Nineteen hours in the company of author and fisher Sarah Drummond at her remote hideaway was as much a treat as it was inspiring. Thanks Sarah and Selkie for your hospitality and stories - looking forward to doing it all again soon x

The weather forecast for Joel and Sara's Denmark wedding day was for non-stop rain, so waking up on the Saturday morning to blue skies was a lovely surprise. And as it turned out the five minutes of rain we had all day produced the most magnificent double-rainbow at just the right moment - thank you weather gods!

Desmond and Pat had spent time at Tree Elle Retreat several years ago whilst touring the south west with some friends from Europe. It was clearly an experience that was memorable for all the right reasons because when they were thinking about how to mark Desmond's 80th birthday, a gathering of the clan from far and wide at Tree Elle over the Easter long weekend was the perfect solution. With four separate self-contained houses set amongst beautiful gardens it was the perfect location for a big family reunion with their five children and eleven grandchildren (and the perfect opportunity for an extended family photo session!)

So there is a new kid on the block as far as local wedding venues go - Torbay Hill Function Centre is now available for weddings and functions, and surely has to have the best view on the south coast of the Great Southern. Rachel and Jarrod had the honour of being their first wedding clients and held both their ceremony and their reception here. Definitely one to check out!

Any man who flies secretly to the other side of Australia and back to buy the engagement ring that his beautiful girlfriend has fallen in love with in a magazine, has to be a keeper! Once I heard that story, I knew this wedding was going to be romantic and very special.

A very early alarm call, a beautiful mumma-to-be, a wee blond boy, and a short drive from Denmark WA were all that was needed for this photo session :-)
