🤍Maternity Leave 🤍

And I’m officially starting maternity leave to prepare to welcome our third bubba earth side at the start of July.

But don’t worry I’m not going far !

🐣Baby time 🐣
I will be going a tad quiet from July to Dec 2024 whilst I embrace mumma of three life.
I will just be doing the odd wedding during this time.
I will then be jumping back into it in Jan 2025 with a smaller line up of 3-4 weddings a month from Jan - April 2025.
Then from May 2025 onwards I plan to be back in full capacity!

📓Bookings 📓
I’m planning a HUGE 2025/2026 season so if you are planning on getting hitched from June 2025 onwards please reach out to chat dates and lock in yours!
2026 bookings are already starting to trickle in as well!

👋Enquiries 👋
I will still be checking emails and socials during this time however I just might be operating at a slower response time than usual.
So please still reach out to chat and book in your date, just be patient with my response :)
