Sarah & Monte’s forest wedding, at the beach!

Filed in Weddings — September 9, 2018

Meeting people as awesome as these two has to be the best part of my job!

So, it’s 1:07 in the morning and I am here to blog Sarah & Monte’s wedding day!  I’m very excited because I finally have my brand new website up and running, which is the reason for the late night (actually, a LOT of late nights) and now I want to blog, blog blog…

Moving on!  To give you a little bit of information, Sarah & Monte’s wedding was held up at the Sunshine Coast, really quite close to the beach – however, they wanted more of a country/forest theme to match their romantic styling.  The Novotel at Twin Waters provided the goods that really help to seal the deal for a very beautiful and romantic wedding vision!  S&M’s wedding reception continued at the resort in an awesome little tipi, styled to goodness gracious perfection!

The day also started out when quite the bucket of rain, but as I told Sarah (and I say it all the time hehe), go with the weather on your wedding day – one wedding day I experienced was rain, wind and fog all rolled into one and it is still one of my favourites to date!

Rain brings the mood and romance;
Wind brings the drama and movement;
and Sun brings the flare and sunsets!

Enjoy looking through this beautiful wedding and I will be back to blog again really soon, I promise!
