Jess & Chris

Jess and Chris wanted to get married without the big fuss surrounding it. I love that. I love the simplicity of an elopement. It makes the very reason people get engaged in the first place really shine. Love.

Witnessing this beautiful summer day ceremony in Shoreham, were two friends and their daughter, Jess and Chris' son Angus, their celebrant Jon (he's my favourite, he married Michael and I too) , very lucky little me and as you'll see, two lovely baby bumps (radiantly pregnant Jess and her friend Millie's due dates are 3 days apart.)

Sheree & Naish

I never met Sheree & Naish before their wedding day, 

but within 5 minutes of arriving in the morning I felt like I was instantly a part of the celebrations and their beautiful day. 

Sometimes I feel so connected, welcomed and moved by the people I get to spend time with.

Thank you both and your beautiful family and friends so much. xo

thank you 2013

This year I drove around a volcanic island on the other side of the world, lost sleep and my patience, felt incapable, felt like I had it all, swam in an abandoned hot pool surrounded by snowy mountains, bought a house in the country, overcame my fear of driving, juggled being a full time Mama and working full time, didn't see any amazing movies, helped my son take his first steps, watched Gypsies walk their statue of saint Sarah into the sea, cried into the saucepan when Jason Molina died, didn't get used to starting the day at 6am, kissed my husband many times, made time for new friends and ate the pizza to end all pizzas in Italy. I hate to leave 2013 but 2014 is already extending her tantalising arms. I think this is going to be good.

 Thank you all so much for coming along for the ride
