The Day

​

We wanted to create a wedding that truly reflected us as a couple. As an avid art lover and creative type, Hayley had a vision that included her favourite colour orange, gold accents and pops of bright pinks, yellows etc to create a kind of 'boho eclectic' vibe. We were pretty adamant to not follow trends or just do things because 'that's what you should do', rather create our own special style! Looking at all our photos, I'm so glad we went bright and colourful

Hayley had her late Dad, Bradley's pendant attached to her bouquet, just as 2 of her sisters had also done on their wedding days.

Murray's Mum gifted some special family mementos to each of us on the wedding morning, a handkerchief belonging to his late Pop and one from his great-Grandmother for Hayley.

For 'something blue' Murray had a sapphire (Hayley's birthstone) that her late Dad had given her Mum in a ring for her 21st birthday, remade to a special ring he gifted her on the wedding day.

The weather was a bit of a disaster! We never thought we would experience such awful weather at the end of October! Some of our guests were a last minute out (literally the day of) due to being flooded in their homes in Echuca. On the wedding day we had rain pelting down and gale force winds, forcing us to move our ceremony to the undercover deck area instead of the big, beautiful landing area overlooking the bay like we had planned. This created a bit of a knock-on effect, lots of things had to change as a result of the wet weather. But, we still had the most amazing day surrounded by our nearest and dearest and the most incredible sunset where we got our amazing 'golden hour' photos.

The MVP's of the day were definitely our celebrant Suzette and our videographer Ben- they were both so amazing!! Suzette was the perfect inclusion for us, and all of our guests said just how wonderful she was performing our ceremony- she was warm, heartfelt and just the best. Ben's amazing work for our videos is pretty obvious, not only is he super talented but he is also the loveliest guy you could meet! Murray and I both instantly felt so comfortable with him, his posing prompts felt so natural, and it was just like we had a friend there following us around all day.
