“I found a love, for me. Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead”

Justin + Steph met by chance at a beach front bar on Koh Samui in Thailand. Coincidentally it also happened to be Valentine’s Day, a sure sign that something special was about to happen. They hit it off and continued their romance when they returned to Sydney.

Steph loves Christmas so 5 years later, Justin planned something special on Christmas Eve. He recreated one of their first dates and they went for dinner, ice-cream and sat on the same bench in the park and joked about the same things as on that first date. They then went to see Christmas lights near where Steph grew up. When they returned home, Steph was surprised to discover that the front of their house had been decorated in flowers, balloons and written in Christmas lights was that very special question! 

Our happy couple were excited to share their day with their family and friends. They exchanged vows in front of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks at Observatory Hill. We went on a location shoot around The Rocks in Sydney before celebrating their Sydney wedding at View by Sydney.
