottom platform where Joel was waiting.  She looked lovely in her almost Grecian gown with her lovely curls cascading down her back.  This private, somewhat secluded spot may not be the easiest place to take candid photographs, but it is certainly a very romantic place to hold one of the most important ceremonies of one's life!
Karla & Joel - I wish you every happiness in your life together.

Jason and Pam Marry at Clio's on Rosemount

Jason and Pam choose to celebrate their marriage at  Clio's on Rosemount - sister venue to Clio's at Palmwoods and just as lovely.  Jason and Pam are two very different people, yet their connection is something quite special to witness.  This 'tough Aussie bloke' has a real marshmallow heart (soft and sweet) and it was so very touching to see Jason's heart swell with emotion and immense pride at the first sight of his beautiful bride in her georgous A-line strapless gown, as Pam began her walk down the aisle to stand with him after her dramatic arrival in a open-topped Mercedes convertible!
Romantic red was the theme for the day and beautiful red roses adorned the aisle and the gazebo in which the ceremony was held. Jason and his grooms-men looked very swanky in their long line suit jackets and red rose button-holes which complimented the lovely Pam's rose bouquet and her attendants lovely red gowns.

Jason and Pam enjoyed a relaxing and romantic honeymoon in Fiji.
