The irony of the professional photographer photo bombing as you *real time* butcher a selfie… happy days for newly weds - Dhruv and Jinal approached the day with a mix of delight and humour as they attended their first Western wedding ever… their own! It was as joyful as you can imagine. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi all! We are back with another beautiful sound experience at Industrie Performing Arts Space in Bellerive, Hobart on Friday the 29th of September at 7.15! Myself and Gem Wildsoul will be lulling you into the beautiful world of sound bath meditation.
If you are interested in free movement as well, we have a special deal with 5Rhythms movement who run a class at the same space from 6 til 7. Check out the link in the comments for information.
We look forward to welcoming you on Friday the 29th.
So marks the next adventure I am on. Sound Bath Meditations. It’s been a journey and one which sits perfectly within the world of ritual I sit in. Please come and join us on Friday evening. It’s worth the time and $ investment. Big love 💕
This is my cousin, Dakota. This is her love, Kevin. I remember when Dakota was born. I babysat her (and her 3 brothers) for years. She now lives in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 the land of our ancestors (being second generation Aussies) and the Kev mister. We love Kev. He’s an absolute living legend. So we were pretty happy about this one. I just feel old. Even though it is a privilege to grow old, I feel old. So little cuz, you are now a De Ram (try saying that over and over fast) I am so grateful I was able to walk alongside you in this beautiful rite of passage. Big love to you both.
Holy heck! What a night! From the moment I met these two I knew this wedding was going to be an absolute fire cracker! I was not disappointed. The venue, the guests, the vendors… the everything! It was one hell of a party which went off with a bang. I loved it! Getting to stay to MC the reception meant I was able to indulge in the entire party, enjoying the laughs that went along with it. And the s’mores… just saying. (Insert chefs kiss here)! Always a blast hanging alongside - nothing like a bit of impromptu yoga stretching to keep the limbs limber for the entire night…
Cheeky little elopement. Always fun. And in one of my fav spots in Hobart Town. Life is good people. Life is good ❤️
This was the ultimate curated ceremony. So much love and care went into every aspect of the day. It was a pleasure and a privilege to walk alongside these lovers. EVERYTHING was STUNNING!
Sun glorious sun! The rays matched the joy for the Scientist and the Teacher. Never was there a more lovely beach outlook, a more happier and supportive crowd. The black cockatoos agreed. Always a good omen in my books! Accompanied by the fabulous for extra good times!
“Now folks, it wasn’t
quite love at first sight. Jeddah's first thoughts about Frederick were that he looked
like a grumpy bogan. Her second thoughts, a few tequila shots later, was that
perhaps he didn't look as bogany. A few more tequila shots later, Jeddah told
Frederick that he had nice eyes. In true romantic style, Frederick looked directly
into Jeddah’s eyes replying with "yes, they're real". “
Favourite story ever. ❤️
At times, I can find it hard to sum up some people into words. Especially when it comes to documenting them in this way. Wide goofy smiles aside, this one was a pleasure. The artist and the wild life rescuer. Hold onto each other tight lovers. You know better then anyone you are on to a winner. Lovers 4 Eva!!!
Cheeky little elopement on my mountain. This was an absolute HOOT! What a joyful couple of happy go lucky lovers with some hilarious travelling companions. snapping some delicious pics. Utterly fabulous. Genuinely, if you are in a mix and don’t know where to go to tie the knot - head to this beacon of luturwita - a sacred place ripe to witness ritual.
When you forget a selfie with the couple but still pull out a snazzy little one with flowers and a tennis ball! Tennis ball (I hear you cry)? Well… The most popular guest was their very compliant doggo companion. Always a winner for me!
We’ll never have I ever! A fire meant we had to evacuate the air B n B to wed these two crazy lovers… ended up meeting at Orford to seek out a neat little spot, utilising the ever popular BBQ shelter for our ‘get ready’ spot. What a journey! Epic pic featuring, Bride Groom, photographer witness and .mcdermott.mua
Back a-top my mountain top… Eagles, yellow tail black cockatoos and trees as far as the eye can see… alongside one of my favourites ever I wed this beautiful, low key, chilled to the max loved up couple. They are in love! So they got married! It was spectacular!
Grinners are winners! Sweet summer vibes, smooth entrances and flowing rivers. Dressed in soft summer goodness we all strolled to the river edge to listen to his pledge of love unfold. There is nothing quite like an ‘on mass’ walk to a ceremony. We all share a collective goal (alongside our collective identity as wedding guests), to travel and arrive at the ceremony destination, on foot. We create the same beat, as we step side by side, comfortable to talk to friends old and new. I highly recommend.
When the inbox is hit with ‘can you marry us … btw I’m a newly registered celebrant myself’ it can induce a certain feeling that is part excitement, part fear, part anxiety and all nerves… we are mostly solitary in our job as Celebrants, rarely crossing the path of another Celebuddy at work. I am SO glad I said yes. A vision for this wedding was one that invoiced community singing - we raised our voices (and I mean we ALL raised our voices) in community choir, singing along, making up words and dancing throughout the ceremony. It. Was. Epic. Music is a universal leveller. It unifies, connects and floods us with all the right happy feelings. More of our brain lights up when we participate in music (of any description) then any other activity in life. Everyone who knows me knows I’m a huge fan of this AND am all for incorporating music (especially live) into ceremony and rites of passage. AND Not only this - Amy (Bride and celebrant) has a way with words that is equally divine. If you need a celebrant in Melbourne, hit her up. I wholeheartedly and lovingly recommend her. She’s a ♥️♥️♥️ vibe!
Oh yes people! Just yes. This was an epic banger of a wedding. We all say it (us Celebrants), and this couple are point and case. We get to hang and celebrate with the BEST people ever. Old friends and new friends my heart is soaring in this photo. I loved it. Really really. ♥️♥️♥️
Windswept lovers! Gusts of up to 50 knots didn’t stop these two from stepping out into their outdoor ceremony as planned. Never have I been more glad to NOT be wearing a dress as we swept through the ceremony. There is something so joyful about extreme elements, it builds atmosphere, intensity and makes for an amazing story after the fact. I think this pair carried it well!
Just look at these glowing faces, well… Glowing! Some serious cross country lovers here. The pair who met on Oz soil amidst the pandemic days of old. Both Army medics, one wielding a swab, the other sent to Oz from the USA to learn how to wield said swab, not even a hazmat suit could stand in the way of kismet! So much joy, on a beautiful home farm to boot. It’s what life is all about.
So here is a definite top 10 selfie… look at it! Pure art. This is what the beginning of an epic night looks like people! These two hold an absolutely hilarious (and dare I say it agin, epic) story of love. And they carry it with such ease and grace. The class and style of this wedding was as elegant as it gets - with the natural setting doing all the hard work. Gah. I loved it. Fun fact: I found out a day prior that my Great Grandfather used to own Prospect House and my Dad used to go there on weekends to ‘run around’. Madness! I pay my respects to the palawa pakana peoples of lutruwita as well as Georgia’s mob the kamilaroi, Djangadi and Birirppi peoples. Always was, always will be.
Oh my giddy aunt. These two! What a bunch of the best kind of nutters! There is always a special vibe when you are invited to wed other wedding vendors and this one was every kind of special. These two crack me up constantly. Their off beat humour and outlook on life matches mine in all the right ways. To say I loved this would be an understatement. Katie and Richie, I am sending you all the love, curiosity, awe, adventure, stories, joy and peanut wishes I can always. Thanks for the laughs and generally just being your authentic awesome selves. Keep doing you hard.
If life gives you parents with a block of land so spectacular down the Huon Valley, off grid, and a hill that calls to your soul for a wedding … well you just get married there, don’t you! Easy vibes, adorable guests, great folk live tunes (I LOVE a banjo!) and a connection worth writing home about. It filled my heart with beauty and I even got to kick my shoes off!
Cheeky little elopement late last year. Gorgeous weather, beautiful gardens and vintage cars. Simple, elegant and ultimately them. And a lot of fun. Just saying!
Dear Liz and Dan, I would very much like for you to be my couple every weekend. We shall marry you over and over again with ease and grace, laughter and hilarity and, Gandalf the Grey quotes (because Gandalf is fun). These people and their people are the best! Be more like Liz and Dan and go get life. Climb some rocks as well, connected to nature AND exercise! Absolutely STUNNING florals from as well and brilliant location, the team at Bangor are awesome!
It’s not just me! Huzzah! When you get to marry more then one member of a family AND meet the latest addition from the first member of the family member you married (you following me?!) it’s pretty darn special. Just like her brothers wedding, Melanie’s absolutely tipped it down last minute with a mad dash run inside 5 mins before the ceremony began. Ain’t life a treat folks. Ain’t it a treat. Big love Mel and Bayley
Then this one, where I just took one with we’ve both had hair cuts. Just saying.
Cheeky little family elopement where I forgot to take a selfie so I took one with a five way sign instead. I KNOW
The waves, they raged. The wind, it beat. The seagulls, quivered. And it was perfection! A moody mood for two genuine individuals. I got lost in the feels. SUPER special to have back behind the lens and to see smashing out her absolute superior talents with her make up wand. Yet another beauty at (a place you all must go) with
Holy HECK this was fun! Meet my cousin, Zac. Smooshed between us, his WIFE Cadia… it is always a joy being the officiant at a family wedding… the laughter, the ‘knows’ you don’t normally know (with your ‘regular’ couples) and the good times roll… these two are particularly special. Big love you beautiful lovers! Keep on spreading the joy you bring to all who cross your paths in life... oh, and a quote from my dearest hubby the following morning ‘how did you go getting your three children home last night’?!!? FYI, I have 2 children… and 1 husband…
Cheeky little legals only for these gorgeous creatures. It don’t take much to ‘do the deal’ and yet… it somehow always manages to hold its own, even in an ‘everyday environment’. Rituals are a rite of passage friends. We humans live for these moments. Big love and many, many more happy tears to you two, dear lovers, for the third (and final) part of your epic wedding journey!
