The love story
Jessica and Jake first crossed paths at the gym, and after a few friendly run-ins, the messages started flying. Their first hangout? Watching Cars (Jake’s all-time fave, of course)! And for the official first date, they took a trip to Blue Pools with Jake’s best mate, Larko, tagging along – making it a day full of laughs, adventure, and the start of something special.
The engagement
While visiting our best friends in Noosa (shoutout to Larko and Maleah!), we took a sunset stroll along the beach. Under the most breathtaking sunset I’ve ever seen, Jake got down on one knee and proposed… It was absolutely perfect.
One piece of advice
Definitely hire a stylist – they took all the stress out of the planning! Enjoy the process and make decisions together as a couple. Turn picking your music into a date night; we had a blast doing that! And trust us, every bit of it is so worth it when you look back on your special day.
The gown
Choosing my wedding gown was such a special moment. I tried on a few, but this one just felt right – it was comfortable, unique, and I loved how it looked. It felt like me!
The venue
The Boisdale Stables is truly breathtaking…when we walked through with Laura, we knew instantly it was the perfect spot for our special day. There’s just something about stepping through those big stable doors that feels like coming home. We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!
Favourite ceremony memory
Our ceremony was everything we dreamed of. Caz understood exactly what we wanted and made it so memorable. We shared the story of how we met, a bit of our journey together, and even wrote our own vows. Then came the kiss… it was simply perfect.
Favourite memory
Ohhh, that’s a tough one! We loved every moment, but our first dance (which we choreographed ourselves!) and our photo session were definitely highlights. Taylah made the photos so much fun!
Favourite vendors
It’s impossible to choose just one favourite! Every single one of our vendors was incredible – we honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly!
