Married by Friends

Ps, please bring band new puppies to your elopement 🐶🐕🐾🥰

We were wrapping up, and Jinal was heading off with S+A for more snaps, when Brodie (he was just a random person at this point), pulled up to the Skippers Lookout Carpark, with his 5 x 8-week old border collie pups + their gorgeous mum. Needless to say, we all hit pause for some puppy love 🐾

Honestly, this was at the Christmas party, while we were supposed be ‘modelling’ (yes, you can insert the 😂🙈 emojis here). It was hard to get the lot of us to stop talking, and by talking - we mean uncontrollably laughing, while sharing stories - which mainly revolved around our wedding highlights from 2024.

“How do you all know so much about each others weddings?” — fair question from the photographer. But, you see, the thing is.. We share ALL. Everything is a team effort. That is what makes the ✨ V I B E ✨

So, what’s it like to be MARRIED BY FRIENDS?! Well, it’s like being married by a friend, only everyone laughs, cries (happy tears), stands, and sits at all the right time, all while riding the rollercoaster of a good love story…. Oh, and no one falls asleep (but, we have had 1 fainter). That’s a story for another day! 😅✨
