Elite banter going on here between myself and the mother of the groom, Kathy.

The pre ceremony vibes were very strong for Chris & Casey’s day, which makes for a ripper ceremony.

They were absolute sweethearts and two of the best, I will be doing another post about them in the future, that is for sure!

Shout out for the incredible snap from my man michaelbriggsphotography

I will also have to release the video of this chat, which directorsedge has, it’s hilarious & full of scandal 😂

Zali and Kyle you beautiful people, my goodness.

I could write a bunch of words here, but to be fair the photos from the tremendously talented danbrannanphoto tell the story.

Scroll across to take it in, these are fantastic, none more so than the epic fireworks display to farewell the night’s festivities 🔥

Thanks also for leaving me a really kind review, you folks are the best! ❤️

Check out the dip on Tahlia & Mitchell - elite!

These folk were absolute legends to work with and put together such an amazing team for their day.

Random wedding tip: put together a team of vendors who are like minded, have worked together before (if possible) and fit with you vibe, it makes you day that much sweeter being surrounded by like minded peeps who know what they are doing!

Oh, and check out the super nice review, one of my favs - it really made my day 😊🥰

Thanks for the awesome snaps emilyhowlettphotography 😍

Steve and Liv - undeniably two of the greats.
I was thrilled to be a part of their ceremony and reception with such a super crew and venue ❤️❤️

I love these photos by capturing what has quickly become a very popular entrance trend, the waving of the napkins.

Am I for it?! Sure, it gets people up and about and adds to the festivities 🥳 🏳️

Also, scroll across for the super nice review from Steve and Liv 😊❤️

Incoming couple appreciation post!

Just a big thank you to all the couples that choose me to be the guy that weds them :)

It’s never lost on me how lucky I am that this is my full time gig, and the people I get to work with really make my job a dream ❤️❤️

To all the past couples and to all the new ones who have just jumped on board this year, thank you!
I can’t wait to work with you, share a bunch of laughs & good times, but most importantly, get you married!!

And about this photo - well this is the magnificent Em & Gary, two of the sweetest people going around (I mean look at the review they wrote me! - scroll across).

Here is me, in my natural environment, in the jungle wearing a bow tie.. and also getting a couple of excellent people married in Millie & Andrew at .thevenue

Being enquiry season there have been a few new followers on here (thank you!), so I thought I probably should introduce myself to these new folk.

So here goes, my name is Sam (obviously) and I marry people, sometimes MC weddings, and occasionally corporate events.

Here are some quick fun facts about what I do:
- this is my full time gig (since 2019)
- I have performed over 400 weddings
- In a previous life I did stand up comedy
- The biggest compliment I can get after a wedding is that people think I am an old friend of the couple.
- My ceremonies are often described as a mix of meaningful, fun and funny, but all of it comes from telling the couples story, no cookie cutter stuff here.

Most of all, I really love what I do and feel incredibly lucky to work with the awesome people that choose me to get them hitched! ❤️

If you think I could be the guy to kickstart your big day, then head over to my website and drop me an enquiry, I’d love to have chat :)

Photo thanks to the talented

2024 is here!! Wowsers it has already been a wild one.

Lots of weddings, but also we are also smack bang in the middle of enquiry season so I have been meeting with so many awesome couples who are getting married in 2024, 2025 & 2026 (yep that’s happening!)

So, about these photos (by ) well it is the very, very, very good looking Chantal & Chams at .
We definitely had a bunch of fun on the way to getting them married - they also left me a super nice review - scroll across!

If this looks like the type of ceremony you are after, head to my website for more info (link in bio)
I have made sure to have video of me in action on both my website and Insta - so you know I can string a sentence together and get an idea of how I roll!

Well, hello 2024.

Happy New Year!

We are back and firing with a cheeky 3 weddings to kick things off this week, I can’t wait.
I am really excited for this year, it’s going to be a winner, I can feel it!

To start off 2024, here are a few happy snaps from Elly & Henry’s ceremony from late last year.

I love seeing photos of the bride and groom, but also the guests just having an awesome time during the ceremony - this is how weddings are meant to be - Not just the part that stands in between your guests and an open bar. Let’s have some fun with it!
Shout out to for capturing it so well!

Also, friendly reminder to couples, now is the time to get in touch with your dream team suppliers!

Smiles, smiles, laughs… then more smiles. That is Rene & Scott.

These guys were absolute superstars, they gave me so much great material to work with in their script.. fun fact - the first thing Rene said to Scott when they met was that he looks like Macklemore.. he kinda does.

But lookalikes aside, when I look at these snaps (thank you ) it reminds me of how fun their night was.

And what a stacked vendor list - what a crew!!

Side note - I had some good banter with Sue, the mother of the groom, but I think she won the roast in the end, scroll across for the pics.

Part of my job as your celebrant is to make sure your guests know what is happening next, this includes nailing the petal toss as you walk back down the aisle. Don’t worry I got you covered! 🙌

Wow Kate and Nick, just wow. My goodness where do I start with this one… If I had to sum up the day for these two legends, it would be simple - laughs, lots of drinks and a mega wedding party 🎉 There were a few added elements to this wedding. I had the pleasure of being the celebrant for Kate’s sister Lauren and her husband Alan a few years back, and as any wedding vendor knows, it is so special to get the invite back to be a part of another huge day!! Plus awesome to hang out with all the fam again! Super team on the day, none more so that the ultra talented @courtney.laura.photography with these snaps. Side note, I also got to share a drink with a great friend and brother from another mother @sparkz_city who was a guest on the day. Super fun times, so many laughs. One truly for the ages, congrats Kate and Nick!!
