  I’ve been sitting on this blog post for way too long. During wedding season life is pretty hectic and I find it tough to squeeze blogging into the mix, but once the offseason gets underway sometime in May I find myself with more time up my sleeve. Then once the NBA playoffs finish up in […]

  With nearly 200 weddings under my belt it’s not often I come across something I’ve not seen before, but Louise and Ash executed a reception idea that was totally new and super awesome.

One of my enduring memories of that wedding was two guys executing the most perfect Gangnam Style dance I’d ever seen (I told you it was many years ago – truth be told I miss wedding dance floor Gangnam, […]

grand cru estate wedding, barossa valley wedding

For some reason I’m fiercely patriotic when it comes to South Australia. I suspect it’s borne out of living overseas for so long and copping shit from other Aussie ex-pats when they found out I was from Adelaide (look who’s laughing now Eastern States!).

chateau tanunda wedding, barossa valley

One of my favourite things about living in the UK for 6 years was the fact they didn’t make much wine there (besides a few novelty vineyards). This meant that all their wine was imported so you could head down to your local supermarket and select from a huge variety of wines from all over […]

There’s no denying it, Lucas has a Jude Law vibe about him. And Lisa? Well, let’s go with Penelope Cruz. Even though they look like a couple straight out of Hollywood they have the down to earth friendliness of country folk, which is perfect because they’ve chosen to make the Clare Valley their home.
