They were married in a beautiful, classic ceremony at Quarry Farm in Whitby, nearby to where we all grew up, in a room filled with childhood friends and extended family – a tight knit, longstanding community all eager to witness Glen & Kara’s new beginning and commitment to one another.
Friends organised gifts in the form of personalised vouchers for their honeymoon in Sweden, Fabienne’s great Aunt woke up early to pick flowers fresh from her garden to create sweet bouquets and table decorations, and Will & Fabs exchanged beautiful custom rings engraved with the pattern of the stairs where Will proposed…
Working in the wedding industry, you see a lot of loved up couples tie the knot, and the parts of the wedding that I always remember are the stories. Disastrous first dates, individual quirks, romantic proposals, colossal mistakes, laugh-til-you-cry memories – all the little things that make a couple a couple.

The heat was searing under one of Cairns’ rare blue skies, but we smiled & laughed our way through the beautiful ceremony and were on our way to find breakfast near Port Douglas not much more than an hour later.
