Our Story

How we got here

Two lives that found their way onto the same path,
and the stars aligned and we fell in love.

Ours has been a story of long drives, hikes and stargazing, sci-fi movies, fantasy audiobooks, hitting buckets at the driving range, and every day made better simply because we share it together. When we pictured the moment we'd promise one another forever, we always saw the people we love most, gathered close, by the sea.

And so we'd be honoured to have you with us as we say "I do" on the beautiful Northern Rivers coastline.

Your Presence

Gifts

Your being there is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. Having you with us to share the day means more than anything we could unwrap.

Should you wish to give something, a contribution towards our future would be warmly and gratefully received — there'll be a wishing well on the night, if you would like to contribute.
