❤️ 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗥 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 ❤️
Hey wonderful humans. I'm excited, but also a teensy bit sad, that my calendar is full until October 2023.

What? Crazy, I know!

I'll still be considering a handful of hiking elopements over the winter, but my books are closing for regular hitchings.

To all the amazing couples who I will be working with over the 2022/2023 season, I cannot wait to have a blast with you all. It's going to be sensational!

WOWSA! BOOKINGS ARE CHOKKAS

Hey lovers. This has kinda crept up quietly, but I'm so happy (yet also a bit sad) to say that my calendar is full until October 2022. That's not to say that I have a wedding every single weekend between now and then, but I do have a bunch of amazing couples who I'll have the honour of hitching between then and now. So awesome!

So if you're looking at organising a wedding or elopement in late 2022, send me a DM or give me a google.

Hey you beautiful legends! Over this weekend I've been reflecting on weddings, and specifically my couples who have children together; especially very young children. I was then overjoyed then, to receive this golden image from a wedding last October. A photo which summed up my feelings completely.

Angela and Kieryn shared their special day with their gorgeous son Felix. Master Felix went through ALL the emotions during the course of the wedding and was lucky enough to be giving Mum a hug for the majority of the ceremony. Best seat in the house!

I'm strongly FOR babies at weddings. Weddings are celebrating life and love; young children symbolise this perfectly. And just look at the joy and love in Mum and Dad's faces.

Thank you Angela, Kieryn and Felix for having me as your Celebrant. Through all the changes your ceremony went through, it was awesome to witness your determination and get-it-gone-well attitude.

Gosh it's been a while, but last night (22.11.2020) was an incredible night for the aurora australis. I was lucky enough to capture it at South Arm, just from the end of twilight. I was immediately treated to gorgeous colour and beams that grew to a full-on naked-eye show.

We are so lucky to be witness to this in Tasmania.

I adore seeing the beaming smiles, of the wonderful humans I have had the honour to hitch, being shared by great publications like Dancing With Her.

It was such a highlight of 2019, to travel up north and witness these two soak up their day.

This article is their story in their own words. I encourage you all to enjoy reading it, and marvel at the gorgeous photography captured by (instagram)

Congratulations Nic and Mils 🖤

BLOG // Amelia & Nicola ❤️ They met over five years ago at University and spent a lot of time dancing around each other for the first 10 months, but eventually got it together. ⁠

https://dancingwithher.com/amelia-nicola/
⁠
Amelia sneakily proposed on a clifftop at one of their favorite places in Tassie, with Nic's Mum's engagement ring [who has passed away]. ⁠
⁠
Just after their four year anniversary, they went up to Hagley Tasmania and got married at a beautiful old luxury homestead. It wasn't your typical wedding. They chose an intimate circle to help them celebrate for the whole weekend. They did everything ourselves, with the help of friends and family. A minimalist, warm, and relaxed wedding.⁠
⁠
We got the chance to share their love story & wedding weekend over on the blog. https://dancingwithher.com/amelia-nicola/ 👈 *happy reading*⁠

On a wintry 4th of July, these two loved-up legends braved the misty rain and "locked it down" on the banks of Lake St Clair.

In a beautiful ceremony by (check her out on instagram), witnessed by a tiny gathering of close friends, there were a lot of laughs, a few tears and a whole lot of joy.

I was so honoured to be asked to capture the wedding as their photographer. Yup! This hitcher now takes pictures 📸

I couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and genuine couple to work with, or a more perfect location than Pumphouse Point for my first photography gig. A wonderful way to return to weddings after a short break.

Full of gratitude 🖤

Thanks for the share ABC Hobart 🖤

I share more beautiful photos I take on my Instagram. Come say hi

Damn I love Tasmania.

Incredible! Have you ever seen the Aurora Australis? 😍

We haven't seen one like this in Tassie for a while ... so we thought we'd remind you how magnificent the show is!

Hey hitchees! My calendar is now open for taking bookings from October 2021 until May 2022. Yes, that is a hell of a long way into the future.

𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗚 - 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗘 (𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚!)

Ever wanted a wonderfully intimate wedding, but also a huge love-party with family and friends. Can't decide?

Why not do both?

Thank you to the amazing Aaron + Simone and Madeleine + Brodie for sharing their stories.

Also huge thanks to photographers Lauren Sutton Photography and BY THE WILDE + blogs Less Stuff - More Meaning and Unholy Matrimony for sharing these stories in the past. You rock!

When choosing to elope, marrying couples can throw out the figurative wedding rule book; the stifling traditions and potential excesses, and really focus in on what makes them unique.

Holy heck this was an epic wedding! A couple of hundred loved up folks with a music festival vibe, all gathered in a natural amphitheatre on the banks of a bubbling brook. Yeah, that's all pretty nice...

BUT THESE TWO!!! OMG they were the most sensationally authentic, in-the-moment and hilarious couple. Claire + JB - you fill those around you with joy. This pic is testament to that.

Beautiful image captured by the wonderfully talented

With the backdrop of the majestic Tesselated Pavement, Em and Ray were hitched in a giggle-filled ceremony, surrounded by their best in pre-covid days.

I love weddings that are so close to nature; the roaring southern ocean crashing against the ancient patchwork as these two awesome humans said "I do". And I got the chance to wear my flip-flops (btw it's criminal there is no thong emoji 🙃).

Wonderful photography by Madelyne Kramer Photography

As we as a community take measures to flatten the curve of COVID-19, couples around Australia have had to make the devastating decision to postpone their wedding. They are hurting, especially as they are dealing with this within the difficulties we are all facing.

It's now your duty, as a friend, to 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗭𝗭 𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚.

𝗗𝗢'𝗦
- Tell them that they are fricking awesome and you love them to bits.
- Send them messages of support. Send them a video of you singing a song just for them.
- Make them laugh.
- Leave them alone if they need to have space.

𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧𝗦
- Ask them when the wedding will be. They will tell you when they are ready.
- Make it about you.

Your friends need you to be THE BEST FRIEND right now. Just don't hug.
