    What a wonderful day it was for Jasmine and Nick…..this beautiful couple had the most sensational weather for their wedding day. From the first time I met Jasmine and Nick it was obvious that they were absolutely perfect for each other, generous and tender people….and soooo very much in love. Nick is a soldier and until just before Christmas was in Afghanistan as part of Australia’s defence efforts there. This has meant that they have both had to endure periods of separation, but I feel that this has only served to make their love so much stronger….it made my heart smile to watch the moments of gentle tenderness and displays of affection they shared with each other throughout the reception.The Chinese Gardens in Darling Harbour was the setting for their beautiful ceremony followed by a lovely reception at Hyde Park Barracks Cafe. The 55 guests, including family and friends that had traveled from Melbourne, Canberra and Queensland, were treated like royalty as they celebrated this joyous union. Commencing with pre-dinner drinks and canapes in the Barracks courtyard, Jasmine and Nick took the opportunity to relax and mingle with their guests.

    As the reception commenced there were great speeches from Jasmine’s dad, Ricky then by Nick. A delicious meal was enjoyed by all before more great speeches from Nick’s dad, Peter and Best Man, Mark. The cutting of the cake, a few special words from Jasmine’s boss and time for what for me was the highlight of the night – the first dance. The first dance was so very special because of the tenderness, affection and emotions that eluded from Jasmine and Nick, you could feel the love in the room….absolutely beautiful!!!! The joy of being married, emotions and the intense feeling in the room took their toll causing Jasmine to shed a few tears of happiness.

    Jasmine and Nick, thank you for allowing me to be a part of the celebration of your love – it was such a joy to get to know you. The two of you belong together – two soul mates who make each other very happy. May love and music fill your lives forever.












    Jasmine & Nick were able to relax and enjoy some time mingling with their guests before the reception started.




    I loved the the tenderness and affection that Jasmine and Nick shared throughout the celebration but especially during the first dance…..it made my heart smile.

    As I have mentioned previously, each Sunday I look forward to reading the Wedding Section of the Sunday papers and each couples wedding day summary. I especially love being surprised by finding one of the couples that entrusted me with their day, being amongst those featured. Today not only was I excited to see Madeline & Robert’s wedding as one of the featured couples in the Sunday Telegraph Weddings Section – they actually were the lead wedding feature!!

    Reading the summary of their wedding and the proposal on the beach reminded me of when I first met Madeline and Robert. Robert told me how he had planned the proposal, how he went down on one knee, how whilst the proposal was occurring waves came crashing in, how Madeline recalled that everything felt surreal. It reminded me of their beautiful ceremony, the wonderful reception and how much everyone had enjoyed the entire wedding day. I was delighted to recall the special moments of Madeline and Robert’s fantastic wedding and being able to enjoy them all over again. Isn’t it great how a simple wedding photo in the Sunday Paper can bring back so much!!
