We met… We met while backpacking through South East Asia nearly six years ago. We met at Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia and with leaving everything to faith we continued to bump into each other while travelling around Vietnam. Will was at the end of his trip whereas I was just starting, when I arrived in Australia two months later, we had a long distance relationship between Sydney and Melbourne until I moved to Melbourne permanently a few months later and the rest is history.

Our proposal… Will proposed while we were in New York for Christmas in 2013, he got down on one knee outside the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, he already had my ring which fit perfectly and it was snowing.

The dress… My dress was a magical experience in Mariana Hardwick in Melbourne, with the help of one of my wonderful bridesmaids, we managed to find the perfect dress that ticked every box. It was custom made to measure, 1930’s vintage look and I felt like an absolute princess wearing it.

Our wedding theme/colours… I actually didn’t get too involved or tied down with themes or colours, with organising from Australia I decided to just concentrate on the big things like photographer, venue, food etc. I did want the bridesmaids to be in a pastel colour and liked mint green and I also wanted the flowers to be summer colours and everything else just fell into place.

My favourite part of the wedding day… My favourite part of the day was walking into the
ceremony and seeing all of our friends and family from Ireland, England and Australia all in the one room and seeing Will at the top smiling down at me. I was already a fairly relaxed bride but seeing Will for the first time that day, I knew it was going to be a magical day.

We chose our photographer because… From the moment we got in touch about potentially booking, to the day of our wedding Trish was a real pleasure to deal with. On the day of the wedding she was the perfect mix of professional, relaxed and fun. She listened to all of our requests about photos and even gave us a few welcome tips for the day that we hadn’t even thought about. And most importantly the photos were amazing. We are so happy that we went with Insight Photography for our wedding photos and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

My piece of advice for other brides… Getting stressed out will ruin your day, do as much as you can as far in advance as you can so there isn’t anything left to the last minute. Once you book your suppliers, i.e. Photographer, Video, Venue, trust them as they want to do a good job as much as you want everything to be perfect. I would have been lost without the help and advice from the suppliers I used and literally everything went to plan.
