Wedding: Reception & Details

It’s not often you have all of your favourite people in one room together. The wedding was a true celebration of love, a day filled with heartfelt moments, tears, happy laughter and an overall great atmosphere. I loved planning our wedding and all the finer details that we put into our special day.

Wedding: Sunset Ceremony

Fairy tales do come true…..

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was everything I imagined and more! The moment the tractor arrived to pick us up from the cottage everything started feeling very real. I was about to marry the man of my dreams! I loved the tractor ride down the road to the venue. I remember trying to take everything in…the beautiful sunset forming on the hills, my maid of honour saying she had butterflies in her stomach, the boys getting excited and my mum trying to hold back the tears. I was about to walk down the aisle to my soon to be husband!

Wedding: Bridal Party

How stunning was my bridal party!? You would think that this was a styled photo shoot with models! Haha! We had so much fun doing these photos. Kate, our photographer took us to a few different locations and the lighting was just perfect! These photos take our breath away. To say we love them would be an understatement! We honestly can’t stop looking at them! Here are a few of my favourites. 

Wedding: First look

Meeting Jake for our first look was one of my favourite memories of the day. Throughout the day the weather wasn’t the greatest and there was a light drizzle just before we were set to do our first look. Five minutes before I stepped out of the cottage the rain stopped and the sun came out! These images reminded me of the butterflies I felt in my stomach as I walked up behind him and the way Jake excitedly kept saying “Can I turn around now?!”. 

Wedding: Getting ready

Alright y'all, let's get the party started! I wanted to begin with our getting ready photos. For a girl, getting ready is one the funnest parts of the day! Having your main girls with you while you get all dolled up and pampered whilst sipping on champagne is always a highlight!

If I could offer one piece of advice for your wedding day, it would be to make sure you give yourself enough time to get ready.

Those little moments with the women in your life, will come to mean more to you than you ever imagined. So you don’t want to rush them. Family and friends were involved in every aspect of our wedding. We are so lucky to know such talented people. My long time friend Ashley did my hair and also one of my dearest friends Leo did my makeup. They did such an amazing job…I truly felt like a princess! 

Our Wedding!

I’m so thrilled to finally be able to share our wedding photos with you! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was everything I imagined and more! Looking through our photos makes me so emotional. It was so hard to pick which photos to share - there are so many! I decided to break my posts up into sections, to highlight the different parts of the day. 

Here’s a little sneak peak! To get all excited! 

Honeymoon Thailand: Patara Elephant Farm

On of our main reasons for picking Thailand for our honeymoon is that we wanted to visit Patara Elephant Farm in Chiang Mai. We got to be elephant owners for a full day! 

Honeymoon in Thailand

I can’t wait to share our special day with you. It was everything I imagined it to be and more! It really was the happiest day of my life! I felt and still feel like the luckiest girl in the world to marry Jake! The day was just perfect! So much to share with you all…the first being our amazing honeymoon trip to Thailand!
