A little about me...

I am a Sydney based model and content creator. I have been modelling for over 10 years now, and a few years ago started content creation. I love all things wellness, beauty and travel. I have two pet birds that I am obsessed with! I was a February 2024 bride. I met my husband randomly on a night out, at a bar in 2018. The rest is history! 

Our approach to planning the wedding was…

We first approached the wedding planning process by locking in our wedding planner early on. We then locked in our dream venue, and then all of the other elements. We approached it calmly and we enjoyed the process working with our amazing planners and seeing everything come together. 

Looking back on the day we are so glad that we…

 Hired an on the day wedding content creator. It was amazing to receive all of the iPhone content within 48 hours. 

The most unexpected part of the day was…

That my Dad could not get off the dance floor, he was beaming with happiness the whole night and spinning everyone around dancing. It was a real highlight!

When I look back on the day now I feel…

So incredibly happy, but also a little sad that it's over! The day truly goes by so fast. 

A word of advice to new brides would be…

Try not to stress about the little things, make sure to eat breakfast and drink lots of water the morning of, and ultimately do what makes you and your partner happy. The day goes by so fast, so make sure to take it all in! 

My Homebodii moment was special because and I wore…

A Homebodii rope and slip, with my wedding date embroidered onto our robes. It was so special and something we'll keep forever.
