Andrew & Jenay ✨

A weekend in the bush, where time slowed down and everything that mattered came into focus.

From early morning game drives to late night bonfires under the stars, their wedding wasn’t just a day - it was an experience.

Bonamanzi set the scene perfectly… wild, beautiful, and deeply intentional. And somewhere between the quiet of the bush and the energy of the dance floor, these two said yes to forever.

Adventurous love, exactly as it should be.

Thank you to the team that made this possible

Nate & Shelby ✨

One year ago, I had the privilege of being on the other side of the world for something far more personal than a wedding I was hired to document.

My brother, Nate, married the love of his life, Shelby. ❤️

I couldn’t quite switch off the photographer in me, so I managed to capture a few little moments from their beautiful day — an outdoor evening reception, the most incredible atmosphere, and one incredible party to finish it all off.

A year later, it feels pretty special to look back on these moments.

Happy one year, Nate & Shelby. 🥂

Tim & Bo ✨

On a softly overcast Midlands day at Granny Mouse, everything felt calm, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful. Bo was absolutely breathtaking, her dress detailed with the most intricate lace, while Tim looked incredibly handsome… even while quietly battling through being under the weather. And yet, you’d never know it,he showed up fully, present for every moment.

The day flowed into a beautiful ceremony, guests gathered on the lawn outside the chapel, enjoying canapés, laughter, and heartfelt speeches under the gentle grey sky. There was such an easy, joyful energy - the kind that comes when you’re surrounded by the people who know and love you best. Followed by an evening filled with dancing, games, and celebration. A wedding that felt intimate, genuine, and full of heart.

Proof that sometimes the softest days create the most unforgettable moments ✨

Your wedding isn’t just about the details…

it’s about the people who walk the journey with you.

The ones who understand your vision, who calm your nerves, who notice the moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

That’s what makes all the difference.

Love on the Lawn is where those connections begin -
where you meet the people behind the brands and start building a team that gets you.

If you’re newly engaged or deep in planning, this is your invitation to slow down, explore, and find your people.
