Including Loved Ones “Nathan's sister was a bridesmaid and my brother was a groomsman. It was important to both of us that our siblings could share the entire day. My mum and mother in law spent the wedding morning with me and my bridesmaids getting our hair and makeup done. Nathan and I prepared a 'Hand Holding' script that a close friend and family member read at our ceremony. The night before the wedding, we celebrated by inviting family and close friends to share dinner with us. This was the start of our celebrations!” Most Important “We wanted timeless, classic photos that would last a lifetime and to feel comfortable with our photographer - Life in Still Photography was fantastic. Styling was important to me as I am a details girl, with flowers number one on the list. We were looking for an intimate setting for our reception and high quality food and wine, which we found at the Gallery Restaurant. Guests were served canapés and pre-dinner drinks, followed by a three course meal accompanied by wines from the local wine region.”
