This year, we have the joy of celebrating a few weddings but at the beginning of last year, I declared 2015 to be the year of the wedding (for us, at least)! I knew of many weddings but as the year progressed, so did this number. I can't imagine there being another year like this – lucky I love weddings!
We had three weekends with wedding clashes... devastating! Choosing which wedding, being split as a couple, missing out all together – none are good options. My husband is a pastor and is asked to be involved in many. I'm thankful for the weddings we get to enjoy!
Because I love weddings and it's such a special year, I wanted to document the weddings and share some highlights (and who doesn't want their wedding blogged... or is that just me!?).
Check them out and I hope they get you excited for any weddings you have coming up.
Wedding 1 // B E K & N I C K // 22 January 2015 // #woodyoumarrymein2015

Wedding 5 // T I M & A N N A // 22 August 2015 // #donthasslethehoughs
Devastating. Unfortunately Tim and Anna were on a clash weekend, and this time, my husband and I couldn't split between them, as one was in Australia and the other England. We flew to England to celebrate Wedding 6. From all reports, it was a super fun and beautiful day!

Wedding 6 // F R A N C E S C A & J O E L // 22 August 2015
A funny and fun celebration of two funny and fun friends. We travelled to England to celebrate these guys, and my husband preached at their ceremony. A beautiful English summer day followed by a crazy storm. What fun!
Wedding 7 // E R I N & J E R E M Y // 26 September 2015 // #wouldntitbebryce
Flowers, felt balls, fun and friends; this wedding honoured the creativity of the couple. So privileged to be included in the celebration and organisation of this wedding. My husband and I prayed for them and their future together at the ceremony and we MCed the party of these incredible friends.

Wedding 9 // M I T C H & S A R A H // 4 December 2015 // #bryce4lyf
A big but intimate wedding, full of fun and personality. If you like eating pizza, you would have liked this wedding. If you like a mad dance party, you would have liked this wedding. If you like good chats on small tables, you would have liked this wedding. Lots to love with a very loved-up couple.

Wedding 10 // D E E J A Y & R A C H // 12 December 2015 // #deejayandrachforever
When you attend the wedding of a wedding photographer, you know they will have thought of the details; I was not left disappointed. Held under a fig tree and in a community hall, much was left to their imaginations – thankfully they're a creative couple. A fun and relaxed celebration; I'm so happy I could celebrate as my husband celebrated Wedding 11.
Photographer: Tim Coulson Photography. Location: Fig Tree // Wyong Creek Hall. Flowers: Merrin Grace Floral Design. Stationery: Lauren Merrick Illustration.
Wedding 11 // D R E W & P H O E B E // 12 December 2015
Sadly I couldn't be present at this wedding to celebrate "Drewbe" and to hear my husband preach a brilliant sermon, but from all reports it was beautiful and fun and a great time to celebrate and catch up with old friends.
Photographer: Faure Valletta. Locations: Village Church, Annandale // Dedes at the Point, Sydney Rowing Club. Flowers: Floristik.
