Albany and Zach first met at the hospital where they were both working. As a barista in the coffee shop, Albany wondered if it was her coffee or her smile that kept Zach dropping by each morning. She didn’t have long to wonder, as after they were formally introduced by a matchmaking manager, Albany and Zach ventured out on their first date. Zach brought along biscuits which he had baked, which absolutely melted Albany’s heart. She excited told her mum that Zach might just be the “one”!
After many more hours spent together, Zach proposed at an evening out to watch the Nutcracker, and Albany ecstatically accepted. She walked down the aisle to music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.

With most of her family overseas, Albany decided on a simple wedding ceremony for her wedding to Zach. They live-streamed the ceremony to family and friends back home.
The wedding ceremony was held on a fine Summer afternoon at Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, beside the sparkling Brisbane River. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry organised all the legal paperwork for the marriage, and, together with the couple, created a ceremony with a little sentiment and a little laughter. The moments were captured by photographer, Romana Saeheng, who then took the couple to some secluded little spots alongside the river for couple portraits.
Following the ceremony and photos, the couple joined their guests at the Riverlife pergola for drinks, dancing, and donuts, as the sun set over the cityscape.

Kathleen and Alexander first met in an outback Hospital. Kathleen was a newly hired nurse, and on her first day, an intern wearing a pink dress shirt instantly caught her eye. Kathleen decided that her new job might be pretty interesting.

Not long afterwards, when Alex was relocated to Brisbane, Kathleen followed him, and they set about trying every restaurant on Alex’s rather long short-list.  

Too besotted with each other to wait for international borders to be opened, Alex and Kathleen were married in a simple ceremony by the Brisbane River, surrounded by colleagues and friends. Their families overseas watched on via livestreaming. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry guided the couple through the legal requirements and listened in as the couple exchanged sweet personal vows. Alex said, “You are the story I’ve always strived to write,” and Kathleen replied with, “You have become my best friend and my safe place.”

After cup cakes created by Cakes by Simone, guests made their way to a city restaurant for drinks while Kathleen and Alex made the most of the soft light before dusk with photographer Romana Saeheng. Styling by Miss Weddings

Lindsey and Cory chose one of the coolest venues in Brisbane for their wedding – Smoked Garage at Fortitude Valley.
The lower level of this venue on Wickham Street crafts custom motorcycles. Upstairs, the premises caters for live music events and functions.
The black and white tiled floor, stripped back brick walls, and exposed wooden roof trusses gave so many photo opportunitues for photographer, Mary, from Smile Darling Photos.

Cory looked handsome in a pale blue jacket which reflected his blue eyes. And Lindsey was just radiant in a figure hugging white gown which showed off her figure.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry invited the couple to share their vows to each other.

Lindsey gave some thought to her personal vows to Cory.
“So, these are my promises to you-
I promise, to always give you my honesty, trust and support
I promise, to always make you laugh when you’re being too serious
I promise, to fight with you and not against you
I promise to try and keep up with you, even if I need a moment to catch my breath,
I promise, to appreciate you, and never take you for granted
But most of all, I promise, that I will always make sure you feel loved,
and I promise to love you for the rest of my life.”

Cory responded with his own vows.
“I promise to be the best dad I can be.
I promise to be a husband you will always be proud of.
I promise to never keep score, even if I’m definitely winning.
I promise to walk by your side, to love, help and encourage you always.”
