The internet, which, among its many gifts, has given us a platform to thirst after the Chris Hemworths and Miranda Kerrs of the world, as well as slide into each other's DMs - it really is the best wingwoman or wingman. And, believe it or not, beyond right swipes and Bumble back-and-forths, Snapchat was actually the place where Stephanie and Luke first connected.

Although they knew of each from highschool, it wasn't until a few years after completing year 12 they struck up a conversation online, which turned into their first meet up.

Since that first meet up, they have been together ever since. Two houses, two children and a whole lot of adventures. I was lucky enough to marry them on a beautiful sunny day, during these crazy Covid times at Harrigan’s Calypso Bay. Stephanie and Luke were the most relaxed bride and groom I had ever met - the day was full of laughs , champagne and celebrations carried on into the night. Check out some photos from the very talented Every Moment Collective.

Rain, hail or cyclone, nothing could stop newlyweds Tayla and Keith having a Gold Coast beach wedding. Leading up to the wedding, we spoke about a Plan B for the ceremony following warnings of Cyclone Oma; 70km gale force winds, torrential rain and flooding. But, no matter the news update - Tayla and Keith remained positive, they were adamant we wouldn't need plan B.

For a shore loving couple like Tayla and Keith, there's nothing more romantic than the sand between your toes, sounds of the waves crashing on the shore, and the sultry, salt tinged air as you say your vows.
So, as a true blue beach bum myself I made it my mission to make it happen. Even if I had to pull out the gumboots and don a Bridget Jones wind-blown hair do.

The big day rolled around and luckily the larger storm did not. By the afternoon, the sun broke through the clouds and a smiling Talya and Keith said 'I do' to each other among their closest friends. Check out the photos from the day below:
