Autumn days in Yamba are some of my very favourite. Mornings and evenings are cool with perfectly mild day temperatures. This past Saturday was one of those days. The sun was shining and the air was peacefully still.  I arrived at Riverside Ranch to see that much work had been done the day before. The Ceremony and Reception locations were ready to go. The Bride and her Bridesmaids were tucked away in the Bridal Suite having their hair and make-up done by the team at Zig Zag Hair. The Groom arrived shortly after to put little Ruby down for a nap and to get himself ready. Everything To View More >>

This love story begins a few years ago in a place that we are all familiar with. With the smell of burgers and fries in the air, a sweet romance blossoms. A sweet baby boy is born, Jayden put a ring on it and a wedding needs to be planned. This is where I come in. I first met Caitlin shortly after I birthed my third child.

Between the window shaking thunderstorms on Friday night and the drizzling rain all of Sunday, Saturday was a picture perfect Winter’s day in Yamba. We were filled with anticipation leading up to this wedding. Not only was the weather forecast unpredictable, but also Saturday, on their wedding day, would be the first time we would actually meet Emma and Mark. We arrived as the girls were getting ready and were immediately met with a warm hug and a big friendly welcome.  Their radiant smiles and relaxed attitudes were infectious. From that first moment we knew it was going To View More >>
