After the ceremony, it was time for the official bridal party photos. We began in the stunning Circulating Library, which was the original library before the Mortlock Wing (where we had our reception) was later added. I would have actually loved to have our ceremony there but alas the room is way too small. It sure made for some atmospheric photos though.
And now in the larger but similarly beautiful Mortlock Chamber:
Our photographer Luke is such a dude. He was so friendly and funny that having our photos taken felt like hanging out with an old friend, which made us so relaxed he could capture some lovely genuine expressions.
One of my fave shots from the wedding – very formal, yes, but that staircase looks like it’s simply made for bridal party photos!
I just realised I haven’t introduced you to our wingmen and -women. From the left on the stairs is my dear school friend Jaime, my friend since the age of three Jo and my beautiful maid of honour Cherie, then on our other side is Ryan’s brother and best man Dan, best mate Sam and my brother Liam. They were all brilliant and so helpful in the leadup to the day and were so fun to spend our wedding day with.
And finally, my favourite (and might I add, award-winning!) photo from our wedding.

After a few days in Melbourne with friends and family, we spent the second half of our trip on the Mornington Peninsula for a belated anniversary holiday.
The gorgeous seaside town of Sorrento. I wish I could have taken some photos of the mansions at nearby Portsea – seriously I haven’t seen houses like this since I last visited some French chateaux.
I was completely smitten by our accommodation at Blue Moon Cottages (good choice as always, Ryan).
More wineries, naturally.
A-ma-zing lunch at French restaurant La Petanque.
Enjoying the views on the ocean side of the peninsula…
…and the bay side.
Where I would like to be spending summer.
McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park.
The Man and I had a wonderful time, I only wish we could have spent longer.
Hello my dears! How have you been?
Thanks so much for amusing yourselves while I was away. It was a much-needed break and I’m feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the rest of the year!
The Man and I spent a week in Victoria, with the first half in Melbourne visiting family and friends and the other half on the Mornington Peninsula. Here are some snaps from our time in Melbourne:
Wandering along Brunswick Street.
I died and went to stationery heaven at Zetta Florence.
Lunch at Little Creatures Dining Hall.
There was an exhibition of Viennese Secessionist art and design on at the National Gallery which didn’t disappoint (unlike the no-photography rule).
Giant devil baby statues along St Kilda Road for the Festival.
Melbourne Museum.
Our friends took us to the beautiful Yarra Valley for wine tasting.
Come back tomorrow to see the rest of the trip!
This one has taken a while to see the light of day but boy, has it been worth the wait!
Back in May I was asked by the lovely Emily of White Room Events to contribute the stationery for an inspiration shoot at one of my favourite Adelaide venues, Hotel Richmond (I could never get sick of those windows).
The shoot, beautifully captured by Jennifer Sando, was in a 60s style with a contemporary Australian twist. I created the invitations with a mod pattern in the peach and grey palette.
I would never in a million years have thought of adding native flowers, bistro chairs and glittery ribbons to the retro style but wow! Doesn’t it give such a wonderfully layered look that’s not too ‘themey’?
Sarah of The Swoon Effect (who, by the way, is so gorgeous I thought she was the model) did a fantastic job of recreating the dark-eyes-big-hair look of the day.
This shoot actually fulfilled one of my business goals this year: to be published on Style Me Pretty! Even better than that, though, was the opportunity to meet a group of super-talented wedding vendors, who I’ve since worked with on other exciting projects.
I’m in the process of developing this invitation into a full collection, however if you’re interested in ordering it before it’s released just drop me a line.

Boy do I have a treat for you today!
As I allued to on Monday, I was recently approached by Mary & Gabrielle Events to create some stationery for a wedding inspiration shoot by White Wall Photography for The Lane.
Enjoy the glorious dreamy photos…
I was going to let the photos do all the talking, but I just have to interject at this point. I mean, it’s a freakin’ fireplace. In the woods.
Isn’t that last shot hysterical?
You can find the original post here on The Lane.

P.S. Did I mention the fireplace?!
Today I’ve got something special that I’ve been dying to show you: our engagement shoot!
It wasn’t some full-on whole day shoot with stylists and props and the whole kaboodle. It was just The Man and I and our awesome photographer Luke Simon. The Royal Adelaide Show was on a couple of weeks before our wedding so we went there for a couple of hours for some fun shots.
Luke was trying to get us to ham around. Ryan loved it and immediately got all cheesy, which made me lose it with embarassment!
Luke got to know us so well he even remembered we’re total pedants, so he suggested this funny shot. (Maybe we’re the only ones who appreciate punctuation gags?)
Naww.
Phew, end of another busy week. Hopefully I can catch up on a few zzzs this weekend. Have a good one!
