Georgie + Matt
On the far side of the Grampians just a titch north of Pomonal in the middle of a paddock you find yourself at the base of the most magnificent Gum Tree. A very special, majestic gum it stands tall, wide and strong. It never wavered in the 110 km winds. It held firm, roots deep in that family soil, cloaking Georgie and Matt while they said their vows.
Georgie and Matt celebrated their marriage on their dirt, in a dust storm whipping up 110km winds. It was hectic, but you know that good vibe, kinda hectic.
The spirit and love of all their family and friends and the fact that Georgie and Matt had hands down the best senses of who they are to each other and what their day really meant, made this day perfect. Many a couples would have come unhinged.
Georgie and Matt your day will be memorable to me for many reasons. You are two of the most amazing rad humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and spending a day with.
